Abstract
The main aim of present study was “To compare the effectiveness of video assisted teaching versus play way approach on the knowledge regarding the hazards of electronic gadgets among the early adolescents in selected school, Coimbatore. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the existing knowledge on the hazards of electronic gadgets among the early adolescents in group-I and group-II. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching regarding the hazards of electronic gadgets among the early adolescents in group-I. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of play way approach regarding the hazards of electronic gadgets among the early adolescents in group-II. 4. To compare the posttest knowledge level regarding hazards of electronic gadgets among the early adolescents in group-I and group-II. 5. To find out the association between the pretest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-I with their selected demographic variables. 6. To find out the association between the pretest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-II with their selected demographic variables. HYPOTHESIS: H1: The mean posttest knowledge level will be significantly higher than meanpretest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-I. H2: The mean posttest knowledge level will be significantly higher than mean pretest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-II. H3: There will be significant difference between the mean posttest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-I and group-II. H4: There will be significant association between the pretest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-I with their selected demographic variables. H5: There will be significant association between the pretest knowledge level of the early adolescents in group-II with their selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: Methodology is the systematic, theoretic analysis of the methods, applied to the field of study. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge. It was a quantitative study. True experimental, factorial research design was used. Probability systematic random sampling technique was used in this study. The sample consists of 30 early adolescents from Crescent Matriculation Higher Secondary School for group-I and 30 early adolescents from Islamiya Matriculation Higher Secondary School for group-II who came under the inclusion criteria. The prepared tool and teaching module was validated by the experts of medical and nursing professionals. The study was found to be reliable pilot study was done. Pretest was conducted by using self-administered questionnaires. Post test was conducted after one week. Data analysis was done by computing frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired‘t’ test, independent ‘t’ test and chi-square test. RESULTS: The significant findings of the study are, In the pretest, among 30 adolescents in group-I, 17 (56.7%) had inadequate knowledge, 13 (43.3%) had moderate knowledge and 0 (0%) had adequate knowledge in pretest. The level of knowledge was improved after intervention (video assisted teaching), 22 (73.3%) had moderate knowledge and 8 (26.7%) had adequate knowledge. Among 30 adolescents in group-II, 19 (63.3%) had inadequate knowledge, 11 (36.7 %) had moderate knowledge and 0 (0%) had adequate knowledge in pretest. The level of knowledge was improved after intervention (play way approach), 15(50%) had moderate knowledge and 8 50%) had adequate knowledge. Among group-I, the pretest mean was 10.4 and the posttest mean was 17.5, the mean difference was 7.6and the standard deviation of pretest was 2.8 and posttest was 8.The calculated paired ‘t’ value was 34.1 was highly significant than the table value ( 2.6) at 0.05 level. Hence the stated hypothesis was accepted. It was inferred that video assisted teaching on hazards of electronic gadgets was effective in improving the knowledge of the early adolescents in group-I. Among group-II the pretest mean was 10 and the posttest mean was 19.8, the mean difference was 9.8 and the standard deviation of pretest was 3 and posttest was 3.5. The calculated paired ‘t’ value was 26.4 was highly significant than the table value (2.6) at 0.05 level. Hence the alternate hypothesis was accepted. It was inferred that play way approach on hazards of electronic gadgets was effective in improving the knowledge of the early adolescents in group-II. When comparing the effectiveness of both interventions, among group-I the posttest mean was 18 and group-II posttest mean was 19.8, the mean difference was 1.8 and the standard deviation of posttest was 3.5.The calculated independent ‘t’ value 1.5 was less than the table value (2.6) at 0.05 level. Hence the stated hypothesis was not accepted. It was inferred that both the video assisted teaching and play way approach on hazards of electronic gadgets was effective in improving the knowledge of the early adolescents in group-I and group-II.
