A comparative study to evaluate the effectiveness of constructive teaching program (CTP) and self-instructional module (Sim) on knowledge regarding breast cancer among B.Ed students of selected B.Ed College, Hubballi-Dharwad

Abstract

A quasi-experimental; two group concurrent pre-test, post-test design was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Constructive Teaching Program (CTP) and Self-Instructional Module (SIM) on knowledge regarding Breast Cancer among 60 B.Ed students of selected B.Ed college who were divided into two groups (30 in Group-I with CTP and 30 in Group-II with SIM) were selected using Probability; Simple random sampling technique. Instruments used to measure the effectiveness are: Demographic variables and Structured Knowledge Questionnaire on various aspects of Breast cancer. Findings revealed that the ‘F’cal value (332.52*) is greater than the ‘F’tab value (4.08). This indicates that the mean gain in knowledge scores of B.Ed students in Group-I who were exposed to Constructive Teaching Program was higher than those in the Group-II who were exposed to Self-Instructional Module. This signifies CTP is more effective than SIM.
