Two standardized questionnaires were prepared for assessing the nature of a student’s self-awareness and teacher’s teaching methods while t-tests were conducted to test the hypotheses. Results indicate that the methods of developing self-awareness must be influenced by the characteristics of the teaching with heart and during adolescence - students become very much aware of themselves which, in turn, emphasizes the requirement of proper development of their self-awareness. Therefore, a major contribution of this study may provide a platform to isolate some of the factors which affect the self-awareness of the adolescent students.
