Abstract

A Study was done to Assess the Effectiveness of Child Centered Play on Socialization among Children in Selected Orphanage, Salem. Pre-experimental research design one group pre test – post test was adopted for the study. The study was conducted at Nesackkarangal Orphanage, Judge Road, Salem, where 60 children were selected by simple random sampling technique. Modified Vineland Social Maturity scale was used to assess the level of socialization. Data collection was done from 14-7-11 to 7-8-11 through semi structured interview and structured observational check list. Children were made to play role play and koko game. Post test was conducted on 26th and 27th day. The data collected were analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. In pre test, none of the children had adequate level of socialization, 13 (21.7%) had moderately adequate level of socialization, 47 (78.3%) had inadequate level of socialization. In post test 44 (73.3%) had adequate level of socialization, 16 (26.7%) had moderately adequate level of socialization and none of them had inadequate level of socialization. There was a significant difference between pre test & post test scores after intervention. The mean pre test score was 45.22±9.8, whereas in post test the score was 94.2±21.8. The estimated ‘t’ value 17.60 at p <0.001 level was greater than the table value. So the child centered play was effective in improving the level of socialization. In post test there was no significant association between the level of socialization and the selected demographic variables except their likeness to spend leisure time and type of hobbies where significant association was found. So, H2 was rejected with post test level of socialization except their likeness to spend leisure time (χ 2 =5.621) and type of hobbies (χ 2 =8.815) where H2 was retained. This implies that child centered play was effective in improving the socialization of orphanage children.
