The National Achievement Survey (NAS) found that the majority of the States/UTs are performing below the overall average score in all subject areas, and highlights the need for significant improvement in learning levels. Low achievement largely because of low conceptual clarity and understanding in the subjects/themes tested. A further stress is given to identify the content area and skills requiring attention and to develop appropriate strategies to enable students to understand the concepts. Teachers training (pre-service and in-service) programmes might be redesigned on the basis of NAS findings to improve pedagogical aspects, and also Teacher education. The present investigation was undertaken to study ‘The the Perception level of Elementary Teachers on Effectiveness of the DIETs Programmes with respect to Elementary Teachers Experience, sex, age and Qualifications.

The Effectiveness of the DIETs Programmes (EDP) scale was developed and used by Rajanna SP and Dr.HaseenTaj. In order to understand the distribution of the scores Percentile was worked out.
