dc.description.abstractThe present study was conducted to assess the academic readiness in rural and urban government school children and its knowledge among teachers. The study was based on 200 class-I students (i.e. 100 rural and 100 urban) and 100 teachers (i.e. 50 rural and 50 urban) teaching class-I. The sample was randomly drawn from seven Government primary schools of Ludhiana district. Self -structured Academic Readiness Checklist was prepared to assess different domains viz. pre-reading, pre-writing and pre-arithmetic readiness of Class-I students. Similarly, Self -structured Teachers‟ Knowledge Questionnaire was prepared to assess the knowledge of rural and urban teachers regarding various aspects of academic readiness. Results revealed that overall academic readiness of children was found at average level. Pre-reading and pre-arithmetical skills were found to be average but pre-writing skills were low. Locale differences in academic readiness of rural and urban children were found to be non-significant in all the domains, however urban children were found to be performing better than rural children. Urban girls had better pre-reading and pre-writing skills than rural girls. Gender differences in academic readiness of urban children showed significant differences in majority of the domains, except in pre-arithmetical skills. However, in rural children non-significant gender differences were observed in all the domains except in high level of pre-arithmetical skills. Majority of both rural and urban teachers had low level of knowledge regarding academic readiness. Non-significant differences were found in the knowledge levels of rural and urban teachers. Irrespective of age, education, teaching experience and degree, all teachers depicted poor knowledge regarding academic readiness.en_US
