We have investigated the young stellar population in and around SFO 38, oneof the massive globules located in the northern part of the Galactic HII regionIC 1396, using the Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations (3.6 to 24 micron) andfollowed up with ground based optical photometric and spectroscopicobservations. Based on the IRAC and MIPS colors and H-alpha emission weidentify ~45 Young Stellar Objects (Classes 0/I/II) and 13 probable Pre MainSequence candidates. We derive the spectral types (mostly K- and M-type stars),effective temperatures and individual extinction of the relatively bright andoptically visible Class II objects. Based on optical photometry and theoreticalisochrones, we estimate the spread in stellar ages to be between 1--8 Myr witha median age of 3 Myr and a mass distribution of 0.3--2.2 Msun with a medianvalue around 0.5 Msun. Using the width of the H-alpha emission line measured at10% peak intensity, we derive the mass accretion rates of individual objects tobe between 10^{-10} to 10^{-8} Msun/yr. From the continuum-subtracted H-alphaline image, we find that the H-alpha emission of the globule is not spatiallysymmetric with respect to the O type ionizing star HD 206267. We clearly detectan enhanced concentration of YSOs closer to the southern rim of SFO~38 andidentify an evolutionary sequence of YSOs from the rim to the dense core of thecloud, with most of the Class II objects located at the bright rim. The YSOsappear to be aligned along two different directions towards the O6.5V type starHD 206267 and the B0V type star HD 206773. This is consistent with theRadiation Driven Implosion (RDI) model for triggered star formation. (Abridged)
