Abstract
By analyzing the variables that influence self-esteem and academic achievement among college students, this action research seeks to identify strategies for enhancing these aspects. Upon completion of data collection and analysis, it was determined that participants, regardless of parental occupation or age, exhibit a propensity to employ self-coping mechanisms to maintain composure when confronted with adversity. Additionally, it was discovered that adolescents' self-esteem affected their academic performance. Furthermore, in an effort to augment their self-esteem, the counselor may offer individualized or group counseling to children who exhibit poor self-esteem. Educators have the capacity to aid students with diminished self-esteem in cultivating interpersonal skills and establishing connections with their families or custodians through the promotion of candid dialogue. Instances where educators inform guardians or parents of their children's academic underperformance and diminished self-worth may occur. The researchers have identified self-improvement activities that are advisable to engage in.
