A study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on level of knowledge regarding road safety measures amongmiddle school children in selected school at Kanchipuram

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on level of knowledge regarding road safety measures among middle school children in selected schools at Kanchipuram. AIM OF THE STUDY: The prime aim of the study was to assess the knowledge on Road safety measures before and after video assisted teaching program among middle school children. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the Pre and post test level of knowledge on road safety measures among middle school children in experimental group and control group. 2. To assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on Road safety measures among experimental group, control group. 3. To find out the association between socio demographic variables and the level of knowledge regarding road safety measures among experimental group. SETTING: The selection of setting was done on the basis of feasibility of conducting the study, availability of subjects and cooperation of the authorities. The data was collected from the Middle school children studying in C.S.I Middle school at big Kanchipuram. And C.S.I. Middle school at central Kanchipuram. The selection of setting was done on the basis of feasibility of conducting the study, availability of subjects and cooperation of the authorities. For the study, a selected school, Kanchipuram were chosen considering the availability of samples, acquaintance of the investigator with the area and the cooperation from the institution. POPULATION: Population is the entire set of individuals or subjects having some characteristics selected for a study. Target population is the entire population in which the researchers are interested and to which they would like to generalize the research findings. In this study, Middle school children were the target population. Accessible population is the aggregate of cases that confirm to the designed inclusion and exclusion criteria and that are accessible as subjects of the study. The accessible population selected for this study was middle school children who are studying in C.S.I Middle school at big Kanchipuram. And C.S.I. Middle school at central Kanchipuram. INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Both sex from 11-13 years age group. 2. Students who are studying in middle school at Kanchipuram. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Students who are physically ill at the time if data collection. 2. Students are not willing to participate. HYPOTHESIS: H1: There is a significance difference between pre test the level of knowledge children regarding road safety measures among middle school in experimental group and control group. H2 : There is a significance between post test level of knowledge on road safety measures among middle school children in experimental and control group. H3: There is a significant association between the post test levels of knowledge regarding road safety measures with their selected demographic variables among the middle school children in experimental group. CONCLUSION: The following conclusions were drawn from the findings of the study. Video assisted teaching method is an effective method of giving information to people. This method helps to easy understanding and make more aware about road safety measures, it helps to prevent development of accidents.
