  • Abstract:
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood, often identified during the early school years. Teachers play a vital role in early identification and classroom management of children with ADHD; however, inadequate knowledge among teachers can lead to misinterpretation of behaviors and poor academic outcomes. This pre-experimental study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding ADHD among primary school teachers. A quantitative approach with one-group pre-test and post-test design was adopted. Sixty primary school teachers from selected schools in Bilaspur, (C.G) were selected using non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire. The results revealed a significant improvement in post-test knowledge scores, with a calculated t-value of 21.23 at p<0.001 level, indicating the effectiveness of the structured teaching programme. The study concludes that structured educational interventions are effective in enhancing teachers’ knowledge regarding ADHD and recommends regular in-service training programs for school teachers.
