    INTRODUCTION

    “Education is the manifestation perfection already in Man”

    – Swami Vivekananda.

    Nursing wisdom as many things both abstract and concrete. This can make the concept and shows how it is to

    used in nursing education and nursing practice. Referring on how we learn and process including information is key to the

    process. The pathway to excellence in nursing wisdom is comparative study in which expert slowly can occur to the point

    where it is able to main with very little effort by learning through new statutory like problem based learning and concept

    mapping.

    Background of the Study

    The Traditional method of teaching consists mainly of giving lecture by the instructor and expecting students to

    be cognitively active but physically inactive, except for note taking. Most students of any age cannot maintain such

    behavior for a long period of time Cangelosi (2003).One aspect of the Traditional method of teaching is that it has a

    tendency to view students as passive learners (Steinhorst and Keeler, 1995) because it does not engage them actively.

    There is ample evidence that the current status of teaching nursing at all levels is not satisfactory. Nursing educators,

    researchers, and administrators have been calling for and demanding drastic changes in the way Nursing educator is being

    taught and learned. Problem solving and Concept mapping is an study procedure to activate and elaborate on prior

    knowledge on behavior therapy. The study is to use concept mapping and problem solving in behavioral therapy, both

    learning have parallel purposes, both based on constructive view of learning. In faculty of nursing both problem solving

    learning and concept mapping have been applied together as main learning modes in learning behavioral therapy

    Need for the Study 

    Class room teaching mostly depends upon lecture method which places students in a passive rather than in active

    role, passivity probably hinders teaching, it encourages one way communication therefore, lecture must take a conscious

    effort to became aware of inculcating different strategies in teaching One of the main goals in nursing education is to

    promote and anyone adequate critical thinking skills in our nursing students beyond this various teaching and learning

    strategies to ensure good accomplishment located to learning in behavioral therapy, making association between concept

    mapping and problem solving methods are fantastic method for teaching, to induce critical thinking in nursing students.

    Learning styles influences knowledge retain lecture method 10% knowledge in students reading method retain 20%

    knowledge in students Audio visual method retains 30% knowledge in students, demonstration method retain 50%

    knowledge in students discussion group method retain 75% knowledge, in by doing retains 80% knowledge in students

    teaching others retain 90% knowledge in students immediate application in situation retain 90% knowledge in students.

    DISCUSSIONS

    This discussion is based on the objectives specified in the studies.

    The First Objective of the Study is to Asses the Pretest Level of Knowledge in Both Group Regarding

    Behavioral Therapy: study to asses on Indian nursing students' changing levels of knowledge on behavior therapy during

    their pre-registration programmed Aim: To ascertain nursing students' perceived levels of knowledge on behavior therapy

    prior to, and nearing the completion of, their third-year pre-registration programmer. Methods: The students commencing

    general nurse education programmers in two schools in Southern India agreed to take part (n=72). A questionnaire adapted

    from a number of scales, and tested for validity and reliability in this population, was used to collect data. Results: In

    general, students' reported level of knowledge on behavior therapy rose as they approached completion of their third year

    education program me.

    To Asses the Post Test Level of Knowledge in Both Group Regarding Behavioral Therapy: Conducted a

    study on Relationship between contrived in concept mapping and Problem solving on behavior therapy. In post test most of

    the students 95% were Used a 2 (concept mapping) x 2 (problem solving) design to investigate the external validity. The

    Conflict Resolution Inventory was used as the selection device. Results indicated a positive relationship between problem

    solving and concept mapping method of teaching. They also indicated that self-report scores were not predictive of

    behavior in the contrived in vivo condition; moreover, knowledge on behavior therapy was enhanced in the problem

    solving and concept map method of teaching, while the converse occurred in the contrived in vivo condition. The results

    indicate that generalizations to more naturalistic settings like problem solving and concept mapping method of teaching

    based upon scores must be made with caution. 

    To Determine the Effectiveness of Concept Mapping on Level of Knowledge of Regarding Behavior

    Therapy: A study on Evaluation of an concept mapping method of teaching on behavior therapy program on nursing and

    medical students' behavior therapy, self-esteem, and interpersonal communication satisfaction. Aim: To evaluate the effect

    of an knowledge level on behavior therapy training program on nursing and medical student Methods: Using a longitudinal

    research design using scale assessing knowledge on behavior therapy. Inventory. Results:. The knowledge on behavior

    therapy of the experimental group were significantly improved in nursing and medical students after concept mapping

    problem solving method of teaching on self-evaluation of improved knowledge on behavior therapy. Aim: of the study is to

    investigate the "differential effect of role-playing enactments" hypothesis through self-evaluations of improvement inbehavior therapy by participants in an assertive training program. Methods: Twenty-two nonassertive Israeli students were

    trained in two groups: mimetic-replications (action modeling, n = 12) and spontaneous (self-produced action, n = 10) role-

    playing interventions. Results: Comparisons of their scores on the Self-Expression College Scale (CSES) before and after

    the training showed that both groups significantly improved their self-evaluations, but the mimetic-replication group did

    better. In particular, this group scored significantly higher on the CSES first factor (the willingness to take risks in

    situations that involved other, significant persons).

    To Compare the Effectiveness of Problem Solving Vs Concept Mapping on Behavior Therapy:  Conducted a

    study on Behavioral and bodily self concept changes after concept mapping and problem solving method of teaching, Aim

    of the study is to finding correlations between the development of behavior therapy through problem solving and concept

    map method of teaching, assertive training and the modification of the bodily self concept (or body image).Method: Eleven

    social phobic patients (6 women, 5 men, mean age 31.5) are treated in two groups and measured by Rathus's behavior

    therapy schedule, and Osgood's semantic differential (key concepts: my self, my body, my voice, my gestures, my look;

    control concept: a table). At post test and follow-up (between 6 and 9 months), Results: ANOVA shows a significant

    positive change in behavior therapy (p 0.001), correlated with modifications in bodily self concept. The patients are rating

    their body and their look as more active and stronger, but the body is perceived as more dangerous (p 0.05). No change

    appears in the other key concepts and the control concept. The interrelation between behavioral therapy and problem

    solving and concept mapping method of teaching and cognitive changes are discussed.

    CONCLUSIONS

    To Associate the Level of Knowledge on Behavior Therapy with Selected Demographic Variables:   The

    association level of behavior therapy with demographic variables in terms of age ,gender, medium of instruction, Religion,

    family monthly income, Type of stay, Type of family, type of parenting and order of birth. The inference shows that there

    is no significant association with demographic variables. Shahsiah M, Botlani S, (2009) Conducted a study on The effect of

    behavior therapy training on student's academic anxiety. Aim of the study is to determine the effect of behavior therapy

    training on reducing anxiety levels There were 3 questionnaires, namely demographic, academic anxiety and behavior

    therapy Rathus questionnaires in which the validity and reliability were calculated and approved.
