Abstract

This research entitled "The Effectiveness of Teaching Action Verbs Through Pinmen Picture" is an attempt to find out the effectiveness of pinmen pictures in teaching action verbs. This study is an experimental research in nature. The researcher selected Shree Sharada Higher Secondary School through purposive non- random sampling procedure for data collection. To fulfil the objectives, the researcher used the non-random sampling procedure for selecting the sample population. He administered pre-test after getting the approval from the concerned person in grade three. He taught at grade three by dividing the students into two groups for 25 days, and administered post-test in order to find out the progress of the students from the pre-test, and the difference between two groups, in the post- test, which are presented by using different tables. It has been found that, the achievement of the Experimental Group is better than the Controlled Group in the post-test, in terms of Intra-Itemswise, Inter-Itemwise, Holistic, Groupwise and Genderwise items in general. The major findings of this research study were that the girls students of both groups have obtained greater scores than their boy counterparts. Within girl students, the girls of group A had scored more marks than the girls of group B. Similarly, the use of pinmen pictures seems more useful and appropriate in teaching true and false, recognize the activities, matching and short answer rather than the rest ones such as rearrange the letters pick out and put on etc. The thesis has four chapters.
