It aims to illuminate the views of teenagers with ADHD on sports and anxiety while providing information on the functions played by parents, neighbors, and society in their lives. The study used a qualitative, descriptive, and case study methods with six participants (three male and three females) who were all WICA (Wasim International Cricket Academy) players during weekend program, through non-formal education, who had their symptoms of anxiety evaluated. Data collection included in-depth interviews conducted by the researcher, focusing on adolescents with ADHD experiencing high levels of anxiety. Results revealed that leisure activities reduced symptoms of anxiety in five of the sample, out of six adolescents during weekend program. This study lays the groundwork for further investigations in the field and emphasizes the importance of addressing the needs of adolescents in society.</p> 2024-02-15T00:00:00+05:00 Copyright (c) 2024 IJLTP https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/ijltp/article/view/1665 EFFECTS OF RECIPROCAL LITERACY TEACHING ON STUDENTS’ RETENTION 2023-11-17T06:27:46+05:00 Iram Naz,Samreen iram6710@gmail.com <p>Reciprocal literacy teaching (RLT) takes place as an educational activity that involves a discussion between the teacher and the students through which the challenges of low-attention and less-comprehension ability are met successfully. The purpose of the study was to determine how reciprocal literacy teaching (RLT) affects secondary school students' retention of physics knowledge. Four strategies predicting, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing were used in rotation in this strategy. Two groups were included in the quasi-experimental design that was utilized for this objective. While the control group received standard therapy, the experimental group had an unusual course of RLT. 118 pupils from four secondary schools for girls were chosen as a sample, out of the 12696 girls<br />enrolled in 38 Girls High Schools in Tehsil Nowshera. A retention test was administered after one month of the achievement test. The experimental and control groups were delayed-tested, and inferential statistics such as the t-test, and descriptive statistics were used to determine the significance<br />of RLT by comparing the two groups. While substantial differences between the experimental and control groups were noted and discovered that the inclusion of RLT had more impact on students' growth of retention than the previous therapy. The implementation of the RLT-method was<br />strongly advised for improving student retention. Pre and Post training for teachers may be provided to integrate RLT into the classroom setting.</p> 2024-02-15T00:00:00+05:00 Copyright (c) 2024 IJLTP https://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/ijltp/article/view/1664 EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE-BASED TEACHING ON ENHANCING SCIENCE LITERACY CONCEPTS 2023-11-03T06:24:34+05:00 Ali Zaman alinsr1944@gmail.com <p>The foremost purpose of this study was to find the effect of multiple intelligence-based teaching on the performance of low achievers in science at&nbsp;middle level. Population of the study was 90 Middle and Secondary Male Schools of District Nowshera, 60 Male students were sample of the study. Study was proceeded using quasi experimental design; involved two groups and it was pre and post tested. One group was called experimental group received an unusual treatment of Multiple intelligence based teaching and other was control group received usual treatment. t-test was used as inferential statistics to compare the means of two groups. It was found that method of multiple intelligence-based teaching when compared, was found better than traditional method.&nbsp;It was recommended that unusual treatment may be implemented in science at middle level to raise the performance of low achievers and teachers may be trained accordingly.</p> 2024-02-16T00:00:00+05:00 Copyright (c) 2024 IJLTP
