Ambalika Dogra

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2366 - 2375

\"\\"\\\\"\\\\"\\"\"This work compared two methods of instructions such as blended and traditional instruction to see their influence on engagement in learning of 50 regular students of BA first semester on a course developed in psychology. The 25 students of experimental group were taught by blended instructions (70% online and 30% traditional) and 25 students of control group were taught through traditional instructions (face-to-face lecture method in a traditional classroom). The students\\\\\\\' post-test scores on engagement in learning were examined by applying t-test to find out if there were significant differences between the experimental and control group. Findings of the study indicated blended instructions to be effective in improving engagement of students in learning than traditional instructions.

PROFESSIONAL STATUS, ROLE ADJUSTMENT AND CONFLICT OF WORKING WOMAN: A STUDY OF SCHOOL TEACHESRS

Poonam Gupta

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2376 - 2390

The setting in which a professional functions has a great deal of relevance for role-playing. In actual situations a particular setting may or may not be adequately facilitating for the proper role-playing of the professional. His/her success or failure in this regard can reasonably be attributed, at least in part, to the factor in setting. A study of role-activities of a category of professionals, therefor, entails a discussion of their professional settings. Professional needs to have adequate access to certain equipment or facilities for proper and effective role-performance. The work conditions of the teachers can also be viewed as a part of their professional setting. The quantum of teaching workload the teachers have; number of courses they have to teach; and other extra-academic duties, which they have to do, are crucially consequential for their professional activities. A teacher overburdened with the institutionally assigned teaching and non-teaching work may find him/her worn out to do his/her teaching work intellectually effective or to involve himself/herself in other intellectual activities. This paper is an endeavour to make study of professional status, role adjustment and role conflict of working women of selected secondary school teachers.

CHALLENGES BEFORE BETELVINE CULTIVATION

Bharat V. Patil

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2391 - 2400

\"\\"\\\\"\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\"\\\\"\\"\"Agricultural marketing committees helped all farmers for the immediate sale of all agricultural products.  In the same way it helped for the immediate sale of betelvine leaves. Agricultural produce marketing committee not only facilitated farmers for immediate sale of betel leaves but also encouraged farmers to grow more of betel leaves. Betelvine leaves were known as perishable and so required immediate sales. Cultivators did not know the knack of quick marketing and so they were dependent on commission agents. As soon as cultivators plucked the leaves, they sent the leaves to the market for sales. Cultivators packed them into an appropriate package, known as a dag.  In the evening all the dags were collected by agents who carried all dags by their own or hired tempos or trucks to the determined markets. Price was recognized as an expression in terms of money.  Generally, price covered cost of production plus profit to disclose the efficiency of production.  Price was measured as an important element to collect revenue as the price was a charge on sales. Price was the primary element of marketing mix. Price induced the cultivation of betelvine for the favorable decision making. Cultivators selected the suitable marketing area which yielded sufficient surplus income. Cultivators preferred their options in the selection of intermediaries for the immediate sale of betel leaves.  Cultivators dispatched the matured betel leaves for sale at highest prices to intermediaries to fulfill the basic aspiration.  Price was determined on the basis of supply of leaves, quantity, maturity, color, size of leaves etc.  In Sangli, there was no an organized market for the scientific sale of betel leaves.  Intermediaries played a solid role to influence price that produced expected profit. Cultivators relied to tally on agents who were well converts and with the market tactics and cultivators were much busy with their routine work of cultivation. Betelvine leaves were sold on auction and on bargains by intermediaries.  Better price was offered to better quality of betel leaves.  During social and cultural celebration demand of betel leaves was increased and price automatically hiked.  Mumbai, Kolhapur, Sangli, Chiplun, Fonda and many parts of Kokan region were the main market for the sale of Sangli betel leaves.  Betelvine cultivators in Sangli district not only earned income but also claimed good reputation in the various markets.  Cultivators collected dues after one week for their sale from Sangli, Kolhapur, Chiplun, and Fonda and after a month from Mumbai agents. Local commission agents also paid the dues to the concerned cultivators after one week.

Key Words: Betel leaves, challenges, commission agents, auction method of sale

REFORMULATING THE HOME SCIENCE CURRICULUM: A STUDY OF EXAMINATION OF NEED AND AWARENESS

Shaily Dubey

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2401 - 2403

Home science has developed to a great extent but it still has a long way to go. In spite of its high ideals and goals, Home Science does not seem to have a significant place in our education system. In spite of the formulation of many policies, the Home Science education has failed to attract the desired clientele of the society. Therefore, the need was felt to explore into the causative factors which are responsible directly or indirectly in obstructing the growth of the subject. In this regard, the paper attempts to examine the need for reformulating the home science syllabus at senior secondary level and change in its nomenclature Keywords: Home Science, Curriculum, Syllabi

G. K. Dhokrat

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2427 - 2432

\"\\"\\"\"The present study was planned to investigate the effect of up and downhill running regime on 5000-meter running performance of boy’s athletes. To conduct the study, 50 male athletes who competed in district level athletic competitions were selected as sample. The age range of the selected subjects was between 16 to 18 years. These selected subjects then divided into two groups i.e. experiment and control group with equal number of subjects assigned randomly in each group. The subjects of experimental group underwent up and down hill running as per the training schedule of eight weeks along with usual exercises whereas subjects of control group did not perform up and down hill running. Results indicate that eight weeks of up and downhill running during training period has been instrumental in improved performance in 5000m timings of athletes from experimental group as compared to athletes constituting the control group. It was concluded that up and downhill running should be included in training programme for athletes taking part in 5000m athletic event.

STRENGTHENING LIFE SKILLS THROUGH EDUCATION: A PERSPECTIVE

Omprakash H.M. & Geetha R.M

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2440 - 2448

Much of the thinking done in formal education emphasizes the skills of analysis-teaching students how to understand, follow or create a logical argument, figure out the answer, eliminate the incorrect paths and focus on the correct one. However, there is another kind of thinking, one that focuses on exploring ideas, generating possibilities, looking for many right answers rather than just one. Both of these kinds of thinking are vital to a successful working life, which is none other than Critical Thinking. The definition of critical thinking has changed somewhat over the past decade. Originally the dominion of cognitive psychologists and philosophers, behaviorally-oriented psychologists and content specialists has recently joined the discussion. The following are some examples of attempts to define critical thinking:

·         ...the ability to analyse facts, generate and organize ideas, defend opinions, make comparisons, draw inferences, evaluate arguments and solve problems (Chance,1986, p. 6);

·         ...a way of reasoning that demands adequate support for one\\\'s beliefs and an unwillingness to be persuaded unless support is forthcoming (Tama, 1989, p. 64);

·         ...involving analytical thinking for the purpose of evaluating what is read (Hickey, 1990, p. 175);

·         Critical thinking is the disciplined mental activity of evaluating arguments or propositions and making judgments that can guide the development of beliefs and taking action.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND MICROFINANCE - A STUDY ON SELF HELP GROUPS IN THANE DISTRICT OF MAHARASHTRA

V.S. Kannan Kamalanathan

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2449 - 2457

Women empowerment in the context of women’s development is a way of defining, challenging and overcoming barriers in a women’s life through which she increases her ability to shape her life and environment. It is an active multidimensional process, which should enable women to realize their full identity and power in all spheres of life. India envisions a future in which Indian women are independent and self reliant. It is unfortunate that because of centuries of inertia, ignorance and conservatism, the actual and potential role of women in the society has been ignored, preventing them from making their rightful contribution to social progress. Women entrepreneurship development is an essential part of human resource development. Entrepreneurship amongst women has been a recent concern. Women have become aware of their existence their rights and their work situation. However, women of middle class are not too eager to alter their role in fear of social backlash. The progress is more visible among upper class families in urban cities. However it is observed the development of women entrepreneurship is very low in India, especially in the rural areas. The present paper is based on primary and secondary data collected from different sources and specially focus on women entrepreneurship. The collected data has been analyzed through statistical techniques i.e. SPSS, EXCEL and conclusion were drawn

A hospital service is one of the most highly congested fields of hospitality services and faces a great deal of pressure, compared with any other hospitality services. Delays in the hospital system may result in difficulties of scheduling services at any units and decrease in patient satisfaction. So waiting times in health services is a wide spread problem which affects the quality of services as well.

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2505 - 2510

 As we look around us, we see that our surroundings were originally a natural landscape such as a forest, a river, a mountain, a desert, or a combination of these elements. Most of us live in landscapes that have been heavily modified by human beings, in villages, towns or cities. But even those of us who live in cities get our food supply from surrounding villages and these in turn are dependent on natural landscapes such as forests, grasslands, rivers, seashores, for resources such as water for agriculture, fuel, wood and fish. Thus our daily lives are linked with our surroundings and inevitably affects them. We use water to drink and for other day – to – day activities. We breathe air, we use resources from which food is made and we depend on the community of living plants and animals which form a web of life, of which we are also a part. Everything around us forms our environment and our lives depend on keeping its vital systems as intact as possible.   Our dependence on nature is so great that we cannot continue to live without protecting the earth’s environmental resources. Students’ environmental awareness is the most important indicator for displaying nation. The impact of videos and multimedia technologies in educational outcomes is a field of ongoing research civilization. Video combines many kinds of data (images, motion, sounds, text) in a complementary fashion; learning can be adjusted more easily than with other tools to the diverse learning styles and individual learning pace of students. In this study investigators have examined the impact of video technology on the awareness about the Environment among Primary level students.

EARTH MOTHER --- MYTHOLOGY

Nandita Roy

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2642 - 2655

According to a UN report, 35% of the world’s woman population is subjected to violence in some aspect of their lives or other. Neither can anyone deny the fact that in times of war, which in itself is violence against humanity, the risk of untold abuse against women becomes particularly high. Violence against women is and has always been a worldwide phenomenon. This is an issue that aggravates anger and bitterness in all self-respecting and educated women and (many, but not all) men. The vulnerability of women has perhaps been, so far, a perpetual feature in the history of mankind. In India, the situation can be seen to be even more particularly paradoxical since 80.5% of the population of almost 1.26 billion is Hindu who worship powerful Goddesses like Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, etc. Another name that all Indians are easily familiar with is Sita, traditionally known as the ideal of Indian womanhood. Sita’s “pativrata” i.e. loyalty to her husband, was so strong that she was able to withstand the fire test unharmed. Ultimately, towards the end of the story, it is Earth Mother who comes to Sita’s rescue. The epic raises many interesting questions and observations concerning female bonding between mother and daughter as well as grave issues of gender.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to explore the myth of the Earth Goddess in symbol as well as in metaphor. A comparison with other world cultures has also been made.

The objective of this paper is to study mythology with the intention of finding new and more meaningful interpretations that may have significant relevance in today’s life. The reexamination of the role played by Pritivi or Bhoomi Devi in Indian mythology will probably provide a vital role model for today’s Indian woman who struggles for a dignity2

and survival. A study and critique of the many interpretations of incidents and happenings related to these divinities and characters from mythology could, if brought into popular culture, probably change the mindset of both perpetrators of crimes against women as well as survivors of such crimes along with the many women who could fall victims to such crimes at any point of time.

Parveen Rani

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2664 - 2669

 The challengers faced by teacher education institutions raise pertinent questions for both the school
system and the governments. While, the school system has to grapple with the problems of teacher quality
and the increasing student and societal expections. Governments are struggling to provide the teacher
education system an environment that fosters innovation and match the requirements of the school sector.
This calls for a breakthrogh and bold thinking on the part of all the stakeholders. In line with the laid out
priorities. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in collaboration with the
Commonwealth of Learning (COL), set out to develop quality indicators for teacher education. The
indicators are the outcome of the recommendations of senior teacher educators and experts in education
from eleven Commonwealth countries. Using these indicators, which are introspective. The instituation
can create internal quality structures for appraisal of the quality provisions of the system, which in turn
would lead to continuous monitoring and improvement and to energize and the sector and fostering
institution level quality structures and improvement.

RETHINKING THE QUALITY OF TEACHER DEVELOPMENT

Mahavir Singh Chhonkar

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2670 - 2675

Teacher Development as being important because it improves the teacher professionally, academically and technically. Teacher profession is constantly changing and constantly being redefined in different ways by different voices at different times. Learning is the core of rethinking teacher professionalism. \\Historically, teachers have had limited opportunities to work with their peers in collaborative and cooperative ways. Activism involves participation, collaboration and cooperation from both within and outside the profession. It requires risk taking, fighting, passion, determination and energy for ideals that enhance education. Teacher Professional Development provides opportunities for teachers to explore new roles, develop new instructional techniques, refine their practice and broaden themselves both as educators and as individuals.

SOME EMERGING TRENDS IN SCHOOL RESTRUCTURING

Mahavir Singh Chhonkar

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2676 - 2681

Certain themes and patterns are emerging as American schools take "the next step" on the road to restructuring and suggest the broad outlines within which school restructuring seems to be occurring. These trends suggest an emerging vision of education that echoes the Progressive movement in some respects. The vision builds on experiments in the late sixties and early seventies, but with unique distinctions. It represents a statement of education\'s increasing value and worth to the community and the economic system, reflects the increased emphasis on students as individuals, and builds upon teachers\' higher education levels and sense of professionalism, sophistication, and enhanced leadership skills. It acknowledges the new partnerships that must emerge for education to succeed in a complex postindustrial global society. The vision cautiously approaches fundamental overhaul of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. It is a fluid vision that will continue to change, but is only now taking on a discernible outline.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN IN THE KHASI MATRILINEAL SOCIETY

Jecinthal David Koilpillai & Abhishek Tripathi

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2699 - 2700

 The North Eastern region of India is one of the most ethnically, linguistically, socially and culturally diverse regions in India. In this region, both patrilineal and matrilineal social structures exist side by side. The Khasi tribe of Meghalaya follows the matrilineal system, where lineage and inheritance are traced through women. In such societies in order to promote full respect for human dignity and achieving equality between men and women, women are expected to play a pivotal role and hold a place of pride in the social setup, unlike their counterparts in a patrilineal society. The main purpose of this study is to unravel the veracity of the belief that women are not discriminated against in the Khasi society. The study reveals that discrimination against women is an unfortunate reality among the Khasi community of Meghalaya. A close-ended questionnaire and a semi structured interview were used for collecting data.

AVAILABLE FACILITIES OF TEACHING SCIENCE IN RELATION TO SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT TEST AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Ravindar Reddy

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2711 - 2715

 We are living in an age of rapid changes and science is playing a dominant part in bringing about these changes. Science has provided the spring board for all the progress in our world and man has been able to conquer time and distance with its help. It is no exaggeration to say that, at present, science dominates every field of our activities. The technological advances have sought to explore and multiply the possibilities of affording more effective and comforts to living creation. Thus, from cradle to the grave, scientific discoveries and inventions have inextricably woven themselves into the fabric of human existence. The growing importance of Science and Technology in the modern world today needs no justification. It is agreed that a systematic teaching of science is must for all individuals to help them adjust to changing times and live comfortably in a modern environment. To meet this requirement a firm foundation of the elements of science should be laid at the initial stages. The secondary stage is a stage at which the children grow into adolescence and this period can become very difficult for many children. Problems of adjustments in the family, the school  and  the  society  begin  to  appear.  The  child  becomes  a  boy  or  a  girl  with  greater intellectual, emotional, social and physical maturity than the primary school child. The sense of social demands and responsibilities and resulting tensions begin to surface. Science education is the field concerned with sharing science content and process with individuals not traditionally considered part of the scientific community. The learners may be children, college students, or adults within the general public; the field of science education includes work in science content, science process (the scientific method), some social science, and some teaching pedagogy.

 Mangrove ecosystems which are composed of mangrove forests are among the most productive and biologically important ecosystems in nature. Half of the global population lives within 100 to 150 km of the coastline. Mangrove systems are productive as well as most threatened, scientific data suggest that in past 40 years the mangroves have been degrading. These ecosystems didn’t have enough scientific attention. Large mangrove land areas are observed in countries like Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico and limited parts of Asia. The mangrove ecosystem stands out as a distinct forest type, as an interface between terrestrial, estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems. Mangrove species are increasingly threatened and experiencing range contraction across the globe that requires urgent conservation action. Public awareness, formulating new policies can assist protecting mangrove ecosystems.

THE NEW EVOLVING SYSTEM OF E-PAYMENTS IN INDIA

Poonam Gupta

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2754 - 2766

 In the last few decades, rapid advancement in technology and economic activities have led to new wave of innovations in the space of  e-payment system in India.From the beginning, the Reserve Bank of India has taken several initiatives for ensuring safe, secure, sound, efficient, accessible and authorized payments systems in the country. The initiatives taken by RBI in the mid-eighties and early-nineties focused on technology-based solutions for the improvement of the payment and settlement system infrastructure, coupled with the introduction of new payment products.
With the formation of National Payment Corporation of India in 2009, a retail payment system has got a new kick in India. Since its inception, the NCPL has achieved several milestones such as  ImmediatePayment Service, Automatic Clearing House, Electronic Benefit Transfer and Domestic Card Payment network named RuPay.
In India, e retail transactions are more of “Volume based”, rather than “Value based”.In this regard, payment gateways provide quick mechanism to manage such transactions. Quite a few banks and service providers are offering payment gateway services in India. Further,Pay Gov India is launched in 2014 by Government of India under e-governance plan. Pay Gov India offers online payment options using net banking, credit cards, debit cards, IMPS, Cash cards, Wallets, NEFT/RTGS to citizens to avail government services.
Another new innovation recently introduced in the payment system landscape is the arrival of payment banks. the payment banks are expected to provide low cost platforms to the beneficiaries and move India more towards a cashless economy.The way payments are made in India is clearly changing fast with paper clearing taking a back seat. Electronic payments methods are continuously evolving at a fast pace to meet the needs of the current period.

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2792 - 2797

The general objective of this paper was to study the hot spots of water erosion problem at district level in India. Water erosion data was collected from NRSC/ISRO Open data and product archive facilitates. This layer consists of fraction of water erosion within a grid cell of 5000meters x 5000meters. The product was derived from Land degradation map on 1:50,000 scale generated using multi-temporal LISS III data aboard Resourcesat-1 / 2 of 2005-6. The data is provided as long integer format. To convert the data to fraction area of grid cell, the number has to be divided with 10000. Information on district boundaries was collected from official website of Indian Geo Platform of IISRO, National Remote Sensing Center, Government of India. The spatial variation in water erosion was analysed with the help of hot spot analysis tool of the ArcGIS platform. The hot spots of high water erosion problem were found as 187, 20 & 07 respectively at the confidence level of 99%, 95% & 90%. The findings of the work will help the policy makers to develop the programmes to minimise the problem of the water erosion in the problem prone districts. Keywords: Water erosion, Geostatistical analysis, Hot Spot Analysis.

Shahid M. Zakaullah

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/25 | Page No.: 2803 - 2810

The Constitution 74th Amendment was passed by the Parliament of India in 1992 with lot of enthusiasm and great expectation. The experts were hopeful that it would bring about tremendous changes in the urban local governance and a new era of empowerment would set in the processes of local governance. The strengthening of grassroots democracy will have an impact on the national ethos towards governance mechanism. However, the time has come to assess the Act afresh and suggest changes if needed. If the success has not come our way, we need to introspect and explore relevance for a legislation in the contemporary period.
