In this pilot study, we investigated the impact of intervention programme on teachers’ knowledge regarding developmental milestones of 6-10 years of age group children. The present study was carried out in two cultural zones of Haryana (an Indian state). Thirty teachers for one thousand children in the age group of 6-10 years from both cultural zones were assessed for their knowledge regarding developmental milestones of 6-10 years age children. After pre-assessment, the intervention programme was imparted to teachers regarding developmental milestones of children for a period of one week.After a gap of one month, teachers were post-tested.Results revealed that at pre-testing stage there were no significant differences in knowledge of teachers from both the zones regarding various developmental milestones: t-values were not significant for gross-motor (t=1.84), fine-motor (t=0.00), cognitive (t=0.00), language (t=0.50), social (t=0.40) and emotional domains (t=0.61) and also for overall development (t=0.73). Results revealed that after exposure to intervention programme, teachers’ knowledge about developmental milestones of children improved significantly, as t-values for developmental gain were significant for gross-motor (t=5.43*), fine-motor (t=4.01*), cognitive (t=5.13*), language (t=4.71*), social (t=4.07*), emotional (t=4.65*) and overall development (12.23*).Keywords

The present study was carried out in two cultural zones (Khadar & Mewat) of Haryana state. Two hundred children in the age group of 6-10 years from two cultural zones were assessed for their developmental level in gross and fine motor, cognitive, language, social and emotional domains. A checklist was prepared to assess developmental level children. Results revealed no significant differences between developmental status of boys and girls for grossmotor (t=2.29), fine-motor (t=0.12), cognitive (0.12), language (t=0.57), social (t=0.48), emotional (t=0.59) and overall development (t=1.51) of boys and girls. From Khadar zone, results depicted that for gross-motor (t=0.19), fine-motor (t=0.00), cognitive (t=0.00), language (t=0.93), social (t=0.29), emotional (t=0.00) and overall development (t=0.48) of boys and girls were not different. Similarly in Mewat cultural zone, results revealed that there was no difference in developmental status of boys and girls with delayed milestones. Independent sample tvalues for gross-motor (t=2.89), fine-motor (t=0.17), cognitive (t=0.17), language (t=0.22), social (t=0.44), emotional (t=0.76) and overall development (t=1.73) were not found to be significant.Keywords
