Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4203 - 4210
Socioeconomic status (SES) is a combination of education, income and occupation. Research during the past indicate that SES is related to Psychological distress (Lazzarino, Hamer, Stamatakis & Steptoe, 2013) psychological distress is to describe unpleasant feeling or emotions that impact the level of functioning and interfere with activities of daily living, In our country, with the growth of industrialization, building construction has taken a leap ahead of everything and A&N islands too experienced this leap. With the growth of construction sector in the islands, a good number of skilled and unskilled workers are required. Most of the man power required here fulfilled through migratory workers from Mainland India. The workers are confined to their contractors and living shelters provided by these contractors which often lack basic amenities. This study proposes to follow the methodology based on grounded theory. The grounded theory research design is a qualitative research design. That mainly uses systematic sets of procedures and steps to develop an inductively derived grounded theory about a phenomenon. Theoretical sampling method was used to collect the data for generating a theory. Small individual interview sessions lasting upto 60 minutes in average was conducted to know how socio-economic status leads to Psychological distress in migrant construction workers in A&N islands. Since the research is qualitative in nature and follows grounded theory, data’s were analysed using NVIVO.
Keywords: Socio economic status, Psychological distress, migratory, unskilled, skilled.

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4231 - 4239
The present task was undertaken to construct and standardize scale for measuring computer self-efficacy of prospective secondary school teachers. For this, data were collected from prospective secondary school teachers by adopting random sampling technique. An item pool was created initially by consulting various sources and theoretical and empirical literature available in the concerned area. This item pool was put to evaluation and criticism by technical as well as language experts. The preliminary draft of computer self-efficacy scale was further subjected to item analysis to select only highly discriminating items. The reliability of scale was established with the help of test-retest and split-half methods which were found to be appreciably high. The validity of computer self-efficacy scale was ascertained and norms were established for interpretation of obtained scores on the scale. In the last, conclusions have been presented and applicability and implications of computer self-efficacy scale have been discussed.

GANDHIJI’S PERCEPTION OF LIBERATING THE UNTOUCHABLES
Shriram S. Nikam
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4264 - 4267
In a tradition bound society men do not readily digest the manipulating change as the modern values and institutions offer. The deliberate intervention of modernity by the alien rule for its own sake in the country had not been welcomed by the natives. As such a leader of Indian National Congress Gandhiji had to dilute the earlier dichotomies such as social V/s political reforms and secularism V/s religion so as to organize united front of divergent social interests mobilizing them against the colonial rule. Hence Gandhiji would not follow the line of rationality with regard to the social justice offered by modern values; instead he would follow the line of liberal religious idiom instead of strictly secular to resolve the problem of untouchables by avoiding the path of struggle to be undertaken by them for their own emancipation.

THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF ROMA GYPSIES IN SPAIN
Santosh D. Sabale
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4299 - 4308
The Roma Gypsies, as the largest ethnic minority groups of Europe, are underrepresented in the local labour market due to the cultural status, ethnicity, historical, and social identity and, their marginalized status by the lack of education. Roma is bereft of basic government schemes viz. full citizenship, economic entitlement and development of social welfare schemes. After decades of state-funded service provisions through the non-governmental organizations in Spain, the development of Roma has remained static. In the name of the formal vocational training and skill programmes, the ‘Spanish Roma Inclusion Model’ has become a myth for their socio-economic development. The Roma organizations stand against discrimination and social exclusion that faced by Roma from all walks of life. Using the purposive sampling method, 52 Roma workers who engaged in informal and recycling sector were studied from Bilbao City of Basque region of Spain Country. Three research questions were made to investigate the impact the education and employment on quality of life aspects for Roma people. The study concluded the lower level of education is likely to push Roma workers into high risk and inevitable job insecurity and health precariousness than immigrants in Spain. The Roma organizations have often urged the Spanish government to execute serious implementation for education interventions as well as deliverables of basic needs and goods to the Roma Gypsies.

CONSTRUCTIVISM IN MATHEMATICS CLASSROOM
Ramanpreet
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4316 - 4324
Education is at the confluence of powerful and rapidly shifting educational, technological and political forces that will shape the structure of educational systems across the globe for the remainder of this century. Constructivism claims that learners construct knowledge most naturally and completely when they are constructing some artifacts. Perkins (1986) argues that knowledge acquisition is a process of design that is facilitated when learners are actively engaged in designing knowledge rather than merely interpreting or encoding it i.e learners benefit the most from the learning process when they are the designers of the instructional experiences. Constructivism is a theory of knowledge, a philosophy of learning. Its proponents include Piaget, Vygotsky and later-day philosopher Glaser field. The constructivist philosophy has been adopted in teaching of math by many enthusiastic pedagogues and teachers in many countries. Constructivist pedagogy does not consist of a single teaching strategy. Instead, it has several features that should be attended to simultaneously in a classroom. It has been asserted that for a successful constructivist strategy, the teaching has not only to be student centered and the teacher a mere facilitator, but the teacher has the added responsibility to create a conducive classroom environment. The present paper focuses on that it is important to keep in mind that every individual can and often does use the information available to him or her to construct meanings that do not coincide with authentic aspects of reality or with well accepted, normative conceptions of information.

EFFECTIVENESS OF 5-E LEARNING INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SCIENCE STUDENTS
Anita M. Belapurkar
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4334 - 4339
The field of science education includes work in science content, science process, and teaching pedagogy. Several studies show that, practical science knowledge and school science knowledge are becoming mutually exclusive. An alternative is to change the focus of the classroom from teacher-centred to student-cantered using a constructivist approach. 5-E model is one of the most important model based on constructivism and researcher felt the need of testing the effectiveness of the same in science teaching. The present research is thus an experimental research testing effectiveness of 5-E instructional model for teaching science to 8th standard students. It includes a basic survey of the teaching learning methods used by science teachers, developing a program of teaching learning based on 5 E, and testing its effectiveness. Survey regarding teachers opinions highlights the fact that though teachers feel that science is a subject that can be better understood by active engagement of the students, it is not happening actually in the classroom where due to many reasons today.5 E Instructional Learning Model used for 8th standard students for science teaching was found to be very effective as far as the academic achievement of students is considered.

THE NEED FOR REVITALIZING TEACHER EDUCATION
Randhir Singh
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4340 - 4344
School education system has developed considerably across the years as a result of new, improvised policies and programmes for better accessibility and quality of school education. This has enhanced the need of improvised infrastructure and skilled manpower to cater to the needs of the diverse student population in the classroom. The teacher education system, though is developing, yet has failed to take a quantum leap to match the demand of the quality teachers that has risen in the recent past. In this context, the paper aims to highlight the need for revitalising the teacher education system in the country in order to make the policies for improved school education a success.

This paper analyses the contemporary ways we have in teaching English language. We may have number of teaching methods in between traditional and modern. Everybody has their own understanding and conclusions on teaching English language. But this paper portrays combining this two types how we can make our teaching very effective. We have been completely bounded with traditional methods of teaching and understanding where the present day learners felt uncomfortable a bit. Learner’s mind will never be static it is ever growing and ever changing. Whatever the teaching methodology can be, but teaching must be leaner’s centered. This treatise practically examines that how learners are being affected by the traditional methods of teaching as well, besides it has portrayed that how learners expect teaching and learning process.

The effect of viscous dissipation and variable viscosity, blowing or suction on mixed convection flow of viscous incompressible fluid past a semi-infinite horizontal flat plate aligned parallel to a uniform free stream in the presence of the wall temperature distribution inversely proportional to the square root of distance from the leading edge have been numerically investigated. The governing equations of the flow are transformed into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity variables. The similarity equations have been solved by using the implicit finite difference method. The effect of viscous dissipation, viscosity temperature parameter, the buoyancy parameter, the blowing or suction parameter and the Eckert number on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as on the Skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number are presented and discussed.
Key words: Viscous Dissipation, Variable Viscosity, Mixed Convection, Blowing or Suction, implicit finite difference method.

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4373 - 4377
Emotional progression is the characteristic of a person that refers to a feeling of adequate advancement and growing vitality of emotions in relation to the environment to ensure a positive thinking inculcated with righteousness and contentment. On the other hand, if a person is not progressing emotionally, then he becomes crippled in terms of living his life in a normal way. In this way, emotions play a key role in providing a particular direction to our behavior and thus shaping our personality according to their development. One is expected to have higher emotional maturity in order to lead an effective life. It is also true that our behavior is constantly influenced by the emotional maturity level that we possess. Especially, the adolescents who are observed to be highly emotional in their dealings need to be studied. In this view, a study was conducted to measure the levels of emotional progression of the adolescent children. The sample consists of 180 adolescent students of three private and three government schools of Gurgaon District. The data was collected using a standardized tool namely Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) developed by Dr. Mahesh Bharagava and Dr.Yashvir Singh in 1990. It was concluded that the comparative difference between the emotional progression of adolescent students of private and government schools in Gurgaon was negligible.

Adolescence is a stage of stress and storm. It is a stage where various kinds of development takes place in an individual leaving him in dismay of his identity. The individual at this point of time tries to build up more social relationship and is seen to be involved more closely in his peer group. Social adjustment refers to a process of interaction between the needs of a person and demands of the social environment. Therefore, it may be described as a person’s harmonious relationship with his social world. Keeping this in mind, a study was conducted in the district of Haryana to determine if there is a difference in the social adjustment levels of the adolescent students studying in the private and the government schools of Haryana.

TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY LANGUAGE AND LITERACY EDUCATION-TOWARDS INFORMED TEACHING PRACTICES
Seema Sharma & Priya Khurana
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4383 - 4395
Early Language and Literacy Education (ELLE) is a major predictor and precursor of the child’s lifelong learning. Reading and writing being the foundational skills provide a strong base for the child’s later educational pursuits. ELLE is a significant academic subject with its own knowledge base in the western context whereas in India it still struggles to find its space. Several governmental and non-governmental organizations have conducted noteworthy work on literacy education resulting in remarkable achievements. However, the challenges to providing effective language and literacy education are many. The present teacher education programmes fail to adequately orient the teachers towards approaches to teach literacy. This calls for urgent attention from early years practitioners to address these concerns by strengthening literacy education in schools. It is here that the continuing professional development programmes come into fore to fill up the lacunae between current pedagogical trends and prevalent practices in school.

ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN TEACHING-LEARNING SCIENCE: EXPERIENCES OF PRE-SERVICE STUDENT TEACHERS
Priya Khurana & Seema Sharma
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4396 - 4404
The role of language in the formation and development of concepts is uncontested. Science at school level is largely viewed as a practical subject, but its effective teaching and learning requires language comprehension, whether written or shared orally during classroom discussions (Oyoo, 2012). This suggests that the students’ language, teachers’ language and scientific language all play an intertwined and complex role in comprehending science concepts. The current study involves a group of pre-service student-teachers/interns pursuing an elementary teacher education course from University of Delhi, having Pedagogy of Natural Science as their specialization. They were asked to share their experiences of teaching science to middle school students during their school internship programme. The interns largely came up with issues in transacting the science content in a language other than in which they themselves had studied science, which in this particular case was Hindi.

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4405 - 4411
It will be great effort to depict multiple faces, roles played by women through the novels of Manju Kapur. In the women writers of 21st century ManjuKapur arrests our attention by exploring a wide range of female experiences with minute observations, the everyday issues in the life of a middle class woman who is caught in the web of patriarchy and tradition on one hand and on other hand a modern educated woman struggling for independence, self-identity resisting the hierarchies of power.To the credit of Manju Kapur go five novels: Difficult Daughters(1998), A Married Woman (2003), Home (2006), Immigrant (2008), Custody (2011).Through these novels ManjuKapur has tried to show the multiple faces of woman coming from middle class and the problem faced by them.

POPULATION DYNAMICS AND WOMEN'S HEALTH IN INDIA
Pawar Anil Tukaram
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4436 - 4441
Women are the half sky of the human universe. It is told that while creating women the Almighty Creator was so kind that He mixed various elements like the gentleness of a lamb, softness of the bubbles of sea water, color of vibjure, fragrance of rose into one admixture and created women. The position and status of women are always the subject matter of discussion, criticism or research since time immemorial. The status of women differs from time to time, community to community, family to family, caste to caste as well. Like all the major religions of the world, Hinduism is a predominantly male dominated religion where women play a secondary role. Women are protected father in childhood, by husband in youth, and by sons in old age. The current article highlights the population dynamics and women\'s health in India.

A STUDY OF TYPES OF DYSCALCULIA AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE THEIR MATHEMATICAL STUDY SKILLS
Namita S. Sahare
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4442 - 4451
Children with dyscalculia face challenges like frustration, depression, school dropout, and emotional instability. School students with dyscalculia may have difficulty to understanding number-related concepts or using symbols or functions needed for achievement in mathematics. It is a common learning issue that impact students’ capacity to do mathematics. Special education and remedial teachers find that these student’s basic concept and skill development normally one to two years behind their peers upon detection. Students with dyscalculia also have difficulty with the mechanics of doing mathematics, such as being able to recall math facts. They may realize the logic behind mathematics, but not how or when to apply what they know to solve mathematics problems. Students with dyscalculia find math puzzling and difficult to learn. Their brains need more teaching, more targeted learning experiences, and more practice to develop these networks. This paper discusses about mathematics learning difficulties for school student’s facing problems and reducing mathematical difficulties with educational interventions to improve their study skills

AN EFFECTIVE LEARNING STRATEGY---THE TRI-DIMENSIONAL CYCLICAL HEURISTIC METHOD OF ACTION RESEARCH
Pradip Debnath
Issue: Dec-Jan, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/19 | Page No.: 4464 - 4469
If a student becomes a researcher, then the learning process becomes successful in the true sense. But in Indian scenario it is not a reality. So, to adopt a research-based approach in the learning process has been a demand of the time. The present study seeks to know the different essential aspects of action research and to present the tri-dimensional cyclical heuristic method of action research as a strategy for learning and to analyze the same qualitatively. The study shows that action research may be a fruitful approach in the learning situation. It engages the learners more actively and more interestingly. The study bears implications for both the learners. The policy makers also may take a clue from the study.
