Nisha Justin*, Sr. Teena Kavungal and Sunu K. Rajan

ABSTRACT

A nation’s child is its supremely important asset and the nation’s future lies in their proper development. An investment in children is indeed an investment in the nation’s future. A healthy and educated child of today is the active and intelligent child of tomorrow. It is the responsibility of the parents, teachers and the society to bring up the children in a constructive way. Children's rights are the human rights with particular attention for special protection and care afforded to the young, Human identity as well as the basic needs for food, universal state-paid education, health care and criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child. So, a descriptive study was done, to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the rights and legal provisions of children among teachers in selected primary schools at Kollam district. Using convenience sampling technique 60 samples were selected and data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that in the pre-test 1.6% had high knowledge, 66.7% had moderate knowledge and 31.7% had poor knowledge. After the structured teaching programme in the post-test 72% had high knowledge and 28% had moderate knowledge. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value was 25.069 hence the research hypothesis was accepted. There was no significant association between the pre-test knowledge score and selected sociodemographic variables. Thus, it was concluded that there was a significant improvement in post-test score when compared to pre-test score, so the structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding rights and legal provisions of children was effective among teachers in primary schools.

Keywords: Structured teaching programme, Primary school teachers; rights and legal provisions of children.
