By: Dr. D. Dutta Roy * |
Dear Sir, It is my pleasure to draw your kind attention to the recently finished research report on primary education of Manipur. I would be glad if you draw others attention to this report. I need others observation on this report. Please click below to see the report. http://www.isical.ac.in/~psy/rwtm.pdf Here is an Abstract from the study: Reading and Writing motive preferences play critical role in the universal education policy of the Govt. of India. It enhances motivation to attend the schools and reduces dropout level. Prior studies noted significant relationship between reading and writing motivation and academic achievement. One of the important social objective of education is to equalize opportunity. It enables the backward or under privilege classes or individuals to use education as a lever for the improvement of their condition. Tripura and Manipur – two north eastern states of India possess literacy rates which are above the national average. Again illiteracy and dropout rates among the scheduled tribe students of both states are also very high. This contradiction complicates the issue of understanding about reading and writing motivation of ST students in primary education of both states. On this background, current study aimed at two objectives – (a) to examine pattern of relative preferences to Reading and Writing motives of students in primary education across different tribal communities of Tripura and Manipur, (b) to explore effect of some situational variables and student characteristics on changes in relative preferences to reading and writing motives of students in primary education across different tribal communities of Tripura and Manipur. Data were collected through Reading and Writing motivation questionnaire (Dutta Roy, 2003) from scheduled tribe students of Tripura (N=275) and Manipur (N=284) living in different hill districts. Results revealed significant mean differences in reading and writing motive preferences across communities, between states, genders and between grades. Besides, interaction effects of those independent variables on dependent variables were found. Significant relationships of reading and writing motive preferences with age and situational variables across communities were found. Limitations, future research and some suggestions to improve the current state of reading and writing motivation of students were finally illuminated. With regards, Dr. D.
