Abstract

This study investigates the effect of life skill training on the self-efficacy of institutionalized children and the post-experimental evaluation of one group only. In this study, 40 institutionalized children in 10th grade were selected. Tools: The self-efficacy tool developed by Mathur & Bhatnagar was used. After 5 weeks of treatment, the group received life skills training consisting of two sessions per week, each lasting 45 minutes. Following treatment, a post-test was administered to determine if life skills training increased the self-confidence of the institutionalized children. Results: Life skills training significantly increased the self-confidence of institutionalized children. Thus, life skills training is significantly effective
