Preschool may not be a place where formal education is imparted but yes, it
definitely is a place where children have their first taste of independence.
Preschool education is the provision of education for children before the
commencement of statutory education usually between the ages of 2 and 5. Thus
the purposes of the study were: to study the effectiveness of the audio-visual
intervention program on the language development of preschool children in
relation to their socio economic status. The researcher employed experimental
method to conduct the study. The sample consisted of 100 students from preschool
of Rohini, Delhi. Thus the total study consisted of 100 children of class L.K.G.,
besides, all (100) parents of the all sampled children covered under the
experimental and control groups were included in the sample so as to collect the
data related to their SES. The Language Development Test was developed by
investigator and Socio Economic Status standardized scale was used. The findings
of the study were: (i) the Audio-visual Intervention Program has also positively
affected the overall language development of the preschool children; and (ii) the
Audio-visual Intervention Program has not been found to be differently affecting
the language development of the preschool children at different SES levels. Hence,
in many ways the findings of the present study can be beneficial in strengthening
the non-formal preschool education component. It can be useful for the young
children, the teachers who handle the young children, teacher training institutions
and the policy makers as well.
