ABSTRACT
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge regarding ergonomic exercises and their uses among higher secondary school students at selected schools of Olpad Taluka, Surat, Gujarat.
Research Methodology : A quantitative research approach was adopted, and 60 participants from selected rural areas of Olpad Taluka were selected by using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. Formal permission was obtained from the concerned authority before data collection. A self-structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect the data from the participants. A self-structured knowledge questionnaire was prepared to assess the knowledge of the samples. Content validity of the developed tool and structured teaching programme was established by five experts, and necessary modifications were made as suggested by them. Reliability of the tool was ascertained by Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation (r) method.
Result: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 9.50, and the mean post-test knowledge score was 14.60. The significance of the difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge was statistically tested using a paired t-test, and it was found to be significant at the 0.05 level (t = 19.61, t = 2.00, respectively). There was a significant increase in the knowledge of the samples after the administration of video-assisted teaching on knowledge regarding ergonomic exercises and their uses among higher secondary school students at selected schools in Olpad Taluka, Surat, Gujarat. Hence, it is concluded that video-assisted teaching was effective in improving the knowledge of higher secondary school students in Olpad Taluka, Surat, Gujarat.
