INTRODUCTION

ʺBehavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels or believes.ʺ

- IZ Quotes

Health is an essential factor for a happy contended life. Habits are influence the health

and behavior of the individual. Habit is an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed

until it has become almost involuntary.1

Mental health means the ability to balance feelings, distress, ambitions for idea in

once daily life and the ability to face and accept realities of life.2

Importance of good habit lays the fact that if we practice habit it will take form of

your character Bad habits are a patterned behavior regarded as detrimental to on physical

and mental health. This is often link lack of self control and psychological changes some

of them are consumption of tobacco (smoking), alcoholism, drug abuse etc.

Adolescence is the most important and sensitive period of one’s life. Adolescence

is the period between onset of puberty and cessation of physical growth and passage from

childhood to adulthood.

Adolescence (from Latin adolescere, meaning “to grow up”) is a transitional stage

of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from

puberty to legal adulthood. Adolescence is usually associated with the teenage years, but

its physical, psychological or cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later.3
 It is a period of multiple transitions involving education, training, employment

and unemployment, as well as transitions from one living circumstance to another.

Adolescence can be defined biologically, as the physical transition marked by the onset

of puberty and termination of physical growth; cognitively, as changes in the ability to

think abstractly and multi-dimensionally; or socially, as a period of preparation for adult

role.4

Adolescence, the period of transition from childhood to adulthood, is a decade

filled with profound and often confusing changes. In the current culture adolescent are

viewed as neither children nor adults. The decade of adolescence conceptualize as the

ages of 10 to 19 years normal behavior in adolescence depends on age, personality and

physical and emotional development. Adolescence behavior may be a problem if it does

not match the expectations of the family or if it is disruptive. Normal or good behavior is

usually determined whether it socially, culturally and developmentally appropriate.

Difficult behavior and academic concerns may develop secondary to medical problems,

behavior problems, delayed cognition and mood disorders.5

Adolescents are at risk for the development of problem behaviors that are

distressing and socially disruptive. Some problem behaviors, such as having multiple sex

partners, can result in problems for the individual and others. Thus, problem behaviors in

adolescents, their family friends, their schools and society. Nurses, often with great

access to adolescents and their parents through school settings, primary health care

offices and public health departments are well positioned to assess, educate and intervene

with adolescents, school personnel and parents.6

 Adolescents are usually dealing with pre-pubertal and pubertal changes, which make

them more aware of their own bodies and feelings, this is linked with a natural curiosity

and television is a common media mode and research indicates approximately 83% of

programming contains sex, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, crime, which leads

to many discussions with their peers, can promote the belief among them that early

smoking, alcohol, sex makes a person “look like an adult”. In the 21st century technology

has expanded the availability of information through various routes such as television,

music, movies, internet and magazines, these routes avail the adolescents to endless

learning venues about any issues that might be of interest to them.

The role of mass-media in affecting knowledge, attitude and behavior towards

health care may be thought of in terms of the following discussion. The mass media acts

either as a “change agent” or as a “reinforcing agent” that is, media may function in such

a way as to change knowledge, attitude and behavior or to confirm existing behavioral

pattern. In these respects the role of mass media in affecting knowledge, attitude and

behavior towards other products and services.

Children and adolescents begin watching television at a very early age sometimes as

early as six months and are intense viewers by the time that they are two or three years

old. The violence that is viewed is more important than the amount of television that is

viewed. The united state senate committee on juvenile delinquency held a series of

hearing during 1954-1955 on the impact of television programme on juvenile crime. In

most cases the amount of television viewing becomes greater with age and then tapes off

during adolescents. According to the world Health Organization smoking disease are set

to become a greater problem in developing countries than communicable disease and

malnutrition. Nearly 50,000 deaths annually are attributed tobacco and smoking in

adolescents age time as a mass media initiation.

Adolescence has often been construed as a difficult period in life, consisting of

storm and stress. The common disorders of adolescents according to their nature of

deviation from normal behavioral activities like habits, sleep, eating, sex, personality and

anti-social behavior of the adolescent.1

Adolescents engage in risk behaviours with negative health and behaviour

outcomes such as drug abuse, unwanted pregnancy, or sexually transmitted disease. Some

of the behavioural problems such as: (1) Substance abuse (tobacco, alcohol, and drugs);

(2) aggression; (3) sexually transmitted diseases; and (4) suicide are on the rise among

adolescent. There is a growing concern that teens need to be aware of interventions

available to them. However, there is little knowledge of adolescents' perceptions of these

problems.3

Although education can teach teens what support is available, teens will not seek

help if they, themselves, do not perceive a problem. More research is needed to survey

adolescent attitudes toward the various high-risk behaviours, as well as to determine how

to promote help-seeking behaviours and positive youth. Adolescence is a crucial time in

the development of both peer relationships and violent and aggressive behavior. Given

the shared salience of peers and deviant behavior in adolescence, it is important to

discover how these two developmental phenomena interact and affect each other.5

Adolescence has often been considered as a difficult period in life, consisting of

storm and stress. It has been termed as period of great risk to help the development. There
was no significant difference between adolescents and adults, indicating that adults and

teens operate on similarly biased psychological processing, with the tendency to see

themselves as more invulnerably than others. A few of the problems that place

adolescence at risk today are listed below. The common behavior problems of adolescent

are substance abuse, violence, sexually transmitted diseases etc. which carries serious

consequences, causing 50% of deaths in youth age 15 to 20 years age.6

Tobacco is known to be the only legal consumer product that can cause harm to

everyone exposed to it and kills most of those who use it as intended. Tobacco is also

considered as the single most preventable cause of death in the world. The use of tobacco

is widespread due to low prices, strong marketing, lack of education about its negative

effects and poor public policies against its use.7

According to WHO expert committee adolescence is defined a period between

10-19 year, means of second decade of life and during which a child goes through

tremendous physical emotional and social changes. Physical and psychological charters

tics of adolescence and nature of development task and perform often face certain

challenges and problem for adjustment .most common society related problem are gender

bias , cast generation gap ,depressive atmosphere ,over expectation and lack of friends etc

,the more serious problem include drug addiction like smoking abuse.

Worldwide opinion says “smoking is injurious to health” it is positively injurious

in many ways to the smoker. Smoking is the inhalation of smoke of burning tobacco

encased in cigarette, pipes and cigars. Smoking habit is a physical addiction to tobacco

product. Smoking cigarettes affects the smokers and nonsmokers equally to over 400
chemicals of tobacco products, many of which are toxic in nature, they are Tar, Hydrogen

cyanide, Benzene, acetone, Formaldehyde, Ammonia, Carbon monoxide and nicotine.

People close to a smoker can also experience dangerous effects of tobacco smoke due to

inhalation of second hand smoke and they are considered as passive smokers.8

Harmful health effect of smoking cigarette in teenagers are attracted by the

smoking style which tempt them to smoke just once, adverse effect of smoking to affect

psychological development, behavior and also nicotine is a chemical in tobacco that

cause addition. Tobacco/cigarette use is major preventive cause for death in many part of

the world today most of the regular smoker initiate smoking habit in their adolescence

period of life.

At present violence is also a leading problem in adolescence. Violence may be a

learned response to achieve an end, or it may be habitual, reflexive way of dealing with

stressful environment. Suicide remains a significant public health problem causing,

almost half of all violent deaths resulting in roughly one million fatalities every year.

Globally rates vary from region to region, which indicates that social economic, cultural,

political and geographical factors play a major role in suicide ideation and behaviors. 7

Aggression can be Reactive relational aggression and Instrumental relational

aggression. Reactive relational aggression (hostile, affective, retaliatory) is used in

response to feeling attacked, threatened, or mad. Usually the person who exhibits this

type of aggression feels provoked to do so. Instrumental relational aggression (predatory,

goal-oriented) is used in order for an individual to get what they want.1 Psychologist say,

aggression refers to behavior between members of the same species that is intended to
cause humiliation, pain, or harm, antisocial behavior, depression, anxiety, dissociation,

and other trauma-related symptoms as well as problems in emotion regulation. According

to Sociologists, many people view aggressive behavior as social outcasts. (2)

Sexually transmitted diseases are caused by infections that are passed from one

person to another during sexual contact. There are many kinds of sexually transmitted

diseases and infections. STD can affect guys and girls of all ages and backgrounds who

are having un protected sex- it does not matter if they are rich or poor. STDs also called

sexually transmitted diseases have become common among teens.7

Adolescence is an amazing period of growth spanning the ages of 12-24 years old.

Youth enter this developmental stage with the body and mind of a child, and then exit 10-

12 years later, with the body and mind of an adult. It examined the physical, cognitive,

emotional, social, moral and sexual dimensions of adolescent development.

The term ‘suicide’ in itself evokes direct reference to violence and aggressiveness.

Apparently, Sir Thomas Browne was the first to coin the word ‘suicide.’ A physician and

a philosopher, Browne, based the word on the Latin ‘sui’ (of oneself) and ‘caedere’ (to

kill). A well-known definition of suicide is the one that appears in the 1973 edition of the

Encyclopaedia Britannica, quoted by Shneidman, “the human act of self-inflicting one’s

own life cessation”.9

Many factors could lead adolescents to commit deliberate self-harm (DSH). Some

of the commonly reported issues are failure in examinations, break- ups in relationship,

family discord, sexual abuse etc. Adolescents who are addicted to alcohol and other

substances are at a greater risk of suicide. Many studies report that India has the highest
rate of adolescent suicides. A longitudinal study conducted by CMC, Vellore, noted that

suicide accounts for one-half to three-quarters of all deaths in adolescent girls and a

quarter of deaths in adolescent boys in south India.10

In recent years there have been increasing concerns and research in to suicidal

behaviours among adolescents. These concerns have been motivated by international

evidence that has suggested rising rates of suicide in adolescent populations in many

countries including the United States, Great Britain, and Australia. One issue raised by

this research has concerned the relationship that exists between suicidal thoughts or

ideation and suicidal behaviours. “Improving the health choices and opportunities of

adolescents essentially means contributing to the health and energy of societies” says Gro

Harlem Brundtland, WHO’s Director General.11

Parents are the significant group, who can monitor, evaluate and mentor

adolescents. If there is any behaviour change observed, parents can help this group by

providing love, affection, care and concern, and hold their hands to lead a successful life

in the stressful period, without letting the dreams unfulfilled, the goals unachieved and

the journey unreached.

In conclusion, adolescent youth experience monumental changes in every single

aspect of their lives as they make the transition from childhood into adulthood. This

provides the parents and other care givers the foundational information needed to

recognize and to appreciate the normal developmental progression of adolescents.

NEED FOR THE STUDY
“A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never

light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame”.

- Rabindranath Tagore

Behavior problems in which the symptoms usually first become evident during

the infancy, childhood or adolescence. Many mental health disorders begin in

adolescence. If they are undiagnosed and untreated they continue into adulthood, often

becoming chronic illness.12

Globally the prevalence rate of behavior problems varied from 5% - 51%. In the

Indian studies prevalence rate varied from 13 per 1000 to 431 per 1000. Analysis at out-

patients department revealed behavior problems in the range of 3.36% to 50%. Single

parenting and violence have been associated with beginning for the grown up ones.

Studies from India have revealed the prevalence rates to be 12.5% in 11-16 yrs

community based sample from Bangalore; 9.4% in 12-14 yrs olds from a community

sample in Kerala and 6.3% in 10-15 yrs old youth in Chandigarh.13

In America 17% to 22% of adolescents are suffering from behavioral problems.

Of this 12% of the youth under age 18 have undiagnosable mental illness. The most

frequent diagnoses were conduct disorders i.e 6% -16% in males and 2%- 9% in

females, substance abuse is about 70% to 90% in males and 50% to 60% in females and

80% constitutes of violence.14

In Japan the rate of externalizing behavioral problems is more that is 75.4% and

substance use problem is 95.7% among delinquent youth. These behavioral problems and
substance use problems is higher in urban delinquent youth when comparing to rural

communities.15

WHO’s 10 facts of adolescent health, it shows that mental illness is one of the

problems faced by young people. At least 20% of young people experience some form of

mental illness - such as depression, aggressive behavior, violence, mood disturbances,

substance abuse, suicidal behaviors or eating disorders.

India is the second most populous country in the world with total population of

over 1081 million. Adolescents (10-19 years) form a large section of population about

22.5% of the total population. The total population of young people (10 – 24 years) is

approximately 331 million comprising nearly 30 percent of the total population of India

(Census 2001). Adolescence is a phase of rapid physical growth, psychosocial

development and sexual transformation. Adolescents are full of energy, have significant

drive and new ideas. The adolescents do have a range of health problems that cause a lot

of morbidity as well as definite mortality. Among that substance abuse plays a vital role.

According to the Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use

Survey (SALSUS) 2006, 9% of 13-year-olds and over a quarter (27%) of 15-year olds

reported that they had used an illicit drug at some point in their lives. Seven percent of

13-year olds and 23% of 15-year olds reported that they had used an illicit drug in the

year prior to the survey; 4% of 13-year olds and 14% of 15-year olds reported that they

had abused an illegal drug in the month prior to the survey which is perhaps indicative of

more frequent recreational drug use.16

 The vulnerability of the modern society plays a catalytic role in promoting the

consumption and abuse of narcotic and psychotropic drugs. With this, the need arose for

implementing strategies for prevention of behavioural problems and educating the people

about its ill effects. Therefore, the approach is to recognise substance abuse as a psycho-

socio medical problem. For this we have to utilise the various media channels, print as

well as audiovisual, for educating people on the ill effects of substance abuse. The

empowerment of society through sensitisation and awareness is the only solution to

prevent drug trafficking and behavioural problems.17

Recently published studies show that thousands of assaults occur in American

Hospitals each year. The mental health sector and emergency departments are becoming

serious occupational hazard sites. It is well documented that mental health workers are at

an increased risk of experiencing work-related violence, and studies conducted onboard

certified psychiatrists have shown that there is a 5% to 48% chance of being physically

assaulted by a patient during their careers. Surveys conducted on psychiatry residents

have found that assaults are twice as high among psychiatry residents as among medical

residents. From the review of literature and personal experience of the researcher felt that

there was a need to conduct a study on the management program of aggression patients

to suggest the steps to be taken in order to prevent or minimize the aggression among the

nurses in the hospital.

Adolescents are the future citizens of nation. Adolescent’s health play an

important role in building the nation’s economy. Nearly a quarter of today’s populations

are adolescents aged 10-24 years numbering more than 1.8 billion. One in every five

people in the world is an adolescent and 85% in developing countries.

 About one-fifth of India’s population is in the adolescent age group of 10–19

years. It is estimated that there are almost 200 million adolescents in India. It is expected

that this age group will continue to grow reaching over 214 million by 2020. However,

growth for this age group will peak at 223 million in 2015 and will then slow. In

Karnataka 21 percent of the state population are adolescents out of 6.11 crore population.

Promoting mental health, and responding to problems if they arise, requires a

range of adolescent-friendly health care and counseling services in communities.

Interventions that address their needs can save lives and foster a new generation of

productive adults who can help their community’s progress. (6)

Beside physical change, the adolescent are on course for adulthood. In other word

this period is the foundation stone of their lifestyle. Since 1950s, the incidence of suicide

among adolescent and young adults had nearly tripled. Suicide is now the second leading

cause of death among young people, aged 15-24 years, following the motor vehicle

crashes and homicide.18

Milton et al.13 note that prevalence of quitting is lower among young smokers

than adults. Youth quit attempts are rarely planned, and they tend to use unassisted rather

than assisted quit methods.13 Research indicates that youth are not attracted to adult

appropriate cessation programming, making the need for youth-relevant interventions all

the more necessary. Finally, lack of awareness or access to cessation services, lack of

interest in participating in interventions and concerns over whether available services will

understand and address young people’s needs pose barriers to accessing cessation

programs or services by youth.19

 The peer-reviewed and grey literature regarding various effective and promising

interventions aimed at helping youth quit smoking and key factors to determine the

success of such interventions.20

A study conducted on aggressiveness and life satisfaction among women

experiencing domestic violence and concluded that the group of women who experience

domestic violence had high aggressiveness and poor life satisfaction as compare to the

other group of women.21

A study conducted on aggression, life satisfaction, depression and well being in

rural and urban teenage boys and found that urban boys are significantly higher on

aggression as compared to rural boys.

Research investigated the relationship between television viewing time, content,

context, and peer integration. As children spend more total time watching television, they

spend a significantly shorter amount of time with friends as compared to those who don’t,

thus viewing television causes poor peer relationships and thereby increases the risk for

social isolation, anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and antisocial behaviour including

aggression and gang involvement. More time children spent watching television, the less

time they spent with their families, which television may isolate children, the reverse

casual direction is also plausible – lonely children may turn to television for

entertainment and companionship. Watching television is often perceived as an isolating

activity, it frequently occurs in the company of friends’ becaused socialization builds

interpersonal skills, television viewing with friends may provide a venue for those skills

to develop.
 Research showed that more frequently children view horror and violent films

during childhood and the more frequently they play violent electronic games at the

beginning of adolescents, the higher will these students violence and delinquency be at

the age of 14.

In Canada the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems is less in the age

group between10 and 14, and more in 15 to 20 years of age. Over 50% of youth between

15 and 20 endorse one of 5 categories of behavioral problems. Over 40% of the children

with problems had co morbid categories of problem such as depression, anxiety,

hyperactivity etc.22

The exploratory population study was to investigate the association of different

risk factors in early adolescence with the development of suicidal thoughts 4 years later

reveals that girls, individuals with high levels of anxiety and depression, inattentiveness,

conduct problems, and alcohol-intoxications at baseline would be at increased risk of

suicidal thoughts at follow-up.23

Suicidal behavior is the end result of a complex interaction of psychiatric, social

and familial factors. There are far more suicidal attempts and gestures than actual

completed suicides. One epidemiological study estimated that there were 23 suicidal

gestures and attempts for every completed suicide. However, it is important to pay close

attention to those who make attempts. 10% of those who attempted suicide went on to a

later completed suicide. A suicide has a powerful effect on the individual’s family, school

and community. We must deal with it as a public health crisis in our schools, clinics and

doctors’ offices.24
 Although all suicides are distressing, there is something about adolescent suicide,

which is particularly disturbing. Adolescents are seen as full of promise and potential,

and an unexpected death is perceived as an especially tragic waste. In addition, the

adolescents need more care from adults; an adolescent’s suicide creates a special guilt

and anguish among the parents. (5)

According to WHO, suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens and

second leading cause of death in colleges. For every suicide completion, there are

between 50 and 200 attempts. According to centre for disease control (CDC) Youth Risk

Survey, 8.5% of students in grades 9-12 reported a suicide attempt in the past year, 25%

of high-school students reported suicide ideation. The suicide attempt rate is increasing

for youths ages 10-14. Suicide has the same risk and protective factors as other problem

behaviours, such as drugs, violence, and risky sexual activities. A recent survey of high-

school students found that almost 1 in 5 had seriously considered suicide; more than 1 in

6 had made plans to attempt suicide; and more than 1 in 12 had made a suicide attempt in

the past year.25

A descriptive survey was conducted to assess the prevalence and associated

factors of suicidal ideation among 1197 school-going adolescents, in Guyana, Africa. The

samples were selected by random sampling. The instrument used was structured

knowledge questionnaire and adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire. The study revealed

that 18.4% (42.3% males and 57.7% females) reported having seriously considered

committing suicide in the past 12 months. Males were less likely to seriously consider

committing suicide than females (OR=0.45; 95%). History of depression was positively
associated with suicidal ideations (OR=2.67; 95%) while, having close friends and

understanding parents were negatively associated with suicide ideation.26

The study result showed that about 15.8% of students reported having thought of

attempting suicide, while (5.1%) had actually attempted suicide, both being more in

adolescent females than in males. Statistically significant associations were observed

with the age of the student, living status of parents, working status of mother and whether

the student was working part time ( p<.0001) . It is quite possible to reduce the rate

greatly by observing the warning signs and taking appropriate actions. This will be made

more possible by teachers and parents, if they have adequate knowledge on the

recognition of the warning signs of suicide. and taking appropriate actions. This will be

made more possible by teachers and parents, if they have adequate knowledge on the

recognition of the warning signs of suicide.27

To indicate the students’ knowledge about STD’s, a question regarding since sex

causes sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) and would they change their sexual

practices to avoid contracting STD’s demonstrated that: 51% would not consider

abstinence to avoid STI’s. The true and false answers regarding their knowledge of

particular STI’s, such as Chlamydia, human papilloma virus (HPV), genital herpes, and

HIV were answered with over 80% correctly, although 31.9% did not know that

untreated Chlamydia could caused female infertility. 14.3% answered that they have been

treated for an STD. The females had a 12.5% rate of unintended pregnancy. 42% would

not rate themselves as being very knowledgeable about sexually transmitted infections,

which is a significant amount who admit to a lack of knowledge about STD’s.

 This systematic review in order to determine awareness and knowledge of school-

going adolescents in Europe on sexually transmitted diseases revealed that low levels of

knowledge and awareness of sexually transmitted diseases, with the exception of

HIV/AIDS. Although, as shown by some of the findings on condom use, Knowledge

does not always translate into behavior change, Adolescents sex education is important

for STD prevention and the school setting plays an important role.28

Mass media initiation of sexual intercourse by younger adolescents is associated

with risky sexual behaviours and increased risk of multiple sex partners, unwanted

pregnancy, sexually transmitted infection. In the United States approximately 47% of

high school students have had sexual intercourse, of them 7.4% report having sex before

the age of 13 and 14% have had more than 4 sexual partners. Adolescents exposure to

sexual content in the mass media, in India there are reports of messaging of sexual

content through mobiles among school going adolescents.

Interpersonal violence, as victim or as perpetrator, is now a more prevalent health

risk than infectious disease, cancer, or congenital disorders for children, adolescents, and

young adults. Homicide, suicide, and trauma are leading causes of mortality in the

pediatric population, resulting In cumulative death rates of 22.8 per 100 000 in those 5 to

14 years of age and 114.4 per 100 000 in Those 15 to 21 years of age.68 Among urban

youth, interpersonal violence is the most prevalent cause of injury (33%), and the

incidence of gunshot wounds has increased dramatically in the past decade.69 Gun

violence is now a leading killer of children and adolescents.70,71 Each year,

3500 adolescents are murdered72 and more than 150 000 adolescents are arrested for

violent crimes. 73 The number of murderers 15 to 17 years of age increased by 195%

between 1984 and 1994, when 94% of juveniles arrested for murder were male and 59%

were black.74 The murder rate of young black males rose 300% during the 3 decades

after television's introduction in the United States.75 Although exposure to media

violence is not the sole factor contributing to aggression, antisocial attitudes, and violence

among children and adolescents.

The investigator decided to conduct a survey of 100 teacher educators from

government, aided and unaided B.Ed colleges across Mysuru. Teaching competency skill

includes knowledge, understanding, application and skill. Teachers’ competencies should

be redefined when it is needed. A questionnaire on teacher educator’s perspective on 2

years B.Ed. programme and teachers’ competency skill is administered to collect data

regarding this. The responses of these teachers will be analysed quantitatively by

calculating the percentage of the respondents. Later this response will be analysed

qualitatively also. Finally, the paper discusses the teacher’s perspectives and outlines the

advantage and disadvantages of NCTE norms making B.Ed as a twoyear course in

Karnataka and the teaching competency skill of the teachers for two year B.Ed course

was also redefined.29

By considering the above article/ journal/ study/ report that there is a string need

of knowledge regarding positive and negative effects of mass media among adolescents.

The role of mass media plays important role in adolescents physical, mental, social

wellbeing to develop a good habits utilize the mass media in good manner.30

Task that should be accomplished during adolescence include achieving new and

more mature relations with age mates of both genders, achieving masculine or feminine
social roles, accepting physical build and using the body effectively etc. There is a

growing expectation that teachers should not only act as educators by delivering the

national curriculum, but also more involved as tier one mental health professionals.

Teacher plays a major role in accomplishing this task in adolescence. If they are having

any behavior problems they can meet their task.

The results showed that there is low correlation between emotional intelligence

and teaching competency of standard teachers. The relationship between E I and teaching

competency was noted to be a significant low correlation.

The findings show that status of students for scholarship, extracurricular

activities, parents education , age, previous result and university they study in have a

significant influence on perception about quality of higher education.

The result displayed that releptive and honest relationship between teachers and

students, the dominance of teachers self regulative model for students, teachers

satisfactors effort in order to clarify educational materials, respect, and acceptance

forward students, as well as family success cause the increase of the students self

regulative behaviour.

The study revelaed that, majority of teacher educators strongly beleived that

preparation of lesson plan, writing objectives of the lesson and sharing these with

srudents, orienting the students with lesson, student centered approach for teaching are

important for a teacher.

Teachers are the main pillars of a sound and progressive society. They bear the

weight and responsibility of teaching and apart from parents are the main source of
knowledge and values for students. The teacher’s personality affects student’s behaviour,

their relations with each other and their attitude towards learning. Effective teaching

involves through planning and organization of learning materials, interesting and

challenging presentation, teaching methods that are suitable for the students in the class

and good techniques of classroom management. Teachers are respected by society

because they know about different subjects. Moreover, teachers have the qualities to

become a successful person.

The role of a teacher in molding a student is very much there and in fact a student

spends more time with a teacher identifies the potential of a student and nurtures them

with their kind of thinking level. A teacher has a huge responsibility. The success of the

each student is said to be success of a teacher. A teacher must ensure that personality of

each student is developing. They must ensure that each and every students should

participate in the activities. If a student hesitates in participating in activities, it is a duty

of the teacher to encourage the student. Doing this will help in building the confidence of

the students. This way, personality of each student will grow and 100 percent growth of

students will be the true success of the teacher.

Proper information management and prevention of behavioral problems to the

students helps them to identify their problems in the earliest stage and also they can guide

or help them in proper interventions or treatment. So investigator has felt the need for

providing structured teaching programme which will helps to identify and to handle

common behavioral problems among adolescence to provide sufficient information to the

target group.
