Ketan Laxman Kamble & Ashwini Wadegaonkar
Issue: Jul-Aug, 2015 | Volume/Issue:1/2 | Page No.: 92 - 101
Ethics influences behavior and allows an individual to make the right choices. While the importance of ethics can’t be ignored in any walk of life, it’s imperative that they are practiced in and through the field of education. Ethics in Education helps regulate the education system and ensures that this practice positively contributes towards human welfare. The National Education Policy, 1986 also emphasized on value education. It suggested that learning material should be designed to equip students with the wherewithal to combat social evils on the one hand and develop a scientific temper and habit of logical, rational thinking on the other. As teacher educators are the teacher producers and teachers are social engineers, it is very essential to know the views of present teacher educators about ethics in education. The Focus Group Discussion was conducted to know the views of Teacher Educators (M.Ed. students) about ethics in education. The qualitative data thus obtained from the reports prepared by the groups was analyzed and findings are presented with respect to following issues-Meaning of ethics in education, Areas of ethics in education, Present scenario of ethics in education, Teachers contribution in ethical development, Ways of inculcating ethics in education among students
Key words – Ethics in Education, Views of Teacher Educators, Concept, Areas.

ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION AND SRI SATHYA SAI SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
Minakshi Biswal
Issue: Jul-Aug, 2015 | Volume/Issue:1/2 | Page No.: 121 - 131
Education is the pillar stone of life. In the present situation schools are the carrier of formal education. Long back schools were very less in number. Now-a-days the number and types of schools are really increased. One gets at least three to four private schools in one’s vicinity. This makes it confusing for parents to decide what type of learning environment is right for their child: Choosing a school, or choosing to educate child outside the institution of schooling. One directory published in 1997, The Parents’ Guide to Alternatives in Education, by Ronald E. Koetzsch, described over twenty distinct types of alternative schools and six innovative “trends” in public education. These twenty or thirty different educational orientations can be grouped into six basic clusters: the transmission model, freedom-based learning, social constructivism, critical pedagogy, spiritual developmentalism, and integral or holistic education. Out of these Spiritual developmentalism is the best with regard to the quality issue. Spiritual developmentalism encompasses educational models based on very specific ideas about the unfolding of the human soul through specific stages of development. Both terms in the description are essential: The educators who practice these models insist that there is a spiritual dimension to human existence — i.e., the soul is nourished by universal creative energies that are not explained by the laws of physical science or conventional psychology or learning theory. And the models carefully prescribe what sorts of teaching and learning experiences are appropriate and beneficial at each level of development. Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School is a school which believes and practices a combination of spiritual developmentalism and holistic education. This paper will discuss the mission, vision, and working of Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary Schools in detail.

NEED TO AWAKEN EMPATHY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ADOLESCENTS
Mrs. Archana Vadeyar & Smita Phatak
Issue: Jul-Aug, 2015 | Volume/Issue:1/2 | Page No.: 158 - 170
Lack of fruitful education appears to be one of the reasons why, the entire world is facing the ill effects of youth committed terrorism, sex abuse, drug addiction, crimes and violence. Apart from population explosion, religious fanaticism, technology addiction one of the obvious major root causes of this scenario is lack of quality education or seemingly lack of impact of existing education on our students. The present education system at 10+2 stage seems to be too academic, exam oriented, far more pressurizing, deficient in concrete ideas for all round development and lacks a meaningful curriculum. Moreover, Junior college students are passing through a phase of major physiological, mental, emotional and social changes, get caught up in a rat race of securing marks hence undergo immense pressures. It is proven that empathy plays an important role in adolescent development. By means of empathy one’s kindness and motivation to care may be directed towards someone else’s feelings and need, rather than misdirected. (Hakansson, 2003) Social responsibility values motivate a person’s behaviours that involve helping others and contributing to society. (Wray-Lake and Syvertsen, 2011) All the above points towards an urgency to develop a program which can awaken empathy and social responsibility in the middle adolescents as a part of their schedule. The programs should aim to rouse empathy, enhance youth’s decision making skill and give a sense of self-satisfaction. Thus awakening of empathy and social responsibility in youth will be beneficial for the youth, nation and world. The future of our nation depends on the quality education of our adolescents.

This paper derives, production inventory model for exponential dependent demand and cost
reduction delivery policy. Production rate is proportional to demand rate. Mathematical model
is presented to find optimal order quantity and total cost. Numerical example is provided to
validate the optimal solution. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to distinguish the change in the
optimal solution with respect to the variation of one parameter at a time. Mathematica software
is used to find the numerical results.
