Fig.4.13 Percentage distribution of pre-test and post?test score of students. The table 4.13 and Figure 4.13 depicts that in pre-test 3(50%) students have inadequate knowledge, 36(60%) students has moderate knowledge, 11 (70%) students has adequate knowledge.

Hence it shows that Planned structural Teaching programme is effective in improving knowledge regarding road traffic rules among middle school children. Hence the hypothesis H1 is accepted. The above table 4.14 and Figure 4.14 show the pre-test mean value is 17.6 and the post test value is 0.728 and the calculated ?t' test value 4.93 is greater than that of the table valve (3.37).
