ABSTRACT:

Abstract: Mental health means the ability to balance feelings, distress, ambitions for idea in once daily life and the ability to face and accept realities of life.1 Importance of good habit lays the fact that if we practice habit, it will take form of your character Bad habits are a patterned behavior regarded as detrimental to on physical and mental health. The decade of adolescence conceptualize as the ages of 10 to 19 years normal behavior in adolescence depends on age, personality and physical and emotional development. Adolescents are at risk for the development of problem behaviors that are distressing and socially disruptive. Some problem behaviors, such as having multiple sex partners, can result in problems for the individual and others.4 Methods: Evaluative research approach was used for this study and it aims to assess the knowledge regarding Behavioral Problems for B.Ed. students. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used. Non probability convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample. Result: The reliability of the tool is computed using split half Karl Pearson’s correlation formula (Raw score method). The reliability co-efficient of half test of knowledge questionnaire (r1/2) is found to be 0.96. The mean percentage of post-test knowledge score (85%) was higher than the mean percentage of pre-test knowledge score (40.1%). The calculated 't 'value (28.92%) is greater than the table value (0.05, 49df). It showed a significant difference between mean pre and post-test knowledge scores. Calculated c2 values are showed significant association between age, family income/month. CONCLUSION: A pre-experimental one group pretest posttest design was used in the study. The data was collected from 50 samples through purposive sampling technique. This study is concluded that, the knowledge of the adolescent was not adequate before the introduction of STP. After the introduction of the STP, the posttest findings showed the significant increase in the knowledge of B.Ed. students on selected Behavioural problems. STP is proved to be one of the effective teaching strategies.

INTRODUCTION:

Health is an essential factor for a happy contended life. Habits are influence the health and behavior of the individual. Habit is an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary.2 Importance of good habit lays the fact that if we practice habit, it will take form of your character Bad habits are a patterned behavior regarded as detrimental to on physical and mental health. This is often link lack of self-control and psychological changes some of them are consumption of tobacco (smoking), alcoholism, drug abuse etc. Adolescence, the period of transition from childhood to adulthood, is a decade filled with profound and often confusing changes. In the current culture adolescent are viewed as neither children nor adults. The decade of adolescence conceptualize as the ages of 10 to 19 years normal behavior in adolescence depends on age, personality and physical and emotional development. According to the world Health Organization smoking disease are set to become a greater problem in developing countries than communicable disease and malnutrition. Nearly 50,000 deaths annually are attributed tobacco and smoking in adolescents age time as a mass media initiation. Globally the prevalence rate of behavior problems varied from 5% - 51%. In the Indian studies prevalence rate varied from 13 per 1000 to 431 per 1000. Analysis at out- patients department revealed behavior problems in the range of 3.36% to 50%. Single parenting and violence have been associated with beginning for the grown-up ones. Studies from India have revealed the prevalence rates to be 12.5% in 11-16 years community-based sample from Bangalore; 9.4% in 12-14 years old from a community sample in Kerala and 6.3% in 10-15 years old youth in Chandigarh.3

 

OBJECTIVES:

·       To assess the existing knowledge of B. Ed students regarding management of selected adolescent behavioral problems and its prevention.

·       To evaluate the effectiveness of STP on selected adolescent behavioral problems management among B Ed students.

·       To find the association between posttest knowledge scores of B. Ed students and their selected socio demographic variables.

 

RESULT:
