| Summary: | This paper aims to enhance assistant teachers'
psychological knowledge and skills in handling
. typically developed children. A pre-post study
· design of 50 participants (i.e., PPM & PPM PPKJ)
from 38 schools in Sabak Bernam Selangor was
employed. The individual and joint effectiveness of
the two modules (Module I and Module 2) were
measured by a developed test. The test consists of
items that are categorized under three domains
which are knowledge, attitudes and practices. The
test was given to participants before and after the
workshops. Results show that a bigger improvement
of scores was noted in post single assessment of
Module 1 and Module 2 and post assessment of
combined Module 1 and Module 2. The results
indicate that the participants achieved greater
scores on the knowledge and skills of children's
development after attending the workshops of
Module 1 and Module 2. Overall, these results imply
that there is sufficient evidence to draw a
conclusion about the effectiveness of the two
modules in enhancing PPM & PPM PPKJ's
psychological knowledge and skills in
understanding and ·managing typically developed
children. |
