Methodology is the most important part of any research study. It includes various steps that
are generally adopted by the researcher in studying the research problem along with the logic behind
them. 27
The present study was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of video teaching programme on
prevention of dengue fever among
This chapter deals in detail with the methodology adapted for the study. It also describes the
rationale for research approach, research design, setting of the study, population, sample, sampling
technique, and sample size, method of data collection, development of tool, ethical consideration,
validity, pilot study, reliability and plan for data analysis.
RESEARCH APPROACH
In the view of the nature of the problem selected, the present study is aimed to
evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on prevention of
dengue fever among students in selected pre university colleges at vijayapur.
Therefore, an evaluative research approach had been adopted in this study.
Collect data.
In view of the nature of problem selected for the present study to evaluate the
effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on prevention of dengue fever
among students in selected pre university colleges at Vijayapur. and for the attainment
of the objectives, an evaluative approach was considered appropriate for the present
study.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The selection of design depends upon the purpose of the study, research
approach and variable to be studied. The quasi -experimental design (one group pre
test – post test) was selected to assess the knowledge regarding prevention of dengue
fever among students in selected pre university colleges.
The quasi – experimental design is a design in which the pre- test and post-
test observation are made on different days with one selected group without a control
group.
The quasi - experimental design chosen for the study is outlined in Table No.1
followed by the study design in fig No.2.

“The tool was developed by the investigator with his personal and professional
experience and with related review of literature like books, journals, periodicals,
unpublished research studies and mass media. The developed tool was refined and
validated by subject experts and the guide”.

Content validity
Pre-testing the structured interview was done to check the clarity of the items,
their feasibility and practicability. The prepared tool was administered to 6 students of
selected pre university colleges Vijayapur.
The investigator found the language of the tool was simple and practicable and
the average time taken to complete the interview for each sample was 40 minutes.
The tool after validation was subject to test for its reliability. The reliability
was established by using Spearsman Brown Split-Half technique and it was found to
be r=0.437, which indicates the tool was reliable.
DEVELOPMENT OF VIDEO ASSISTED TEACHING PROGRAMME
The following steps were adopted to develop the Video assisted teaching
programme.
Review of literature
Translation
The first draft of the Video assisted teaching programme was developed
keeping in mind the objectives, criteria rating scale, literature reviewed and opinion of
the experts. The main factors are the level of understanding of students (non medical
people), simplify of the language, relevance of illustration / pictures (AV aids).
The initial draft of Video assisted teaching programme was given to experts
comprising of seven nursing educators from the department of community health
nursing, two physicians and statisticians along with the criteria rating scale. The
experts were requested to validate the Video assisted teaching programme based on
the criteria rating scale and to give their suggestions, on the adequacy and relevance
of the content. There was 88% agreement on “meets the criteria”; 12% agreement on
partially meets the criteria of the content. Experts’ suggestions were accepted and
modified the Video assisted teaching programme. Ensured clarity and validity of the
tool.
The final draft of the Video assisted teaching programme was prepared after
incorporating expert’s suggestions.
The Video assisted teaching programme was translated into Kannada.
Description of the Video Assisted teaching programme
Video assisted teaching programme was titled “Prevention of Dengue fever”
Video assisted teaching programme was prepared to enhance the knowledge regarding
Prevention of Dengue fever among students of selected high schools. It consisted of
the following areas;
Introduction
The draft of criteria rating scale and Video assisted teaching programme was
given to 10 experts for validation.
Charts and flash cards & Slides shows were considered appropriate A.V. Aids
to implement VATP. Different pictures related to the study were down loaded from
internet and it was laminated to make the pictures clear and attractive to the students
during the teaching programme.
Discussion
Participatory discussion
It was planned the time and date before implement the video assisted teaching
programme.
It was planned to inform the sample well in advance regarding Video assisted
teaching programme according to their convenience.
The evaluation of Video assisted teaching programme was done through post
test which was conducted after seven days of implementation of teaching programme.
Translation of Video assisted teaching programme
A Pilot Study is a study carried out at the end of the planning phase of
research in order to explore and test the research element.
The pilot study was conducted from ……..to ………at vijayapur, to find out
the feasibility of the tool and study. The investigator selected six students from the
total population by Simple randomized sampling technique. Pre-test was conducted
using structured knowledge questionnaire followed by implementation of video
assisted teaching programme. After seven days post-test was conducted by using the
same structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the effectiveness of Video
Assisted Teaching Programme.
The findings revealed that the post-test mean score 23.2 was higher than the
pre-test mean score 7.3 The computed paired‘t’ value 43.44 Showed that there is
significant difference between pre and post test mean knowledge score.
The pilot study indicated that the study will be feasible and patent. No
modifications were done after the pilot study.
