Abstract

Life Skill provides an individual with the courage and strength to tackle their day-to-day challenges. This in turn allows them to live life with a positive and responsible attitude and therefore tends to be one of the essential elements for a happy and peaceful life. As teachers are the backbone of our education system, therefore, it is not only crucial but rather critical in the current time that every teacher should be trained not only in their teaching skill but also in life skills. Life skills are an important attribute to everyone’s personal and professional life. It seems to play a major role in the teaching profession. Knowledge of different life skills allows teachers to upgrade and enhance their teaching skills. According to WHO life skills have been defined as “the abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enables individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life”. In this paper, ten life skills, as suggested by WHO i.e Self-awareness skill, Interpersonal skill, Effective Communication skill, Problem Solving, Decision Making, Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Coping with Stress, Coping with Emotion, and Empathy, are explored in pupil teachers studying B.Ed colleges and their correlation with teaching effectiveness. The Descriptive Survey method is used to collect data by using a five-point rating scale of life skills tool and Pearson’s correlation method is used to find out the correlation between life skills and Teaching Effectiveness. The random Cluster method of sampling is used for a sample of 100 Pupil teachers of two B.Ed colleges of Ghaziabad district affiliated to C.C.S. University Meerut. The result of the analysis shows a high positive correlation between different life skills and Teaching Effectiveness.
