Abstract
A study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge and attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage. The objectives of the study were: 1. To assess the existing level of knowledge and attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage among higher secondary school students. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge and attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage among higher secondary school students. 3. To correlate the knowledge with attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage among higher secondary school students. 4. To find out the association between posttest knowledge and selected demographic variables. 5. To find out the association between the posttest attitude and selected demographic variables. The conceptual framework of the study was based upon von bertanlanffy’s general system theory of learning (1968) model. A quantitative evaluative research approach with experimental (pretest, posttest control group) design was adopted. A total 80 samples were used in this study by simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire and likert type attitude scale was used to assess knowledge and attitude related to hazards of plastic usage. Video assisted teaching programme was administered among higher secondary school students .The data collected were tabulated in 12 tables and 4 figures and analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that, majority of the students in control group (60%) had inadequate knowledge and experimental group (57.5%) had moderately knowledge in the pretest score. Where as the posttest level of knowledge that few in control group (25%) and very few in experimental group (2.5%) had inadequate knowledge. The most of the students in control (87.5) and experimental (50%) groups had neutral attitude. But after video assisted teaching programme majority of the students in experimental group (77.5%) developed positive attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage. The over all pretest and posttest knowledge in control (t-4.43) and experimental groups (t-14.56) and between control and experimental (t-10.10) was found highly significant at P < 0.001 and also attitude of higher secondary school students between control and experimental group (7.75) and before and after video assisted teaching programme in control group (4.95) and experimental group (5.46) was found statistically significant at P < 0.001. There was no significant association found between level of knowledge and attitude with the selected demographic variables. The study findings revealed that there was a positive correlation between posttest level of knowledge and level of attitude(r=0.414) at P < 0.001. The study conclude that, the video assisted teaching programme could effectively increase the knowledge and attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage among selected higher secondary school students. This study clearly stated that, health education plays a vital role in improving knowledge and attitude towards the hazards of plastic usage among selected higher secondary school students.
