Life Skills Assessment Scale for Self Awareness:
Although, there is adequate theoretical frame-work on life skills education, very few scientific tools for life skills assessment have been devised by various behavioural scientists. Conceptual review also indicated the lack of such a scale and therefore, the need for construction of a systematic assessment tool. Further, for early interventional purposes, the need for a multi-dimensional life skills assessment tool was required while working with large number of adolescents. To identify the problems while providing life skills interventional services, it is highly imperative for baseline assessment of life skills the participants possess and also to evaluate the effective of post intervention provided services.
Self awareness is the awareness about oneself (self consciousness). It includes one's recognition of themselves, one’s character, one's strengths and weaknesses, desires and dislikes. This helps the adolescent to understand his/her self worth and builds his/her confidence to face life boldly. It also enables one to identify ones weaknesses or negative personality traits and consequently improve oneself. Some of the self related terms are used as synonyms are self image, Self concept and Self esteem.
