Life skills among the disabled students at elementary level in West Bengal
Abstract
Life skill, when being considered from a certain point of view, became an inevitable requirement to every single individual for a healthy and peaceful social life. Maintaining one’s own well-being is not the sole purpose of life skills anymore, rather it is a collective competency towards sustainable development of the society. Students, especially with disabilities, are the promising members of our society and thereby need to be equipped with different life skills at various stages of their life development. At the elementary level of education, to see the reflections of different life skills in their day-to-day life are on the focus in the present study. A total of 70 students were administered with the Life Skill Assessment Scale for the purpose of study. In general, female students were found to be more competent in applying life skills than male students which is statistically significant. Also, statistically insignificant differences were found between different group of students in terms of family type and caste which pointed towards the fact that in general, life skills are absolutely learned and not dependent on various demographic factors of social life which were accounted in the study.
