Impact of Training Programmes on the Knowledge of Elementary School Teachers of DIETs in Arunachal Pradesh

The present study aimed at investigating the impact of training programmes for the knowledge of elementary school teachers of DIETs in Arunachal Pradesh. For this purpose, investigators selected 24 teachers each from DIET Naharlagun and DIET Kamki as a sample. Normative cum Survey method was used and a tool used was a self developed tool developed by the investigators which consists of 24 items. To analyse and interpret the data, investigators used Measures of Central Tendencies, Variability, t-test and Correlation. The findings revealed that in the case of DIET, Naharlagun, the computed t-value was 1.68 which was lesser than the criterion t value of 2.07 at 0.05 level of confidence for 22 df. Therefore, the formulated hypothesis- “There will be no significant difference in the impact of training programmes on the knowledge of elementary school teachers of DIET, Naharlagun ( Papumpare district) in Arunachal Pradesh’’ gets accepted. The second null hypothesis for the case of DIET, Kamki also gets accepted as the computed t-value 0.47 was lesser than the criterion t value of 2.07. Furthermore, there was a very low and negative correlation between the impact of training programmes on the knowledge of elementary school teachers in DIET, Naharlagun (Papumpare) and DIET, Kamki (West Siang) of Arunachal Pradesh as the computed co-efficient of correlation value came out to be -0.16.
