The present study was carried out with an objective to study the effect of intervention on concept development among rural pre-school children. The sample for the study constitute
d 62 children in the age of 3-4 years who were attending Anganwadies in three adopted villages of Dharwad taluka. Information on concept was
collected with the help of Boehm Scale. School based intervention programme was conducted for
two months to improve children's knowledge about different concepts. The results indicated significant improvement in the concept development of children where in more number
of children were fell under medium category at pre-test and after intervention more number of children were fell under high category of concept development. An intervention programme enhanced the cognitive abilities and knowledge of different concepts among the rural pre-schoolers.

The study was conducted to know the problem solving and creative thinking ability of High School children. Sample of 300 High School children from teenage group 13-16 years of both sex, studying in 8th and 9th standard were selected from government and private schools of Dharwad district. General problem solving ability of the students was assessed by using check list and mathematical problem solving ability of children was assessed by Problem solving ability inventory developed by Dubey (2010). Creative thinking scale developed by Mehdi (1989) was used to assess the creative thinking ability of children. Results revealed that majority of the children had medium level of general and mathematical problem solving ability and high level of creative thinking ability. Gender has significant influence on problem solving ability however girls performed better in general problem solving ability than boys, whereas boys performed better than girls in mathematical ability.Keywords
