ABSTRACT
The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of attention and concentration enhancement activities among school age children studying in Vasavi English Medium School at Hassan. The enhancement activities to children were very effective in improving their attention and concentration when compared to pre-test as evidenced by the result of post-test level scores. The research design adopted for study was pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consists of the 30 school age children studying in VEM School at Hassan. The data gathered was analyzed by using Chi-Square test and paired “t” test. Overall pre-test and post-test mean score was 60.60 and 75.87 respectively. The ‘t’ value was 7.95, shows that there is a significant increase in the level of attention and concentration after conducting the attention and concentration enhancement activities. The x2 = 5 values shows that there is significant association between the pre-test level of attention and concentration and their socio demographic variables of the gender of the children. Children had a remarkable increase in the level of attention and concentration after attending the enhancements activities, when compared to their previous level of attention and concentration.
