 The purpose of the present study was to find the effect of physical exercise and yogic practice on 
self-confidence and blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic).  For this purpose, forty five middle aged working women of Faridabad town, New Delhi in the age group of 35 – 40 years were selected.  They were divided into three equal groups (n = 15), each group consisted of fifteen subjects, in which group – I underwent physical exercise, group – II underwent yogic practice and group – III acted as control group who did not participate in any special training.  The training period for this study was six days in a week for twelve weeks.  Prior to and after the training period the subjects were tested for self-confidence and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic).  Self-confidence was assessed by using Agnihotri self-confidence inventory (ASCI) and blood pressure was assessed by using sphygmomanometer respectively. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, among the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variables separately. Since there were three groups involved in this study the Scheffẻ S test was used as pos-hoc test. It was concluded from the result of the study that the physical exercise and yoga practice has positively altered the criterion variables, such as, self-confidence and blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic).
Keywords: yogic practice, physical exercise, self-confidence, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

 What strikes you first about Chetan Bhagat’s novels is the fact that this author writes about Indians and for Indians. His characters are young, ambitious and passionate and have
the same moral, social and religious dilemmas as many of the young Indians today. At the same time their context and sensibility too is unabashedly Indian. if one examines the studies on attitude and behaviour of youth, all these refer to the context of national transformation from a “traditional” to “modern” society.  Bhagat has remained the mouthpiece of Indian youth and representative of India. His writing comes out of his keen observation of his surroundings. As a result his writing is coloured by the sensibilities of modern people and world. No writer can escape from the world in which he or she lives. Taine’s theory of Race, Milieu and Moment is very aptly and appropriately allocable in the works of Chetan Bhagat. Bhagat‟s popularity among collegiate shows his deep understand regarding college life in particular and modern life in general. The present research paper aims at studying the ways in which Chetan Bhagat has portrayed the Indian Youth with all their dreams, aspirations, traumas, and turmoil with special reference to One Night @ the Call Centre. The reciprocal relationship between society and modern youth has also been taken into account to reach to honest findings. 
Keywords: Chetan Bhagat, Indian Writing in English, Indian Youth, Spirit, One Night @ the Call Centre, Indian Society.

INFLUENCE OF THE HIMALAYN HILLS ON HUMAN BEHAVIOUR: A CRITICAL STUDY OF SELECT SHORT STORIES OF RUSKIN BOND

Yatharth N. Vaidya

 Ruskin Bond is a prominent Indian writer of English who has always preferred to live by hills as he has a special fascination for hills. Whether it is nature, people, places, or animals, he is keenly observant of all forms of life and activities in the hills. As he mentions his preference for hills in ‘The Leopard’,
I had lived in cities too long and had returned to the hills to renew myself, both physically and mentally. Once you have lived with mountains for any length of time you belong to them, and must return again and again. (147-48)
          Bond is such a writer who prefers solitude of hills that is suitable to his profession, rather than social life of big cities. The company of hills and his writing is enough for him. He can write almost everywhere and he chooses hills for the purpose of living rather as affable place for writing. He expresses this feeling in ‘The story of  Madhu’ as,
I preferred the solitude of the small district town to the kind of social life I might have found in the cities; and in my books, my writing and the surrounding hills, there was enough for my pleasure and occupation. (99)
           The current research paper aims at exploring critically how Bond has delineated in his short stories the influence of Himalayan hills on human behavior and how hills transform human beings.

 Chetan Bhagat’s choices of subjects for his books are very Bhagatian. Bhagat has potential to be called one of the voices of a generation of Middle class Indian youth facing the choices and frustrations that come with the prospect of growing wealth and advancement. His first novel Five Point Someone is set in the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, in the period 1991to1995. It’s a story about the adventures of three mechanical engineering students Hari (the narrator), Ryan Oberoi and Alok Gupta. They fail to cope with the grading system of the IITs. In five Point Someone, he describes the perennial themes like parental pressure on children for getting admission in highly competitive institute, earn high grades, get a good job, poverty, exploitation at job place, ill effects of domestic quarrel etc. An attempt has been made in this study to place the analysis of the impact of modernization on educated Indian youth in the perspective of modernization of the Indian society. This research paper aims at studying the behaviour of Indian youth in social context. The study of their disillusionment, as presented by Bhagat, has been taken into account to study their sense of being alienated from the world or society. As Adam Clayton Powell claims in Keep the Faith, Baby! (1967); “We have produced a world of contented bodies and discontented minds” 7

 In Mukaa Sub-county, instructional supervision by principals is yet to be effectively realized. In many cases, teachers do not complete their syllabus and students also register low academic grades in both internal and national examinations. Thus, the purpose of the study was to assess the influence of principals’ administrative experience on effectiveness in instructional supervision in public secondary schools in Mukaa Sub-county, Makueni County, Kenya. The study was guided by the path-goal theory. The study adopted correlation research design. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the respondents. Validity was established through expert judgment. Data were descriptively analyzed using frequencies and percentages and inferentially using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Test Analysis with the help of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 23) and presented using tables and charts. The study established that many secondary schools register low grades in national examinations (KCSE) and that principals’ administrative experience influence principals’ effectiveness in provision of instructional supervision. However, many secondary schools are headed by principals with relatively few years of administration. Thus, the study recommends that the Ministry of Education through Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) should promote teachers to positions of school principals based on merit and above all the number of years one has served progressively in positions of headship such as Heads of Departments and Deputy Principals.

 Academic performance of a student is of paramount importance in every academic institution. The focus of this study was to address the effect of instructional media on student academic performance in CRE in public secondary schools in Kenya. The student’s performance in CRE remains a top priority for educators in CRE because when students get good grades, they become competitive in the world of work and may have better employment opportunities. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and the system theory to investigate on how instructional media affects the academic performance of CRE students. The researcher used simple random sampling techniques to sample 10 schools to be used in the study out of the 75 secondary schools in Machakos Sub-County. Proportional stratified technique was used to select a total of 300 CRE students from the 10 selected public secondary schools. Purposive sampling was applied to sample 10 Form Three CRE teachers. The study used questionnaires as the research instruments. There was a questionnaire for students and the teachers. The study established that majority (50%) of the teachers indicated that CRE performance in their school was very good. In addition majority (56%) of the students indicated that the CRE performance in their school was good. The study found that the use of instructional media will enhance learner’s performance as the lessons are always interesting, it makes the topic to be better understood, and also the issues become more familiar to the students. The instructional media improves learner’s motivation thus increasing performance. Further it also improves the learner’s memory as they are able to remember issues easily. The study established that majority (60%) of the respondents indicated that they did not face challenges when using instructional media in teaching. The study concluded that the performance of CRE was good due to the use of instructional media in teaching and learning. The study also concluded that the instructional media the teacher mostly used in teaching CRE was boards followed by textbook. It is therefore clear that the schools in Machakos have inadequate instructional materials needed for learning. The study recommended that the principals should emphasis on the importance of instructional media with the aim of raising the academic performance of the school as it has been proved that instructional media in teaching and learning enhanced the performance of the students.

PROFESSIONALIZING TEACHER EDUCATION WITH CASE BASED REASONING

Manoj Praveen G. & Anoop Thomas Alex

Issue: Aug-Sep, 2018 | Volume/Issue:6/29 | Page No.: 8077 - 8084

Download Article Certificate
 Case Based Reasoning is explained by Kolodner (1992) as a reasoner remembers previous situations and solutions similar to the current one and uses them to help solve the new problem. If student-teachers are taught to adopt Case Based Reasoning as an approach in solving classroom management problems and then when they are faced with new problems as beginner teachers this approach will help them to study previous situations and understand how they were solved.  Therefore, the idea is to develop in student-teachers with necessary abilities to solve classroom management problems through a Case Based Reasoning approach.  This pedagogical intervention in teacher education programme may help in developing quality educators.  To successfully adopt this approach, a case library should be constructed.  A case library consists of genuine stories about how experienced in-service school teachers have solved classroom management problems.  These stories are to be supported with necessary theoretical inputs, prior experiences, expert opinions and worked examples extrapolating how the experienced teacher found the solution to the problem.  In a case library the stories are categorised and indexed.  These stories in the case library could be accessed and could retrieve similar cases which are then for the perusal of the learner to enrich their knowledge.  Taking these prior experiences as a base, the novice teachers can make informed decisions by adopting or adapting or even find another solution to the problem thus promoting Case Based Reasoning.

IRRATIONALITY IN THE PLAYS OF EDWARD BOND

 It is common to have problems in a society. But it is more important to nip any problem in the bud or else it becomes serious and will have disastrous consequences over the period of time. It requires serious concern to search for the root cause of the problem instead of brooding over the problem itself. One can hardly expect a problem without reason. In this sense, Irrationality is definitely a strong reason behind many problems. If someone is found rational of his life he can solve most of the problems with his sense of rationality. Irrationality of an individual destructs his life along with the life of many innocent people. Hence, one can apparently find the element of irrationality in the plays of Bond especially in Saved (1965), Lear (1972).

 This paper is a theoretical overview on four theories of classroom management.  The paper explains in detail the meaning of classroom management by studying the theories propounded by B.F. Skinner (Operant Conditioning), William Glasser (Choice Theory), Froyen and Iverson (Schoolwide and Classroom Management) and L. Canter and M. Canter (Assertive Discipline).  All these theories give distinct thoughts on the concept classroom management.  After going through several studies and theories, it is distinct that components or dimensions of classroom management cannot be restricted to certain behaviour reinforcements, strategies, rules and consequences, management skills, etc.  These theories will help a teacher identify various classroom management styles and adapt their principles into an eclectic theory and then implement in the classroom.  Thus, giving teacher an opportunity to work efficiently to create a positive learning environment in the classroom.

 Sex composition of population is one of the important biological composition of population. The proportion of males to females in a given population usually expressed as the number of the males per thousand. The knowledge of sex ratio is essential for the understanding the conditions of women in the society. A decline or low number of female population in the total population is strongly suggestive of the neglect of girl children, sex selective abortions and traditional attitudes of the society. The analysis of sex ratio is more important. It was using the census data of pune district and Maharashtra 1971 to 2011. In the 1981 the sex ratio of the India was 933 and 986 Maharashtra. In 1991 the sex ratio was 927 and 934 for India and Maharashtra. In 2001 the sex ratio was 933 and 922 for India and Maharashtra. In 2011 sex ratio was 940 and 929 for India and Maharashtra.

 As we know Computers have been used in education for more than four decades, and they have now been accepted unconditionally as an integral part of our entire educational system. The increase in computer use is rapid and has also generated new challenges. Teacher attitude towards computers is an important factor related to the teacher’s role towards the effective use of computers in education. Indeed, previous correlation studies have long forecasted that the use of computers in education would very much depend on how well teachers integrate them in everyday activities. And therefore, the question of teacher attitude toward computers is central to any successful use of computers in education. The present paper deals with the construction and development of computer attitude scale for teachers. The sample has been drawn from secondary school teachers of public schools of Ludhiana district of Punjab.

 According to J. P. Naik teacher education means an effective professional education system which can be modified traditional methods of teaching into dynamic methods and will initiate the teachers to the needed revolution in teaching and lay foundation for their future professional growth. The Education Commission (1964-66) discussed at length various issues related to teacher education. It recommended professionalization of teacher education, development of integrated programmes, comprehensive college of education and internship. The Education Commission says,” of all different factors which influence the quality of education and its contribution to national development, quality, competence and character of teachers are undoubtedly the most significant”. The major weaknesses have been successively pointed out by University Commission, Secondary Commission and Education Commission. It has been observed that the existing system of teacher education is rigid and static. Keeping in view the inadequacies of teacher education programme commission suggest some drastic changes starting from its objectives, content and methodology etc.

This study assessed the impact of government feeding programme on reduction of hunger among adolescents otherwise referred to as secondary school students in Maiduguri metropolis of North-Eastern Nigeria. The population for this study comprised day public secondary schools in Maiduguri, Borno State, with a total population of nine thousand three hundred and thirty eight (9,338) students. Five public secondary schools were selected using purposive sampling technique. The sample of 934 students was selected using simple and stratified random sampling techniques. The instrument used for data collection was a self-developed questionnaire on government feeding programme among students in Maiduguri. The response mode for the instrument was a modified four points Likert type response mode of strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree. Descriptive statistics of frequency counts, and percentage scores was used to answer the research question, while, Chi-square test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the school feeding programme in the state does not reduce or satisfy hunger due to inconsistency or irregular availability of school meals. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that Borno State Government should intensify efforts to ensure proper implementation and funding of School Feeding Programme in the state. Parents should also encourage their children to come to school regularly so that they would not miss their own ration of school meals. Furthermore, Government should employ qualified food scientists, nutritionists, dieticians and caterers to assist in running the programme to make them responsible for the purchase of needed food items to be cooked in schools. Donor agencies and stakeholders in education should ensure that schools have constant supply of food through committed food distribution channels so as to ensure that the children do not go hungry.

 Education is the process which prepares the individual for a productive, progressive, cultured and civilized life. The teacher occupies a central petition in the educational system. The National policy on Education (1986) admitted that no education system can rise above the quality of its teachers. However there is a wide gap between policy formulation and policy implementation. Teaching job may be demanding and involves heavy work load and controlling of unruly students which may result in felling of frustration. Looking towards the significance of job satisfaction in the present scenario, the investigator is keen to study the job satisfaction of secondary school teachers. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey research design. And it was conducted in Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh. The teacher job satisfaction questionnaire (TJQ) was used to assess job satisfaction of Secondary school teachers. The study sampled 600 secondary school teachers. The results revealed no significant gender & locality and experiences differences in job satisfaction among secondary school teachers.

 The present paper aims to analyse the total and sex-wise causes of dynamic growth and distribution of population. Population growth is inevitable outcome of the demographic transition, primarily as a result of high fertility and secondarily mortality declines and mobility in view of rapidly growing or population explosion. Growth of population is the change in the number in a particular area between two given points of time. As described in the preceding paper, the population of our ancestors, a few million years ago, was confined to Africa and numbered only in Lakh. By the time our ancestors invented agriculture, the information started passing from generation to generation. The transmission of knowledge about hunting, gathering and preparation of food helped in expansion of agriculture and growth of population. The growth of population was, however, not continuous after the agricultural Revolution. Civilization rose, flourished and disintegrated; periods of good and bad weather occurred; and famine and war took their toll. Despite fluctuations in the birth and death rates, agriculture permitted the existence not only of higher population densities, and settled village life, but also of large scale cooperative ventures, specialization of labour, development of crafts and social stratification, the growth and development of irrigation and the emergence of towns and cities concentrated of economic power in the hands of numerically small elite. The major turning point in the population growth came with the Industrial Revolution, led the systematization of production with the help of urban power-driven machine. At the time of Industrial Revolution, urban population increased rapidly, and living standards in new industrial towns were abysmal, especially for the poorer families. Families become as the unit of production, goods were produced for sale in regional, national and international markets. There occurred to migrate from rural to urban areas and the productivity per capita increased substantially. The impact of migration on population (dynamics) size and age structure of population has been studied. Existing studies have paid a great deal of attention to population growth and its social and economic implications.

 Diamonds are said to be a woman’s best friend. Since they occur naturally, are mined and polished, they cost dearly. Naturally occurring diamonds are rough and not impressive. Their cutting and polishing bring about the great deal of value addition in their brilliance and price simultaneously. Mining of diamonds has a hazardous impact on both the environment as well as the workers. Moissanite, a lab- created stone, resembles Diamond in more ways than one. It is even superior to a Diamond as far as brilliance is concerned. Another aspect that attracts attention is it price- almost one- tenth of the diamond cost for the same size. Through this research paper, the Researcher intends to evaluate Moissanite as an alternative of Diamond in the jewellery industry.

PURIFICATION TALE: MUTED VOICES OF WOMEN OF THE BOHRA COMMUNITY

 Female Gender Mutilation is not a new phenomenon. It refers to the mutilation of the clitoris through a hot knife.  Through this purification the girl goes through pain and agony right from her childhood. More than the physical pain, it is the psychological pain that renders the woman slave to her own body. Religion and its doctrines justify the act as uprooting the “source of sin” from the body of a woman thus saving her from bringing shame to the family and on herself. FGM takes place on a larger scale among the Bohra community, a sub sect of the Shia community in Islam. The doctrines put forth states that the removal of the immoral flesh will save the person from bringing shame on the family and community. The irony stands that men who see the flesh as immoral question the purity of the woman if she does not bleed or if she does not get the pleasure while consummating the marriage or at times before that. The role of woman to safeguard her own body is jeopardized rendering her as an object which is possessed and protected by men as a motive of misogyny, strongly backed by patriarchy. The paper presents an analysis of the legal, psychological and social implication of victims of FGM in the cultural context of this place. Drawing a unbiased gender neutral conclusion, the paper focuses on their painful experiences of the victims at the behest of safeguarding the honor of the family and finally their struggle for justice. This paper deals with quest of the victims and their fight to question the atrocity subjected in the name of religion and patriarchy.

The monsoon, a vital meteorological phenomenon in the Indian subcontinent, holds profound significance for the livelihoods of its inhabitants. This research investigates the spatial and temporal variability in rainfall patterns during the 2012 monsoon season. The study extensively used data from the India Meteorological Department to conduct a detailed synoptic analysis, exploring the monsoon's impact on meteorological homogeneous regions, including Northwest India, South Peninsula, Central India, and Northeast India. Assessment of seasonal rainfall revealed a near-normal average for the country as a whole, concealing a marked spatial variability. However, weekly cumulative departures of rainfall, analyzed at both regional and national levels, exposed a significant deficiency during the mid-season, later mitigated by a surge in rainfall activity from August to September. Intriguingly, the Northeast region experienced heavy rains in the initial weeks of June, while receiving scanty rains during July and August, showcasing the monsoon's unpredictable nature. The study offers a thorough understanding of the monsoon's spatial and temporal variations, whereby the prevailing synoptic systems showcases a greater control on the regional variations.
