    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2015-08) Joshi, Neha; Singh, Ritu
    An individual receives impressions of the world through his sense organs. Senses are said to be the gateway to knowledge. More impressions reach the brain through the sense of sight than through all other senses combined. It has been thus, said that “eyes are the windows of the soul”. Thus, lack of sight makes the individual blind and aloof from the physical world. The present study was undertaken to assess the difference, if any, exists in the levels of educational aspirations and achievement motivation of visually impaired and sighted enrolled under inclusive and exclusive education in Uttarakhand. It has been realized that, there is a need to identify whether educational aspirations and motivation in inclusive and exclusive settings of visually impaired adolescent and sighted adolescent does make any differences. The sample for the present study comprised of four groups viz. a) visually impaired adolescents from exclusive educational settings b) visually impaired adolescents from inclusive educational settings c) Sighted adolescents from inclusive educational settings d) Sighted adolescents from exclusive educational settings .50 respondents were randomly selected under each group of sample from the identified locale so as to make a total sample of 200 respondents for the study. Educational aspiration and achievement motivation of the population under study was assessed by employing two tools viz. Level of Educational Aspiration Test (LEAT) developed by Dr. Yashmin Ghani Khan.(1999) and Achievement Motivation Scale (n-Ach) developed by Prof. Pratibha Deo and Dr. Asha Mohan(1985). The present study revealed that Education aspiration was found to be significantly higher in visually impaired adolescents of exclusive education as compared to visually impaired adolescents of inclusive education in all the domains of educational aspiration except reality of aspired goals. In sighted adolescents education aspiration was found to be significantly higher in inclusive education in family support and pupil’s view domain. However for the pupil’s effort and reality of aspired goals domains in sighted adolescents from exclusive education were found to be higher. Achievement motivation was found to be significantly higher in visually impaired adolescents of exclusive education as compared to visually impaired adolescents of inclusive education Socio –demographic and socioeconomic variables also influenced the levels of educational aspiration and achievement motivation. Significant difference was observed in terms of level of educational aspiration across gender in inclusive education of visually impaired adolescents and sighted adolescents of exclusive education, across birth order in inclusive and exclusive education of sighted adolescents, across number of siblings in inclusive and exclusive educational settings of visually impaired adolescents, across visual impairment in exclusive education, across visual impairment onset in inclusive education, across father’s and mother’s education in inclusive and exclusive education of visually impaired adolescents and sighted adolescents. No Significant difference was observed across family income and parent’s occupation. Significant difference was observed in terms of level of achievement motivation of visually impaired adolescents from inclusive education across number of siblings . Across father’s and mother’s education in inclusive and exclusive education of visually impaired adolescents and sighted adolescents, across father’s occupation of visually impaired adolescents under inclusive education, across family income visually impaired adolescents from exclusive education significant difference were found and no significant differences was observed in other variables under level of achievement motivation.

    Entire growth and development in the life of person takes place during adolescence period. In India, anaemia affects adolescents to a great extent. Special health care and guidelines in the attitudes and practices among adolescent girls with proper nutrition education on anaemia. Participatory video (PV) is a type of participatory action research which involves a group or a community in the creation of their own educational film as a form of “peer education”. The present research study was targeted to adolescent girls for nutrition education through participatory video and test the effectiveness of video. A total of 68 volunteered subjects i.e. adolescent girls studying in tenth to twelfth grade from Govt. Girls Inter College, Pantnagar, participated in the study which were divided in the three groups viz. participatory nutrition education (PNE) group (n=12), control 1 (non participatory nutrition education (NPNE) group, n=21) and control 2 (non nutrition education (NNE) group, n=35). PNE group subjects were involved in development of video so became the participatory i.e. experimental group. NPNE group only viewed the video after its development and NNE group did not receive any intervention. Ethical considerations were taken care prior to start of the study. Participatory video on street play entitled “Anaemia: A silent Killer” on causes prevention and consequences of anaemia was developed and its effectiveness was measured by improvement in knowledge, attitude and practices in PNE against controls. KAP questionnaire was developed and validated before intervention study. Pre and post test data was collected in all the three study groups before and after intervention, respectively. The findings of the study shows that the three groups in the study at pre test data were statistically non significant. After intervention through participatory video there was statistically significant difference among PNE group followed by NPNE and NNE group. PNE group outperformed among all the groups followed by NPNE and NNE group with respect to knowledge, attitude and practices regarding anaemia. This study found that participatory video was effective for the purpose of providing nutrition education on anaemia among adolescent girls. The findings in this study recommend that this participatory video may be used for alleviating anaemia among adolescent girls in the state of Uttarakhand as well as at national level at large.
