Abstract:- The perception of one’s own qualities and attributes is referred to as one’s self-concept. An individual’s self-concept can be referred to as awareness of self. The self-concept of teachers can influence the self-concept of their students. The current study was carried out to investigate and compare the self-concept of female teachers working at various levels of education. It is recommended that teacher education programmes focus on techniques and strategies for improving students’ self-concept as well as content, skills, and teaching strategies. The study’s objectives are to look into any significant differences in the self-concept of female teachers based on their level of education, age, training, educational qualification, marital status, caste, and location. The study’s goal was to assess the self-concept of female elementary and secondary school teachers in West Bengal. The descriptive method was used in the study design. A sample of 240 women teachers, (Elementary and Secondary level, below 30 & above 30, Trained & Untrained, High qualification & Low qualification, Married & Unmarried, General/OBC & SC/ST and Rural & Urban female teachers) was drawn for collection of data by a simple random sampling procedure where elementary school teachers were 120 and secondary school teachers were 120. For assessing self-concept of women teachers, Nayak’s (2004) The Teacher Self-Concept Scale was used. The main findings are that there is a significant difference in self-concept of female teachers based on education level, age, training, educational qualification, marital status, caste, and location.
