International Situation of E-learning

Madhuri Ludbe

Download Article
 E-learning is an inclusive term that describes educational technology which can
electronically or technologically supports learning and teaching. Bernard Luskin, a
pioneer of e-learning, advocates that the "e" should be interpreted to mean "exciting,
energetic, enthusiastic, emotional, extended, excellent, and educational" in addition to
"electronic." Parks suggested that the "e" should refer to "everything, everyone, engaging,
easy".
E-Learning is increasingly being suggested as an alternative to enhance traditional
educational approaches. It is the most recent evolution of distance learning – a learning
situation where instructors and learners are separated by distance, time or both. It uses
network technologies to create, foster, deliver, and facilitate learning, anytime and anywhere.
It can match the needs of non-traditional students; increase the educational facilities
available to students.
The emergence of E-learning is one of the most powerful tools available to the growing need
for education. Online education is rapidly increasing and becoming as a viable alternative
for traditional classrooms. According to a 2008 study conducted by the U.S Department of
Education, back in 2006-2007 academic years, about 66% of postsecondary public and
private schools began participating in student financial aid programs offered some distance
learning courses. Recent studies show that the effectiveness of online instruction is
considered equal to that of face-to-face classroom instructions but not as effective as the
combination of face-to-face and online methods.

A Conceptual Paper on International situation of e- Learning

Prajakta Petkar, Anuradha Salvi

Download Article
 Distance education has a history that spans almost two centuries (Spector, Merrill,
Merrienboer, & Driscoll, 2008), and this time period represents significant changes in how
learning occurs and is communicated. From basic correspondence through postal service to
the wide variety of tools available through the Internet, society has embraced new forms of
communication through the years. One such form, online learning is known to have a history
of access beginning in the 1980\'s whereas another term, referred to as e-Learning, does not
have its origins fully disclosed (Harasim, 2000). The design of different types of learning
environments can depend on the learning objective, target audience, access (physical, virtual
and/or both), and type of content. It is important to know how the learning environment is
used, and the influences of the tools and techniques that distinguish the differences in
learning outcomes as the technology evolves.

 In reflective practice, practitioners engage in a continuous cycle of self-observation and selfevaluation
in order to understand their own actions and the reactions they prompt in themselves and
in learners (Brookfield, 1995; Thiel, 1999).
Reflecting on teaching is frequently cited as a fundamental practice for personal and
professional development (Biggs, 2003; Boud et al., 1985; Lyons, 2002) Teaching changes
from one context to the next. The skills you develop in one tutorial session may be different
from those required in another, or while demonstrating, or in a lecturing environment.
Reflection is process in which lecturers become aware, or are supported to become aware, of
the theory and motives behind their own teaching, to reflect on this, and to take some
deliberate steps to develop (Gibbs, 1996).
This study will be focusing on to reflective process whether B.Ed training develop
attitude, skill in pre service teachers towards inclusive education through B.Ed. curriculum.

Study of effectiveness of non technological Game based program on academic achievement of students in Mathematics

Kavita Padmawar

Download Article
 Most of the school students feel that mathematics is a difficult, complicated and
confusing subject because it involves formulae and calculations. Some students feel that it is not
related to their real life situations. In schools, teachers use conventional teaching and learning
instruments as text-books, revision books and courseware which could not develop interest in
mathematics and could not motivate the students for learning mathematics. There is no need to
spend more time to learn how to think and perform in the real world challenges, we need
effective, interactive experiences that motivate and actively engage us in the learning process.
That’s why we can use game based learning as an alternative to make learning of
mathematics interesting and realistic.
The focus of this study is to improve the achievement and interest of school students
in mathematics. Experimental research methodology has been used for this study and single
group design has been used for the research. 40 sixth standard students were selected from the
population by purposive sampling method. The achievement test (pre-test and post-test) tools are
used for collection of data. The findings of the study suggest non technological games showed a
positive response towards the academic achievement in mathematics among the sixth standard
students.

Need of Multicultural Education in Diverse Society

Madhuri Isave & Miriyala Shashi

Download Article
 Education and culture are intimately and integrally connected. The cultural pattern of a
society conditions its educational pattern. For example, if a society has a spiritual pattern of
culture, then its educational procedures will emphasize the achievement of moral and eternal
values of life. On the other hand, if the cultural pattern of a society is materialistic, then
naturally its educational pattern will be shaped for the attainment of material values which
promote pleasures of senses and material comforts. A society devoid of any culture will have
no define educational organization. Hence the culture of a country has a very powerful
impact on its educational pattern. The intimate relationship between culture and education is
evident from the fact that one of the major aims of education is to impact to the child his
cultural heritage, the social heritage. Learners should be made aware of their own cultures
and of the need to get to know their own culture and that of others in the school. Learners
should be proud of their cultural backgrounds, because if one is aware of where one is
coming from, it becomes easy to know where one is going to. Education is a deliberate
attempt to construct human beings who will participate in society as productive citizens. The
question whether our education system should be designed or not is quite irrelevant when
education, schooling, training, indoctrination, and the spectrum of ways by which the child is
“schooled” are all based on intentional design. Schooling is the most contested terrain in
any society; it is a battlefield or a conveyor belt for the creation of human beings. In a
multicultural society, who should be entrusted to design schooling? Are those designing our
schooling equipped with the varieties of philosophical perspectives in education???

 India is a multicultural and emerging globalized society. Indian education system is secular
and democratic value based. ‘Indian culture is the culture of cultures.’ So it is not a
particular culture but mixture of various cultures. It is the unique culture in the world. To
transmit this culture is the role of education. So, Indian multicultural education is based on
social justice, educational equity and respect for all thoughts. Multicultural education
includes content integration, the knowledge and wisdom construction process, prejudice
reduction, equity pedagogy and empowering school culture and social culture.
In a multicultural education, a teacher has not a particular religion or culture. He is
a studied transmitter of all religions and cultures. He follows all religions and cultures good
principles. In the era of communication and globalization, the world has become ‘a global
village’. This global village is the melting pot of different cultures. So ‘international
understanding’ is the need of multicultural globalized society. Educated, skilled and talented
students have global opportunities. So teacher, education, culture and globalization should

 Multicultural education is a new trend and it will become incorporated into most school
curriculums in future years. Several prestigious universities in the world today require
students to take classes in social studies. Thus, by using multicultural education, teachers,
in particular, can help children value the significance of treating all people with selfesteem
and not judging groups of people for the actions of a few. More importantly,
teachers must model tolerance and compassion in their words and behavior. They should
also encourage children to explore their feelings about prejudice and hatred. In doing this,
the society will secure a better chance to stop any further destruction and will be able to
present potentially powerful opportunities for the next generation to learn and integrate
respect and dignity for people.

EDUCATION IN MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY

RUBINA ATTAR

Download Article
 Multicultural education is an approach to teaching and learning that is based on democratic
values that affirm cultural pluralism within culturally diverse societies in an interdependent
world. There are currently two viewpoints or perspectives of multicultural education in the
United States, namely the assimilation or “melting-pot” perspective and the pluralism or
“global” perspective. The assimilation perspective of multicultural education is that micro
cultures must give up their original culture and identities in order to blend in or become
absorbed into the predominant Anglo-Western European culture. The global perspective of
multicultural education recognizes cultural pluralism as an ideal and healthy state in any
productive society and promotes equity and respect among the existing cultural groups. It
extends beyond equity pedagogy. With the rapidly increasing interconnections among all
nations, particularly now, as we face global issues related to the ecosystem, nuclear
weapons, terrorism, human rights, and scarce national resources, institutions of higher
education need to embrace the global perspective of multicultural education if we are going
to remain models of democratic societies in a pluralistic world and stay academically
competitive in relation to the rest of the world. The purpose of this article is to explain the
global perspective of multicultural education and how institutions of higher education can
use it to remain models of academic excellence in pluralistic and democratic societies.

changes are taking place. Traditional ways are getting replaced with new one. The use of this
technology in academic education puts high demands on the technology due to the complex
nature of the communication, and the authors maintain that the content and goals of the
teaching and tutoring must decide the choice of technology. It must also be considered
whether different technological methods should be used exclusively or combined with one
another or with teaching or tutoring in the same room. The methods demand both
pedagogical and didactical knowledge in order to ensure quality in the various areas where
the technology is applied, and furthermore, a basic understanding of technical possibilities
and limitations of the technology. As a professional practitioner, the teacher is likely to
become a role model or standard for his or her students. So, researcher wants to put light on
the effective tools for improving English Language. The teacher‟s daily plan is often full of
countless challenges and the time constraints are very tight. However, it is expected that
creativity should be given space at work in an active search for new knowledge and new
methods, and all this will be possible only through only use of technology and its strong
impact.

Transforming Mathematics Education With Technology

Shanti Amol Pise

Download Article
 Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. The genesis of all mathematical development
stems from practical needs. But soon it transcends the confines of its immediate utility.
Mathematics has always played and will always keep playing an important role in our day –
to – day life. Though the subject is very important it is always considered to be the most
difficult and fearful. The dryness of the subject can be contributed to the teaching of the
subject. It is also believed that mathematics is an exceptionally difficult subject, i.e., its study
requires special abilities and intelligence; therefore everybody should not be enough to learn
it successfully. References are made to low pass percentage in this subject in examinations.
The teaching of mathematics presents numerous day-to-day problems for the teaching of
mathematics. Due to inefficient and stereotyped methods of teaching, the subject is
sometimes decried as dull and dry. In the pedagogical study of mathematics we mainly
concern ourselves with two things; the manner in which the subject matter is arranged or the
method the way in which it is presented to the pupils or the mode of presentation. The aims of
Mathematics Education is not being satisfied by the traditional methods of teaching and
learning. Thus there is a need of transforming mathematics education. A positive attitude can
be developed if mathematics teaching - learning is made interesting, effective and childcentered
with proper incorporation of technological advancements in imparting the
knowledge of mathematics. Research has shown that the appropriate use of technology can
transform the traditional mathematics classroom into a dynamic learning environment where
the student is actively engaged in constructing mathematical concepts and knowledge.
