METHODOLOGY: The research design used in this study was quasi experimental design, one group pre and post test design without control group. The samples for the study consist of 30 teachers selected by simple random sampling technique by using lottery method. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess knowledge and attitude scale used to assess the attitude regarding management of selected visual problems in primary school children among teachers. Following pre test structured teaching programme was given to school teachers about 45 minutes. A post test was conducted to assess the level of knowledge and attitude with the same tool used for the pre test after 7 days. Collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in term of frequency percentage, mean, standard deviation and chi-square analysis. The findings revealed that in the pre test, 28 (93.33%) had inadequate knowledge and 2 (6.67%) had moderately adequate knowledge whereas in the post test after the administration of structured teaching programme, 25 (83.33%) had adequate knowledge, and 5 (16.67%) had moderately adequate knowledge regarding management of selected visual problems in primary school children among teachers. Regarding attitude in the pre test, 27(90%) had unfavourable attitude and 3 (10%) had moderately favourable attitude whereas in the post test after the administration of self-instructional module, 24 (80%) had favourable attitude and 6 (20%) had moderately favourable attitude regarding management of selected visual problems in primary school children among teachers. The analysis revealed that the post test mean score of knowledge was 21.06±1.98 and the post test mean score of attitude was 43.80±5.46. The calculated Karl Pearson’s Correlation ‘r’ value of rs = 0.629 shows a moderate positive correlation between post test knowledge and attitude score which was found to be statistically significant at p≤0.001 level. CONCLUSION: This study shows an improvement in knowledge and attitude after the educational intervention.
