Abstract
The present research was “A study to assess the effectiveness of story map technique on the level of comprehension skills among school children in selected schools at erode.” It was conducted by Ms. Sathiabhama in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Nursing at the Nandha College of Nursing, under The Tamilnadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai during the year 2015. The objectives of the study To find out the pretest and posttest level of comprehension skills among school children both in experimental and control group. Implement and evaluate the effectiveness of story map technique among the school children both control and experimental group. To find out the association between Levels of comprehension skills among school children with their selected demographic variables such as Age in year, Religion, Gender, Parent’s education, Types of family, Occupation of the parents, and Income. The following hypotheses were set for the study and all study and all hypothesis’ were set for the study and all hypothesis were tested at 0.05 level of significance. H1 : Story map technique is effective in improving the comprehension skills among school children. H2 : There will be a significant association between the comprehensions skills score of school children with their selected demographic variables such as Age in year, Religion, Gender, Parent’s education, Types of family, Occupation of the parents, and Income. METHODOLOGY: The conceptual frame work of the study was based upon J.W.Kenny’s open system model. The research approach used this study was experimental study and the research design was “true experimental design”. 50 school children were selected for this study by using randomization. The tool was given to five experts for content validity. Pilot study was conducted to find the feasibility of the study and to plan for data analysis. Data were collected with the help of modified rubric assessment scale. Samples taken for experimental group was from A.E.T Matriculation higher secondary school. Sample taken for control group was from Nandha Matriculation higher secondary school. Pre test conducted for both experimental and control group on the day one. Intervention (story map technique) applied for experimental group students only at A.E.T Matriculation. Post test conducted on the day five for both experimental and control group. After post test, story map technique was taught to the control group. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square, paired‘t’ test and unpaired‘t’ test) were used to analyze the data and to test hypothesis. The significant findings of the study were: Table -4.3.1 shows that the comparison of pre and post-test scores on the level of comprehension skills in control group. The mean pre-test score was 10.64 and mean post-test score was 10.2. The obtained Paired’t’test value was 0.229 when compared to table value (2.02) it is low. It seems that there is no significant difference between pre-test and post-test score on the level of comprehension skills in control group. Table-4.3.2 Shows that the comparison of pre and post-test scores on the level of comprehension skills in experimental group. The mean post-test score is 18.3 which was higher than the mean pretest score 10.8. The obtained Paired‘t’ test value was high *7.88 when compared to table value (2.02). The above finding shows that there is significant difference between pretest and post test score on the level of comprehension skills in the experimental group. So the researcher accepts the research hypothesis (H1). It seems that the story map technique makes significant difference on the comprehension skills in experimental group. Table-4.3.3 Shows that the calculation of unpaired ‘t’test to analyze the difference between the mean post-test score on the level of comprehension skills in control and experimental group. The experimental group mean post-test value was 18.3 which is higher than mean post-test value 10.2 of control group The Unpaired ‘t’ value was *6.404 when compared to table value (2.02) is high which is significant at 0.05 level. This indicates the difference between the post test means in both the experimental and control group is a true difference. So the researcher accepts the research hypothesis (H1). This shows that story map technique was effective in improving on the level of comprehension skills among school children’s. Table-4.4.1 Shows that there was no significant association found between the post-test score on the level of comprehension skills in control group with other demographic variables namely age, gender, religion, education of the parents, types of family, occupation and income (P>0.05). Table-4.4.2 Shows that there is a significant association between the post test score on the level of comprehension skills with income of the family of school children. There was no significant association between the post-test score on the level of comprehension skills with demographic variables in experimental group such as Age in year, Religion, Gender, Parent’s education, Types of family, Occupation of the parents, (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This study proved to be very essential as story map technique play an important role in children to improve the level of comprehension skills.
