Abstract
The present thesis entitled ‘Effectiveness of Project Work Technique in
Developing Reading Skill’ was carried out to determine the effectiveness of
project work technique in developing reading skill. Forty students of class XII
studying at Mahendranagar Higher Secondary School, Mahendranagar,
Kanchanpur were the sample of this study. The researcher herself was involved
in experimental teaching for the purpose of carrying out the research. The tests
(pre- and post-) were the major tools for data collection. A pre-test was
administered before experimental teaching and a post-test was administered
immediately after teaching for about one month. After administering the pretest,
the
students
were
ranked
from
the
first
to
the
last
positions
on
the
basis
of
the
result
of
the
pre-test.
Then,
they
were
divided
into
two
groups
taking
the
odd/even
ranking
into
account.
First
experimental
group
was
taught
using
project
work
technique
whereas
another
control
group
was
taught
in
a
traditional
way
i.e.
using
lecture
method.
Each
group
attended
twenty
four
lessons.
Then,
a
post-test
was
administered.
After
that,
the
scores
of
these
tests
were
compared
to
determine
the
effectiveness
of
project
work
technique
in
developing
reading
skill.
From
this
research
it
was
found
that
students
who
were
taught
through
project
work
technique
performed
better
than
the
students
who
were
taught
through
traditional
one.
The
findings
of
this
study
were
determined
on
the
basis
of
average
marks
obtained
by
the
students
and
differences
in
percentage.
This thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter one consists of brief introduction
to related area of the study. It includes general background, objectives,
literature review, and significance of the study. Chapter two deals with the
methodology and procedure adopted during the study. Chapter three consists of
analysis and interpretation of data on the basis of the average score obtained in
the pre-test and post-test between two groups under different headings. Chapter
four comprises findings and recommendations drawn on the basis of analysis
and interpretation of the data.
