Ms. Shalini Johar & Vinod Kr. Shanwal

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2021 | Volume/Issue:9/44 | Page No.: 10940 - 10951

The present pandemic has opened an avenue for all stakeholders of education, especially for teachers, to think about the alternatives that can be explored to keep educational processes going. The sudden outburst of this situation compelled teachers and students to create, adopt and adapt to online learning environment despite the fact that preparations and infrastructural support for the same were limited. The curriculum and examinations related commitment motivated teachers to complete the teaching learning process in due time. However, the challenges for the teachers to do so were quite immense. This paper focuses on the teachers’ perspectives of online learning environment and its challenges that they came across during online teaching learning process. Based on a research survey, conducted on 110 teachers of 26 higher educational institutions of India, this paper contends that majority of teachers were enthusiastic to learn new technologies and felt that this shift made them more empowered. However, major challenge they found was lack of band width & connectivity, students’ active participation and smooth interaction. This paper also highlights the perception of teachers about feasibility of online assessment and its current alignment with the curricular reforms that is the need of the hour. The paper contends that the blended approach of teaching learning may precipitate enhanced learning environment for all the stakeholders of education for the betterment of all that may pave way for futuristic educational planning even when the situation gets back to normalcy.

As we all know that education is crucial in the development of any country. The main focus of this research is to identify the challenges faced by women pre-service teachers to achieve professional competencies. . All our respondents strongly believed that the married women pre-service teachers face greater challenges than unmarried women pre-service teachers. Despite the supportive attitude of their parents and husbands, unmarried women still face challenges like managing time between personal, social and educational life. Although their husbands are supportive, their children are neglected and they still have to manage home front, which affects their physical and mental well-being.

CYBER SECURITY AND CYBER THREATS

Devansh Bansal

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2021 | Volume/Issue:9/44 | Page No.: 10959 - 10965

Cyber security in the IT world refers to the protection of data which could be present either on personal devices or the cloud from being leaked or shared that could lead to financial loss to the individual or an organisation. With the technology advancement the number of attacks on the organisations have increased drastically which has made the study of cybersecurity quite important nowadays. The data which is present on the internet is quite vulnerable which often results in the information being compromised. Various challenges are faced by the IT industries in order to protect the data of the employees and the data of the organisation. Challenges are in the form of data security, automotive security, internet security, mobile security and biometric authentication. A brief elaboration on each is discussed below in the paper. Cyber attacks are done basically for two reasons, the former being to gain money by laundering the information and the later is for the revenge for an individual. Hackers are the professionals who perform the attacks. Some common cyber threats are adware, spyware, phishing, etc. whose description is given below in the ‘Cyber-attacks’ section. Moreover, this paper states some practices that will be helpful to reduce data breaches or other cyber threats. If these practices are followed then data can be prevented from exploitation. Keywords : Cyber Security, Cyber threat, Ransomware

TO STUDY THE IMPACT OF MOTIVATION OF TEACHERS ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES, IN RELATION TO GENDER AND EXPERIENCE

Ritu K. Thakur

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2021 | Volume/Issue:9/44 | Page No.: 10992 - 10997

Learning disabilities are disorders that affect the ability to understand, or use spoken or written language, do mathematical calculations, coordinate movements, or direct attention. Children with learning disabilities need to study in normal schools for their normal development. Inclusive education is the solution for this objective. Teachers are the pillars of the education system and are responsible for proper implementation of educational policies, then whether it’s related to a normal school, a special school or an inclusive school. Teachers have been shown to have an important influence on students’ academic achievement and they also play a crucial role in educational attainment because the teacher is ultimately responsible for translating educational objectives into action and principles based on practice during interaction with the students. Motivation is the fuel, necessary to keep the human engine running. It is human motivation that moves the wheels of civilization. It is human motivation that moves the wheels of work in all spheres of life. Surely, it is the motivation of teachers that moves the wheels in educational institutions. There are many factors which plays the role of motivators among teachers. The present article discusses the impact of motivation of teachers on the academic achievement of students with learning disabilities in relation to background variables gender and experience.

UNDERSTANDING THE ENGLISH TEXTBOOK FOR EFFICIENT USE OF E-RESOURCES FOR QUALITY TEACHING OF THE LANGUAGE

Vinita Abichandani

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2021 | Volume/Issue:9/44 | Page No.: 11004 - 11013

Employment and societal status are equated with knowing English. There was a whooping figure of 274% increase in enrolment in English medium schools in India between 2003 and 2011. However the quality of teaching the language is abysmal. Teachers’ proficiency in English and teaching skills are looked at, as major problems in teaching English as a second language in India. Considering the linguistic diversity of the country and issues concerning language proficiency, most of the government of India has made provision for innovative e-resources in regional languages or with bilingual audio recordings. DIKSHA mobile app was launched in 2017. It is a digital platform with resources to teach English as a second language for schools functioning in 14 media of instruction. This paper intends to test the teacher’s understanding of the English textbook and check its impact on their use of DIKSHA app. 80 teachers teaching English in the Hindi belt state of Chhattisgarh in the district of Dhamtari were the sample for the study. The location was chosen based on the linguistic diversity and a mix of tribal, rural and urban population residing here. The teachers’ responses based on their pedagogical awareness and proficiency levels which are prerequisites to understand the textbook showed an interesting impact on their use of the app. Though the app seems to lend support to the most vulnerable teacher audience, it needs to work on its content to better the quality of teaching the language. The study highlights the possibility of literal consumption of information on pedagogy from various sources including the app but without the conceptual knowledge and proficiency needed to deliver the textual matter. However focus group discussions inverted these results to an extent making it evident that the teachers who spoke more of technology had been using other innovative pedagogy in class already. DIKSHA was only additional. Their seating arrangements interestingly threw light on how a compulsion or technological interventions on using DIKSHA in school had created a hierarchy among the teacher community. The more they spoke on the use and knowledge of DIKSHA in the text-book during the discussion, the higher they would be raised in the group present there. Their talk on DIKSHA decided their seating arrangements and their position in the hierarchy that nonetheless got created during the discussion and seems to exist generally also. Thus the understanding of the textbook does impact the teachers’ use of the app but the idea of understanding of the text-book in itself has changed to integrate now the understanding of codes and other directions for the simultaneous use of app. More than the actual use of the app, talking of the app got highlighted here.

LITERATURE REVIEW: ORGANIZING THE PERSUASIVE ARGUMENTS

Shiva Shukla

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2021 | Volume/Issue:9/44 | Page No.: 11022 - 11027

Social science is a discipline that analyzes society and social relationships. This analysis helps imagine an alternate situation or future and gives a say in deciding and shaping society's collective future (Fuller & Lipinska, 2014). In the knowledge?based society, social scientists integrate a plethora of knowledge that roots from diverse intellectuals and a wide range of social institutions. Perhaps that is the reason a social scientist is called a 'Public Intellectual' (Sassower, 2014). The research processes in social sciences differ from that in other disciplines. A literature review is the lifeline of any research, even more so in the social sciences. Composing a literature review is a systematic activity. It requires rhetoric writing which becomes more manageable if it is a well-thought activity. The present article is meant for providing the budding researchers an insight for embarking on writing a literature review, especially in social sciences, so that they thrive onwards.

Social commerce is where efficient marketers make the best use of e-commerce and fuse it with social media. It is commercially called Social commerce but maybe it should be called "Do you want to make some money?" Social commerce is a $95.3 billion market right now. It's projected to grow to $806.4 billion in the next seven years. If you're a business with products to sell, this info probably makes you feel like that dollar-sign-eyes-green-tongue emoji. Curious about how you can get a chunk of that change? We've got you covered.

A STUDY OF MATHEMATICAL APTITUDE IN RELATION TO INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES OF SECONDARY LEVEL STUDENTS

Vidhi Dhoundiyal & Savita Rawat

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2021 | Volume/Issue:9/44 | Page No.: 11060 - 11069

Mathematical Aptitude in real terms cannot be confided to mere computational abilities; rather it is a high ability to think and work abstractly with the mathematical patterns and sort out mathematical relationships. On the other hand General Intelligence which according to Gardner, calls for a critical thinking, logical reasoning and Information Processing seems to play a significant role in determining the Mathematical Aptitude of an individual. Thus the study aimed to find out the Mathematical Aptitude of an individual in relation to his Intellectual Abilities. A sample of 600 students was taken from various educational blocks of Dehradun District (Uttarakhand) by Purposive-multistage-random sampling technique. Eventually, this study reveals that Mathematical Aptitude is an inborn construct not strictly independent and to some extent it is subjected to environmental influences and Intellectual ability of an individual. The findings also ascertain either a high or a moderate positive correlation between IA and MA (along with all its five dimensions). Keywords: Mathematical Aptitude (MA), Intellectual Ability (IA), Secondary level Students
