Abstract
Developmental readiness is globally recognised as a significant component of school readiness. It is a measure of a child’s physical, cognitive and socio-emotional preparedness to succeed in formal schooling. Thus, teachers’ knowledge allows them to expand various skills of developmental readiness among children. The purpose of this study was to analyse the knowledge of teachers regarding developmental readiness of children for formal schooling. The study was conducted on a sample of 100 teachers (i.e. 50 rural and 50 urban) teaching class-I. Self-structured teacher’s knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of teachers. Frequency, Z-test and correlation were used for analysis of results. The overall findings of the study indicated that urban teachers had better knowledge than rural teachers. Rural and urban teachers with regular degree had better knowledge than their counterparts with correspondence degree. The correlation analysis showed a positive and significant relationship of educational qualification as well as teaching experience with knowledge of the teachers which concluded that more the educational qualification and teaching experience of the teachers, better was the knowledge regarding developmental readiness in young children.
