Namesh Kumar & Pooja Arora

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4850 - 4855

The present paper examines the association of student achievement in mathematics with home environment. Three variables connected with home viz. Socio-Economic status of Parents, Education of Parents and Maternal Employment were taken up to study the effect on student achievement. The sample of study consisted of 500 (250 boys and 250 girls) of tenth class students drawn from government and private schools of Jalandhar district. The results of the study revealed that there was significant difference in the attainment of concepts in mathematics between high Socio-economic status group and low Socio-economic status group, also a positive relationship between maternal employment and attainment of students was found on the other hand attainment in mathematics was found to be independent of level of education of parents.

INTRODUCTION OF CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM: A NEW PARADIGM SHIFT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

S. P. Mishra

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4869 - 4877

India is one of the youngest nations in the world with more than 62% of its population in the working age group (15-59 years), and more than 54% of its total population below 25 years of age.  The University Grants Commission (UGC) has initiated several steps to include innovation and improvement in course- curricula, introduction of paradigm shift in learning and teaching pedagogy, examination and education system. With a view to allow the flexibility in education system, so that students depending upon their interests and aims can choose interdisciplinary, intra-disciplinary and skill-based courses, choice based credit system (CBCS), is adopted. The choice based credit system not only offers opportunities and avenues to learn core subjects but also explore additional avenues of learning beyond the core subjects for holistic development. The UGC has prepared mainline and specialised model syllabi for undergraduate programmes and made it available to the universities to facilitate the implementation of CBCS. Education is a light that shows the mankind the right direction to surge. The purpose of education is not just making a student literate but adds rationale thinking. It is an engine for the growth and progress of any society. It not only imparts knowledge, skill and inculcates values, but is also responsible for building human capital which breeds, drives and sets technological innovation and economic growth and survival. The institutions, relationships and norms that emerge from higher education are instrumental in influencing the quality of society’s interactions, which underpin economic, political and social development.

QUALITY IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION

Anil Kumar Agnihotri

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4878 - 4884

 A quality education is one that focuses on the whole child - the social, emotional, mental, physical, and cognitive development of each student regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or geographic location. It prepares the child for life, not just for testing. It is believed that education leads to empowerment: a process of strengthening individuals, organisations and communities so they get more control over their own situations and environments. Quality education is a crucial factor in combating poverty and inequality in society. Teachers are at the heart of quality education. Schools should have a sufficient number of trained teachers, receiving good quality pre-service and in-service training with built-in components on gender sensitivity, non-discrimination, and human rights. All teachers should be paid domestically competitive salaries. Quality determines how much and how well children learn and the extent to which their education translates into a range of personal, social and developmental benefits. It is the teaching and learning process that brings the curriculum to life, which determines what, happens in the classroom and subsequently the quality of the learning outcomes.

Shri. Bency Joy

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4885 - 4896

 The study is to explore the impact of acculturation on the political participation of migrants in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. People from different parts of mainland (India) migrated towards these Islands and gradually settled at the Islands. Colonial and post colonial migrations happened at the Islands and as a result of such migratory settlement a unique culture is formed among the migrants. Andaman Indian comprises people from almost every Indian state from different regions, ethnic groups, castes and creeds. The paper focused on how the process of acculturation followed by assimilation and integration which has an impact on the political participation of migrants in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Since a person acquires political values, beliefs and preferences through interaction with primary groups say family and secondary groups like friends, social circle etc and as such the acculturation which happened in the Islands has an impact on the political participation of the migrants. Every political system is embedded in a Sociological and Psychological environment giving birth to a political culture. The paper will also focus on the relationship between acculturation and political participation of the migrants. Andaman and Nicobar Islands also gave birth to a political culture based on the perception of the early migrants with the belief that their expectations will be fulfilled through this system. The electoral political base in these Islands is closely intertwined with the categories of settlement, migration policies and area of settlement. Some of the communities having dominance over the electoral political base are Local born, Bengalis, Moplahs, Malayalis, Tamilians, Bhantu, Karen, Ranchis, Punjabis etc. The linguistic dominance of the Islands has also played a vital role in the formation of an electoral political base and this aspect will also be focussed in the paper. This study followed the methodology based on grounded theory. Theoretical sampling method was used for data collection for generating theory. The study engaged the participants in an open-ended exploratory discussion using the tool In-depth interview. The population for this study comprised of migrants living in the Islands for the past forty yeras.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES: A CONTRIVANCE FOR EMPOWERING LEARNERS BY USING IT IN LEARNING STYLES FOR 21ST CENTUARY

Neeraj Saxena & Sanjeev kumar

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4929 - 4940

\"\"This paper attempts to provide a solution to teaching students with differences. Many teachers resist with finding ways to reach individual learning styles and desires. One teaching method that can accommodate for this variety of learning styles is Howard Gardner\'s Multiple Intelligences. This article attempts to provide a brief indication of the eight multiple intelligences associated with Howard Gardner\'s theory. Each of the intelligences encompasses certain characteristics and these characteristics lend themselves to particular professions, discussed in the paper. The article also suggests specific teaching methods and ways for educators to incorporate the intelligences into their daily lesson planning for practical use in the classroom. This, in turn, allows each child to learn in a way that is associated to his or her strengths, solving the age-old dilemma of how to meet the individual differences of individual students.

BUILDING UP HINDU NATIONALISM ON DOGMATIC AGE-OLD PILLARS

Shriram S. Nikam

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4942 - 4947

 The concept of nationalism known as modern one carried out multiple aspects. Initially in Europe it has organized an absolute political power on secular line, subsequently it stabilized in secular democratic way of life. However, Hegel provided the concept as an organic structure of nationalism under the supreme control of state which subsequently turned into Fascism. The same Hegelian concept of nationalism was organized by the Hindu nationalists particularly Golwalkar of RSS in Indian context. His compact theory of Hindu nationalism by favoring caste and Verna, condemned an individual under the clutches of social and state slavery.

TECHNICAL INNOVATION OF GEOGRAPHY WITH GIS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Prakash Vir Singh

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 4987 - 4993

The innovative geographical smart class system emphasises the use of technology tools as an important aid in learning and teaching: computers are the main instruction (teaching) tool. Significantly, the integration of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in teaching has given greater priority to Science, Mathematics, and English. Therefore, Geography has become what students perceive as a ‘dry’ subject with little use of technology. Unlike India in developed countries Geography receives more attention and has become a key subject at both the primary and secondary level; as a result, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely accepted and integrated into the Under Graduation and Post Graduation Geography curriculum. However, the integration of GIS in Geography education in India is still regarded as a myth, for reasons of lack of ability, human resources, ground facilities, and ICT provision. Thus, this article will discuss the potential to integrate GIS in an Indian Higher Education System, which is well known for being the most sophisticated and well-equipped with ICT in the country. A content analysis was performed based on articles from local and foreign publications regarding the integration of GIS in Geography teaching. The content analyses, which include articles, theses and conference papers, discuss the opportunities to integrate GIS in teaching Geography. The analysis shows that innovative smart classes in India have adequate ICT facilities and well-trained human resources for GIS. Thus, a plan for integrating GIS in Geography education is not a myth and will become a reality if the Indian Ministry of Human Resource and Development is ready to implement it at grass root level.

READING BETWEEN THE LINES: AN APPRAISAL OF CHEMMEEN THROUGH THE LENS OF TRANSLATION

Aparna Ajith

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5005 - 5010

Translation studies have become the need of the hour and its development will take place as programmes in world literature expand and the vital role of translation in the propagation of world literature will continue to be highlighted. The etymology of the word ‘translation’ suggests that meaning is picked up bodily from one culture, transported across a frontier, expresses it across the chasm which separates a language from the other and deposited unaltered on the other side. Edward Sapir has rightly said that different languages represent different world views, that it is not simply a question of rephrasing when one moves into another language. The paper will begin by evaluating the Sahitya Academy award winning novel Chemmeen of the Jnanpith winner and Malayalam literary stalwart Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai with a kaleidoscopic view of linguistic provenances. Languages develop over time and words accrue significance. The main challenge faced by the translators is how far they are able to convey the same meaning without causing any damage to the subtle linguistic nuances and cultural flavor to a target language. The intended study likes to throw light upon the role of translation in the field of comparative literature and how it enables us to “read between the lines”. Albeit the medium of expression remains same in translation, it undergoes a tremendous change vis- a -vis contexts when there arises the need of precision, elaboration, addition of facts for the clarity of facts, etc. in a target language from the source language.

CULTURAL CONFLICT IN MARK TULLY'S "KUMBH MELA"

Harshita Rathee

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5042 - 5045

  

India is the birthplace of many different religions. India, being a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious society and multi-cultural society celebrates holidays and festivals of various religions. Throughout the history of India, Indian culture has been heavily influenced by Dharma religions and most influenced are Hinduism and Islamic religions. Conflict between Muslims and Hindus is perhaps nowhere more acute than in India, where historically Hindu and Muslim populations have struggled with co-existence. The culture of India is different and diverse. India\'s languages, religions,  traditions, dance, music, architecture, food, festivals  and customs differs from place to place within the country. The Indian culture, often labeled as an combination of several cultures. Mark Tully is one the world\'s leading writers and broadcasters on India. Mark Tully has written a lot about India and mostly about its social, political. cultural and religious aspects.Mark Tully\'s analysis of India and its problems are quite disruptive. He makes no attempt to hide the realities. The "Kumbh Mela" by Mark Tully is extracted  from his book \'No Full Stops In India\'. Tully, in his essay describes Kumbh Mela as on the greatest religious festivals of India. Lakhs and Lakhs of people gather during this festival. More than five hundred religious organizations take part in it. It is of course a great religious festival, the world\'s largest we are told, but there is much more to it than just the great bathing day, spectacular though that In the essay, Tully describes and focuses about the cultural differences between Hindus and Muslims. This essay portrays a different side of India\'s Cultural diversity and also focuses that after so many years of independence, people of India still live in the cage of blind beliefs and superstitions.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF MIGRANT MUSLIM WORKERS IN ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS

Sushim Kumar Biswas

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5046 - 5055

Socio-economic status (SES) is a multidimensional term. Today SES is deemed to be a hyper - dimensional latent variable that is difficult to elicit. Socioeconomic status is a latent variable in the sense that, like mood or well -being, it cannot be directly measured (Oakes & Rossi, 2003) and it is, some-what, associated with normative science. Finally, it converges to the notion that the definition of SES revolves around the issue of quantifying social inequality. However, it poses a serious problem for the researcher to measure the socio-economic status of migrant workers for short duration during the course of the year. Even in the absence of a coherent national policy on internal migration, millions of Indians are migrating from one destination to another with different durations (Chandrasekhar, 2017). The Andaman & Nicobar Islands(ANI) is no exception and a large number of in-migration is taking place throughout the year. Towards this direction, an attempt has been made to examine the socio-economic profile of migrant Muslim workers who have come to these Islands from West Bengal and Bihar in search of earning their livelihood. An intensive study has been conducted to assess their socio-economic well-being, literacy, income, health hazards, sanitation & medical facilities, family size, indebtedness, acculturation, social status, etc. This study reveals that their socio-economic profile in these Islands are downtrodden, nevertheless they are in a better state than their home town.

Keywords: Socio economic profile, health hazards, indebtedness, sanitation, acculturation.

9/11: A LETHAL BLOW ON HUMANITY AND A DATE WHICH WILL CONTINUE LIVING IN INFAMY

Ranbeer Kumar

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5056 - 5065


In my paper I have tried to study the 9/11 causes and its consequences revolving around Don DeLillo’s novel Falling Man. The plot of Falling Man revolves around the 9/11 incident  in a circular manner  which starts from the attack and finishes at the same point and shows the change in an individual in the likes of Keith and other characters greatly throughout the novel. I also intend to analyze 9/11 incident in the lights of science and politics and the loopholes in the system which gave way to the attack. Falling Man is quite symbolical as it represents the falling humanity and falling of ethics and faith at the same time. Throughout the novel, Lianne sees an artist nicknamed Falling Man in various parts of New York, who suspends himself upside-down with rope and a harness in the pose of the man in the famous photograph of the same name by Richard Drew. It is not just the man who is falling from the skyscraper tower but its humanity which declines and divides people on the basis of religion, region or nation.

Keywords: Falling Man, 9/11, attack, tower, terrorist, CIA, FBI, humanity, life, religion, God, faith.

THE NAMESAKE: TRACING IDENTITY TRAPPED BETWEEN ORIENT AND OCCIDENT CULTURE

Ranbeer Kumar

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5066 - 5070


Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel The Namesake is about self-awareness and discovery of one’s identity between the orthodox tradition of the east and independent lifestyle of the west.  The narration is rich with ethnical subtext and reference, laid out in a coherent and crystal clear manner, depicting the events of Gogol’s life at an uninterrupted pace, over a period of about forty years. The novel depicts the life of Gogol Ganguli from birth until middle age, recording his battle to discover his own self as a second-generation immigrant. Gogol initially struggles with his unusual name and later with the traditions his parents assert on upholding.

SOCIAL INNOVATION AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Heena

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5071 - 5077

This special edition explores and analyses the complexities and possibilities of social enterprise and social innovation. While these related concepts have been subject to considerable research, policy and practitioner attention, detailed empirical studies of the processes involved, the impact of social enterprises, the effects of social innovations and the motivations of social entrepreneurs, and those with whom they partner, are rare. The articles which follow present fresh evidence to provide contemporary insights into: the role of risk in shaping the effectiveness of social enterprises; the mediating function of not-for-profit organizations in the process of social innovation; the relevance of local embeddings and socio-cultural context; and the practice of social entrepreneurship within fluctuating and difficult environmental circumstances. These articles provide convincing examinations of and insights into social enterprise and social innovation which, at times, challenge dominant state within the ‘mainstream’ entrepreneurship discourse. Individually, they offer recommendations for future research and collectively, identify a research agenda for developing knowledge about social entrepreneurship and social innovation.

THE GYPSY GODDESS: A STUDY OF THE POLITICS INHERENT IN THE POSTMODERN DALIT NOVEL IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CASTE ATROCITIES DURING KILVENMANI MASSACRE OF 1968

Ravi Kant Tiwari

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5078 - 5086


Politics of a text is couched in the particular language, form and style used in the text.The narrator at the beginning of the novelThe Gypsy Goddess claims that it is not a postmodernist novel. This paper will attempt to show how this novel fits into the definition of postmodernism. Diverse social issues are also dealt with in the analysis of the novel, where the major issue is the Kilvenmani Massacre of 1968. The heinous caste atrocities in a small village are the microscopic representations of the same at the national level. Besides, the rifts from the canonical Indian literary tradition and the emergence of Dalit Literature have also been focussed in this paper.

LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT

Ravi Kant Tiwari

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5087 - 5093

This paper will try to analyse the debate on language and thought, where one side is of the view that the language is innate, mainly advocated by Noam Chomsky. The other side is of the opinion that the language is acquired through external sociological influences. The major proponent of this view is Mead who opposes Chomsky’s view of language and thought. Taking this trajectory forward this paper will further look into the interrelationships between language and thought based on the two major views of Chomsky and Mead. This paper is interdisciplinary in its approach in the sense that it will traverse the areas of psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and linguistics by taking into account and denying, at the same time, the domain of sociology.

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5094 - 5111

The activities, that are planned for today’ s youth, need to be more experiential involving joyful interaction.As per review, youth want to spend their out-of-school time in activities, that engage their hearts, minds and bodies and to contribute to the work of the larger society and they also want to have fun.The purpose of this study is, to explore the concept of an experiential program of community interaction for youth and to evaluate it based on feedback from teachers, authorities and parents. A self-prepared and validated questionnaire was administered to a Purposive sample of 14 teachers, 5 authorities and 10 parents.Question-wise analysis was done and it was found that the program was valuable to the Institution. According to teachers, authorities and parents, the program was beneficial to youth and children as it gave joyful experiences and helped to inculcate values and sow seeds of responsibility in youth.

VALUE BASED LIFELONG LEARNING – A NEED OF THE HOUR

Srimoyee Bhattacharjee & Dibyendu Bhattacharyya

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5112 - 5124

The UNESCO initiated Faure Report (1972) proposed the adoption of Life Long Education as the master concept of educational policies for both developed & developing countries. A major cause for the growing significance of Lifelong Learning worldwideaims at the present features of the job market. However, Lifelong Learning keeping the basic tenets of learning intact should be far beyond the economic issues & consumerism. It encourages equal participation of the public in learning irrespective of their class, caste, gender & economic status which have significant value implications as well. However, a closer look suggests that the basic protocol of Lifelong Learning is missing in today’s era of globalisation. In most of the developing countries it is viewed as a response to the economic crisis & the challenge of the knowledge economy neglecting the humanitarian values, democracy & citizenship. In gross, what we face today is – “value crisis”.The query whether integration of value education is necessary in lifelong learninginitiated the researchers to conduct a case study on Jute mill workers of North 24 pargana district of W.B. The study reveals that value based lifestyle management programmes have considerably improved the working environment.

CHUNKING CUM ACROSTICS STRATEGY AS A TOOL FOR MEMORIZING THE NAMES OF COUNTRIES AND CONTINENTS

Sk Alamgir Badsha & Chandan Adhikary

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5125 - 5136


Chunking cum acrostics technique based on letters and colours have been developed to assist the geography students of secondary schools to recall the names of all countries of the world spontaneously and accurately with minimum outlay of time and effort.  Geography students thus need to be able to memorize the names of countries and continents correctly whenever necessary. This memorising strategy is especially helpful for the students of third world countries where the concept of digital class rooms are not well exercised.  The effectiveness of the strategy was measured by administering it upon the students of class nine with respect to the conventional teaching method. It was also observed that the extent of retention of information is greater in case of study group rather than the control group those are not exposed to the treatment.

Keywords: General Geography of secondary school; Chunk based Strategy with acrostics or rhythm; color based method; Names of all countries of the world; special ranks.

A STUDY OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR AND ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Mr. Sandeep R. Singh & Vasundhrara Padmanabhan

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5153 - 5163

When we perform above and beyond expectations by helping others at work, our efforts aggregate over time, which benefits our organization’s effectiveness and often helps us receive more favourable performance evaluations (Bret L. Simmons 2013). The performance of extra‐role, non‐obligatory, and unrewarded tasks and activities in teaching is perceived by teachers who perform these tasks to have some influence upon themselves, their students and the whole school (Izhar Oplatka, 2009). It is with this view as to understand the role of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour as presented by the teachers in relation to the organizational climate, this study has been undertaken. The following text gives us a clear picture of the same. The present study focuses on Organizational Citizenship Behaviours demonstrated by Secondary School Teachers in relation to their Organizational Climate. The authors wanted to understand the correlation of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Organizational Climate amongst English Medium Secondary School Teachers across various boards. In all, 528 secondary school teachers, both male and female from secondary schools across Greater Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai were selected for the study. The findings reveal that there is no significant relation between the Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) of Secondary School Teachers (SST) and the Organizational Climate of their schools.

THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UMRAO JAAN ADA, THE TEXT, AND UMRAO JAAN, THE FILM

Ravi Kant Tiwari

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5181 - 5187

This paper will look into the interrelationship between literature and the other arts, i.e. between the novel, Umrao Jaan Ada, by Mirza Muhammad Hadi Rusva (1857-1931), and the movie Umrao Jaan (1981) by Muzaffar Ali. In cinema, we see what the director wants us to see whereas in the novel we can interpret the way we want to. With the coming of the idea of ‘the death of author’ (Barthes) and ‘intentional fallacy’ (Wimsatt-Beardsley) the scope for interpretation of text has widen up. This paper will analyse both the film and the novel by using various film theories and criticisms.

REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE IN TEACHER EDUCATION LEADING BY NATIONAL CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK-2005

Samaresh Adak

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5188 - 5197

This age of globalization also has great impact on education. Teacher education  is  the  brain  of  all  educational  disciplines as  it delivers  education to  train the  prospective teachers.  With  the advent  of  globalization,  there  is  a  global  paradigm shift  in  teacher  education. The main  purpose  of  this  study  was  to explore the role played by National Curriculum Frameworks (NCF) in bringing paradigm shift in teacher education. The quality of teacher education depends on the way the curriculum is implemented in Teacher Education Institutions. In the past year it depends on professionally sound and relevant curriculum now this concept has been changed. This, in turn, depends on the skills of the faculty and its quality and the infrastructural and instructional facilities provided in the Institutions. The  NCF Act  confers  upon  the  Council  to  make  every  effort  for improving the techniques and different concept related to quality teacher preparation in the country and also to ensure planned and coordinated development of teacher education. This change is illustrated in the way in which curriculum is defined and technology is used. The distinct roles of teachers and learners are becoming increasingly blurred. Constructivism theory of learning which supports humans constructs meaning from current knowledge structures.   Constructivism is relatively a new paradigm which exerts major theoretical influence on the present education system.  Hence, there  should  be  revitalization of  whole  Teacher  Education  programme,  which  must  give real thrust on constructivism. Our role as teachers is to be a “guide on the side” instead of a “sage on the stage.” The result is a student learning how to learn and discovering knowledge with the coaching guidance of a teacher. The main paradigm changes in teacher education for which NCF has really taken several initiatives are: Learning without burden’, standard  based  curriculum, balance  in  theory  and  practice,  shift  from  teacher  to  student  centered  delivery  system,  quality  assurance  and  shift  in assessment procedures, Integrated learning, All-round development, community based learner centric approach, Group discussion, experienced based learning, Examination reforms, Constructivist approach  and dignity of the individual .This paper is an attempt to make a systematic analysis of the recent steps of NCF in professional preparation of teachers and its effectiveness towards a paradigm shift in Teacher Education in our country.

PEDAGOGICAL SHIFT IN SCIENCE TEACHING

Samaresh Adak

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5198 - 5208

Today’s pedagogy gives value to the voice of learners and their questions, their abilities of making argumentation and justification, synthesizing and analyzing knowledge and their involvement in the process of inquiring science in a collaborative set-up rather than their ability of rote memorization. With the pedagogical shift in science here pedagogical shift in science teaching is correlated. The movement towards pedagogical shift in teaching-learning of science can be augmented by critically focusing among the teachers and learners, the constraining influences and promoting collaborative efforts aimed at overpowering them. For any qualitative change from the present situation of science education, a shift in pedagogy from a fixed body of knowledge to the process of constructing knowledge is urgently required. It is important to encourage inventiveness, creativity and critical thinking in learner rather than developing competency. NCF 1975, 1988, 2000, 2005, 2009 (NCFTE) and NPE 1986, Policy on teacher education – 2014 all are responsible for pedagogical shifting in science teaching. To achieve this goal learner centric constructivist approach is authentic in present context. Consequent to the implementation of NCF-2005, a shift in pedagogy is taking place in our country. There is also a shift in our understanding of process of learning and about learners in the classrooms.

Ritu Bakshi

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5209 - 5217

The aim of the present paper is to highlight the harsh reality of the suppression, struggle and pain Dalit women face every day. The hardships of Dalit women are not simply due to their poverty, economical status, or lack of education, but are a direct result of the severe exploitation and suppression by the upper classes. They suffer multiple forms of discrimination – as Dalits, as poor, and as women. They remain largely marginalized, poor and socially excluded. The main reason behind this is that most women aren’t aware of women rights in India and other times their legal rights are not protected as they should be. There is a dire need for active participation of both the sex to move forward towards the ideal of woman. Education is milestone of women empowerment because it enables them to respond to the challenges, to confront their traditional roles and change their life. Education also brings reduction in inequalities and function as a means of improving their status within family.  Empowerment of women means enabling or arming them to function independently or authorization that is enduring to equip women with all attributes .Empowering women exclusively attempt for the removal of gender biases, cultural restrictions, provision of adequate facilities .This paper deals with the empowerment of Dalit women and focus on women awareness towards education which is the powerful instrument of changing their position in the society who are being included in the minority.

TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LANGUAGE LEARNING IN INDIAN EDUCATION SCENARIO: REFLECTING UPON ROLE OF ICT AND MULTIMEDIA ON LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

Rajeev Kaushal

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5218 - 5233

It is no denying the fact that one’s repertory and proficiency of syntactics and semantics is the index of one’s personality and is the key to one’s success in life. Language learning is an indispensable part of school curriculum. The 21st century better known as the Information Age is witnessing a paradigm shift in pedagogical practices. ICT and multimedia have touched every facet of life and education is also no exception to this as these are being effectively employed in transacting the curriculum to the pupils by means of smart classes, virtual classes, online learning etc. Although Technology enhanced language learning (TELL) is in vogue in the current scenario yet it is in a nascent phase in India. The present paper highlights the role of TELL on learning English as a second language (ESL) besides throwing light on the pace of its development and use in India.

PARADIGM SHIFT FROM BEHAVIOURISM TO CONSTRUCTIVISM

Shireesh Pal Singh

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5234 - 5245

A broad model of understanding that provides learners of a specific area with viewpoints and rules on how to look at the areas problems and how to solve them is called paradigm. Paradigms gain their status because they are more successful than their competitors in solving a few problems that the group of practitioners has come to recognize as acute. When specify paradigm reaches a stage of maturity and limitations of the paradigm are established, a new paradigm emerges breaking the limitation of the existing paradigm leading to a shift which is profoundly called a paradigm shift. This paper presents the paradigmatic shift that has taken from Behaviourism to Constructivism in field of education.

Keywords- Paradigm Shift, Behaviourism, Constructivism

AN ANALYSIS OF TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION OF E-LEARNING FOR ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS

Kiran Rani & Ashish Kumar Dhawan

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5246 - 5250

 

Continuing professional development is crucial for every job and all the more so, for complex roles such as that of a teacher. The present scenario of our pre-service teacher-education is such that it leaves new teachers largely unprepared to play their roles, and they find themselves unable to cope with their situation, leading to poor educational outcomes for students. Consequently, a vicious spiral begins at the very beginning of the teacher’s career, demoralising her and sometimes leading to a situation of indifference and lack of interest in the profession. Given the prevailing situation, there is a need to look at various aspects related to the professional development of teachers. This paper is an attempt to explore and explain the utility of e-learning for ongoing professional development of teachers from the perspective of teachers themselves, based on their responses to semi-structured interviews about the feasibility of online courses for this purpose.

Keywords: Teacher education through e-learning, Ongoing professional development, Teachers’ perception about e-learning.

 Extension Education is process for changing the behavior of human being. It is likely a process of imparting or acquiring knowledge and habits by the help of instructions then extension education can be helpful for promoting sustainable development of society. It is a volunteering in nature. Working with people for their overall development requires a comprehensive educational programme. It is with existing level of people and aims to lead them to socio-economic development through co-operation and active participation. It is in non-formal in nature. This paper is attempted to give recognition to the Extension Education learner to their profession as certification and recognition to them. In our society there are many persons they have different skills for income generation; but they didn’t get that much recognitions and status. If extension education system develops various models to give them certification, then only skilled workers will get recognitions.
Key Words: - Extension, Extension Education, sustainable development, lifelong learning, non-formal Education, Adult Education, Continuing Education, Gavagaada, Recognition, certification.

ROLE OF EARLY INTERVENTIONS IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

K.Uma Devi & Prof. V. Sudhkar

Issue: Apr-May, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/21 | Page No.: 5315 - 5323

The birth of a child whether disabled or non-disabled is known to produce pressure since it includes adjustments & extra responsibilities for various members of the family. Milestones develop in a sequential fashion. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence, yet having a unique course for every child. The birth of a child with disability is an unanticipated event. Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. These conditions begin during the developmental period, may impact day-to-day functioning, and usually last throughout a person’s lifetime. Children with established developmental disabilities are also susceptible to multiple problems. Early intervention services are a range of targeted services to help young children who have developmental delays or specific health conditions. Early Intervention is prevention of disability and developmental delays. Prevention could be at primary level, when we seek to prevent the occurrence or development of the condition or it could be secondary prevention where in we aim at reducing the impact and magnitude of disability or delay in development. Providing services early helps children catch up and increases their chances for success in school and life overall.
