A pre-experimental study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge and attitude regarding attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Adhd) in children among Teachers of Selected Primary Schools, Jalandhar, Punjab

Children's maturation and progress never ends. It's conceivable that if they're given the correct circumstances, they'll bloom into a lovely flower and become better citizens. Research states that 3% to 5% of primary school age kids have ADHD. Due to the amount of times they watch a child's conduct in the classroom, teachers are vital in recognizing and recommending kids with ADHD. The study was done utilizing a quantitative research approach that includes a one-group pre-test and post-test. The non-probability purposive selection strategy was utilized to pick a total of 60 teachers from designated schools in Jalandhar, Punjab. To obtain the information, researchers employed self-structured questionnaire and Likert scale. Pre-test knowledge scores averaged 7.26 (±2.09), but post-test knowledge scores averaged 26.1 (±2.63), with a t value of 24.81 suggesting a statistically significant difference at p<0.001. In addition, the study revealed that the average pre-test attitude score was 78.98 (±2.15), and also the average post-test attitude score was 122.2 (±5.74), with a calculated 't' value of 21.88, which was very significant at p<0.001. Accordingly, the study demonstrated a substantial difference in post-test knowledge and a positive change in post-test attitudes towards ADHD in children following the implementation of video-assisted instruction on the issue.
