Mrs. Archana Vadeyar & Smita Phatak

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4412 - 4432

Empathetic behaviour in youth, can be beneficial for the youth as well as our nation and the world. Davis (1983) views empathy as, a multidimensional phenomenon including four subscales-perspective taking, fantasy, empathic concern and personal distress. The purpose of present study was to find the effectiveness of the program on the empathy level of Std. XI students. A sample of 70 students was randomly selected to undergo the community service program. Two unmatched group pre-test and post-test design usingDavis\' Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) (Davis, 1980) were used. Findings revealed a significant difference between means, of Empathic Concern, Perspective taking and Personal distress.This indicates that the Program had a positive impact on the Empathy level in terms of,Perspective taking and Personal distress and not on Empathic Concern. More Research is needed needs to be done by incorporating service programs in the regular schedule of adolescents between 14-20 years and study the effectiveness on their empathy and social responsibility level.

ACTIVITY -BASED TEACHING - LEARNING STRATEGY IN LANGUAGE

Hansraj

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4433 - 4436

Language has been the backbone of our civilization . Language is the sign of intelligence.  No other animal on earth has been proven to have the ability to use language like people.  Language allows us to express our thoughts to other people, thus making our intent perfectly clear.  Without language, we would be forced to use grunts and hand signals that would make communication difficult, if not impossible.  Language is the invention that made life all the easier, so that we do not have to guess other people’s meanings. Language is a system of communication consisting of sounds, words and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work. Language can be used in many ways.  Most often, it is used to exchange concepts with others.  A simple conversation about the weather provides the opportunity for two people to share their idea about the current state; they may both be in agreement that the day is cold, and are able to acknowledge to each other that they, too, are cold as a result of the temperature.  Or, if the day is nice, they may be sharing a mutual enjoyment of the weather. Language can also express emotion.  The tone or inflection of the voice is a clear sign of a person’s feelings.  Also his or her choice of language may signal emotions above tone.  A person may use profanity to express strong emotions.

Language can help a person to clarify a thought.  Searching for the right word or phrase can best express a thought.  To simply say that an object is “nice” does not best suit a situation when a more descriptive word like “sublime,” “exquisite” or “beautiful” is a better indication of the degree to which one has associations with the object. Generally students are afraid of studying language specially English language because it is not our mother tongue and that is why student face difficulties in learning second language so ,pupil tend to learn language through a meaningful approach . Therefore for teachers as well students of language , learning methods are very important . Methods is nothing but a scientific way of presenting the subject, keeping in mind the psychological and physical requirement of the children. For effective learning of language the methods has to be good as content. There are various methods used in language learning . But activity based teaching – learning strategy is very useful in language learning. Now it is important to know what we mean by activity based teaching learning strategies and what includes in activity based teaching learning . Activity-based learningdescribes a range of pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premises include the requirement that learning should be based on doing some hands-on experiments and activities. The idea of activity-based learning is rooted in the common notion that children are active learners rather than passive recipients of information. If child is provided the opportunity to explore by their own and provided an optimum learning environment then the learning becomes joyful and long-lasting. The key feature of the activity based learning  method is that it uses child-friendly educational aids to develop self-learning and allows a child to study according to his/her aptitude and skill. Under the system, the curriculum is divided into small units, each a group of Self Learning Materials comprising attractively designed study cards for Englishscience and Social Science. When a child finishes a group of cards, he completes one "milestone". Activities in each milestone include games, rhymes, drawing, and songs to teach a letter or a word, form a sentence, do math and science, or understand a concept. The child takes up an Exam Card only after completing all the milestones in a subject. On a common chart, the milestones are arranged in the form of a ladder and the child knows exactly which milestone he completed in the last lesson. This is a child-friendly way to evaluate and reinforce learning. If a child is absent one day, he/she continues from where he/she left unlike in the old system where the children had to learn on their own what they missed out on. Therefore in this paper, the author has made an attempt to discuss about activity- based teaching- learning strategy in language

Keywords: Language learning, activity based learning, activity based teaching.

Hema R Bhadawkar

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4447 - 4462

Self-esteem is the one key ingredient that affects the level of proficiency in all fields of endeavour. Self-esteem has been correlated to: job success, school achievement, interpersonal compatibility, and general happiness (Redenbach, 1991). The author was curious to know if Self Esteem was a correlate of academic achievement of B Ed students. The participants of the study were 1037 students were drawn proportionately from 14 B Ed colleges. The findings reveal that there is a positive, negligible and significant relationship between Academic Achievement and Self-esteem among the participants. The results show the need to focus on boosting the self -image and self -esteem of students so as to enhance their confidence and levels of aspirations and through that, their motivation to become competent and professional teachers.

USING COOPERATIVE LEARNING TO ACCOMMODATE THE VAK MODEL IN CLASSROOMS

Sunanda Roy

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4481 - 4485

In a constructivist classroom the role of the teacher is not to disseminate information, but to become a facilitator to help students actively construct their own knowledge. Individual differences among students have highlighted the fact that each of us has different learning styles. There are three learning modalities or learning styles: Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic. This is also known as the VAK model. Researches have indicated the importance of utilising different instructional or teaching strategies to accommodate different learning styles and promote students’ academic achievement. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. The present paper attempts to show how the three learning styles can be accommodated using examples of Cooperative Learning teaching strategies as classroom activities. These activities encourage learners become active during the teaching learning process, which is the core feature of constructivism.

 The leadership style is the result of the philosophy, personality and experience of the leader. What the leader does determines how well he leads. A style of leadership is relatively enduring set of behavior of individual, regardless of the situation. Different situations call for different leadership style. In an emergency when there is little time to converge on an agreement and where a designated authority has significantly more experience or expertise than the rest of the team, autocratic leadership style may be most effective; however, in a highly motivated and aligned team with homogeneous level of expertise, a more democratic or laissez-faire style may be more effective. The present paper highlights the Study of Leadership Style of Teachers on the Basis of Experienceat Secondary Schools of Thane District.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS WITH INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED- A BOON OR CURSE

Gigi. K. Varghese & K Sambath Rani

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4502 - 4509

Inclusive Education denotes to facilitate all children irrespective of their strengths and weaknesses will be part of the mainstream education. The feeling of belongingness amid all community members – teachers, students and other functionaries is developed through inclusive education. Inclusive education strives to deal with the learning requirements of children with special needs, with a meticulous focus on those who are subject to being inaccessible and excluded. Lack of flexibility in curriculum, inability to tend for themselves and thus being bullied by others in the class and not getting adequate attention from the teachers are common issues. Majority of students in India irrespective of practice of inclusive education do not receive formal education. This is mainly because those children with disabilities are segregated from mainstream schools and other regular routines and social activities in normal children. Other causative factors to this condition are lack of affordability and knowledge on the type of education choices accessible to children with special needs. Inclusive education becomes a key reason for integrating a special child with the mainstream. Critical feature of inclusive education for a special needs child is, in having the acceptance and friendship of classmates. This kind of support also aids in the progress of special children and helps them to gain confidence within the school environment. This paper reflects on the attitude of teacher educators on the inclusive education of students with intellectual disability

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4545 - 4561

 The present paper is an attempt to study the status of in-service training programme for elementary teachers organized by the DIETs of Himachal Pradesh. Two mega projects in school education like SSA and RMSA are being implemented by DIETs in Himachal Pradesh. In these projects there is a provision of in-service training programme for school teachers. Every year, every DIET of Himachal Pradesh organized various types of training programme for all Categories of teachers. This paper mainly focused on in-service training of elementary teachers in terms of need assessment, planning and implementation of the training programme. Efforts had been made by the researcher to investigate the design of the training programme, use of ICT, training techniques and strategies adopted by the resource persons and teacher- educators of DIETs. In this research work efforts had also been made to assess the quality and types of training material provided by DIETs for in-service trainees. It has been observed that after the completion of training programme no mechanism is adopted for monitoring and evaluation of these training programmes. This practice leads to wastage of time and resources provided by government for organization of these training programmes. In this paper the investigator also made efforts to see whether in real way some mechanism adopted by DIETs to monitor and evaluate the in-service training programme in real class room situation after the completion of training programme. The views of Heads of elementary schools have also been assessed to validate the information gathered by the in-service teachers.

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4562 - 4565

The purpose of this paper will be to enrich mental toughness among the students in higher education. Today’s busy world doesn’t lend itself to make much time available for quiet reflection. Create time to reflect upon the students’ progress toward developing mental toughness. At the end of each day, ask the students what they’ve learned about their thoughts, emotions and behavior. Consider what they hope to improve upon or accomplish tomorrow. Developing mental toughness is a work in progress. There is always room for improvement, and at times this will seem more difficult than at other times. Reflecting upon their progress can reinforce their ability to reach their definition of success while living according to their values. This article presents information about mental toughness among the students.

ROLE OF YOGA IN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Raviraj A. Vatne

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4592 - 4595

 This paper discusses yoga as a potential tool for children to deal with stress and regulate themselves. Yoga provides training of mind and body to bring emotional balance. We argue that children and young people need such tools to listen inward to their bodies, feelings, and ideas. Yoga may assist them in developing in sound ways, to strengthen themselves, and be contributing social beings. First, we address how children and young people in today’s world face numerous expectations and constant stimulation through the Internet and other media and communication technologies. One reason why children experience stress and mental health challenges is that globalization exposes the youth all over the world to various new demands, standards, and options. There is also increased pressure to succeed in school, partly due to increased competition but also a diverse range of options available for young people in contemporary times than in the past. A main concept in our article is that yoga may help children and young people cope with stress and thus, contribute positively to balance in life, well-being, and mental health. We present research literature suggesting that yoga improves children’s physical and mental well-being. Similarly, yoga in schools helps students improve resilience, mood, and self-regulation skills pertaining to emotions and stress.

TEACHING STRATEGIES –A CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH

Ramanpreet kaur

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4662 - 4666

Constructivist approach is the most important and remarkable approach in the current scenario of teaching-learning. Constructivist believes that ‘knowledge’ is the result of individual constructions of reality. Knowledge is the result of the accurate internalization and reconstruction of external reality. (Cognitive) knowledge is constructed from one’s experience but is not an accurate representation of external reality (radical). Knowledge is the outcome of social interaction (social).The instructional issue in constructivist learning is the role of social interaction. Thus, the present paper focuses on how to facilitate cognitive processes in learners through social interaction. Instructional methods such as team teaching, brainstorming, experiential learning, co-operative learning, cognitive  learning, cognitive apprenticeship problem –based learning and discovery learning strategies require that a student learn as a part of a group. The paper also elaborate upon the characteristics of constructivist classroom and the process of constructivist learning.

What exactly a mind is? Is the mind something physical/aphysical Can minds exist only in brains or can they emerge from the operation of other complex entities ? The knowledge acquisition problem deals with how we come to know things. Is knowledge a product of ones genetic endowment or does it arise through ones interaction with the environment? How much does each of these factors contribute to any given mental ability? What is consciousness? Are we really conscious at all? The primary methods of inquiry is reasoning, both deductive and inductive. In this Paper the focus is on mind body problem.

SECURITY ANALYSIS AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4768 - 4777

 The activities of large, internationally active financial institutions have grown increasingly complex and diverse in recent years. This increasing complexity has necessarily been accompanied by a process of innovation in how these institutions measure and monitor their exposure to different kinds of risk. One set of risk management techniques that has attracted a great deal of attention over the past several years, both among practitioners and regulators, is "stress testing", which can be loosely defined as the examination of the potential effects on a firm’s financial condition of a set of specified changes in risk factors, corresponding to exceptional but plausible events. A concept of security analysis and portfolio management services has been very famous and old among various institutions. This report represents practices application of portfolio management techniques in the portfolio section. Portfolio management is an integrated and exhaustive of fundamental and technical methods which are used for calculation of annul return and earnings per share for the portfolio. Modern portfolio theory suggests that the traditional approach to portfolio analysis, selection and management may yield less than optimum results. Hence a more scientific approach is required, based on estimates of risk and return of the portfolio and the attitudes of the investor toward a risk-return trade-off stemming from the analysis of the individual securities.

A SPEECH RECOGNITION AND SYNTHESIS TOOL

Mapkar Atiqua Yunus

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4778 - 4788

 Many of the new technologies designed to help worldwide communication – e.g. telephones, fax machines, computers – have created new problems especially among the hearing and visually impaired. A person, who has severe hearing impairments, particularly to the extent in which deafness occurs, may experience difficulties communicating over a telephone as he or she is unable to hear the recipient’s responses. Conversely, someone with visual impairments would have little inconvenience using a telephone but may not be able to communicate through a computer because of the difficulties (or, in the case of blindness, impossibility) in reading the screen. The goal of this paper is to incorporate current speech recognition (speech-to-text) and speech synthesis (text-to-speech) technology into a chat room, thus, providing a solution to communication between the hearing and visually impaired that is free and does not require any additional equipment besides a computer.

USING ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES FOR GOING IN DEPTH FOR ACHIEVING RELATIVE HIGH MARKET SHARE: PSYCHOLOGICAL PRICING AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Tamseel Shakeel Shahjahan

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4799 - 4810

 Variations in the pricing approaches firms employ may partially explain why observed industry prices appear inconsistent with economic theory. Some firms may use principles developed from psychology that do not fit traditional economic models to enhance their profits beyond the basic solutions from economic theory. This paper describes more than fifty of these principles, dividing them into four categories: framing, congruency, context, and signaling. By studying these principles from psychology, researchers and policy makers can better understand the prices they observe in the marketplace. By following more of these principles, firms may be able to enhance their performance.

A LITERATURE REVIEW ON GENDER ROLE PORTRAYED IN THE NOVELS OF SHASHI DESHPANDE AND ANITA NAIR

Colonialism and the concept of patriarchy are inseparablein feminist discourse as it accentuates a relationship between inequality and injustice. Though it seems that the colonial master has vanished from the colonized countries, the impact of colonization is still felt in the form of patriarchy.it is obvious that only men are feasting the fruits of independence whereas women are still subjected to persecution by the male. To eradicate this, the women writers are writing about the predicaments of women in our society.In India the centre of family is in principle considered to be ‘woman’ Jayae Dastam(wife is the home) is a Rigvedic expression, which shows how domestic life is interwoven with the life of a ‘woman’. In Indian traditionnot only are the goddesseslike Lakshmi Saraswathi and Sakthi are adored in every household for their divinity but the women are also expected to manifest this divinity in their daily life. The burden of such expectations does become a form of oppression for the women and the men, in an astute manner, escape the scrutiny of critical eyes. Thus, the women who have to magnify themselves to become Lakshmi Saraswathi and‘Sakthi see themselves trapped by very mundane situations. Feminists views on Family:Feminists have played a major part in the ideology of the family, as they provide an alternative view to the traditional sociology of the family. According to Karen Offen “feminism emerges as a concept that can encompassboth an ideology and movement for 17sociopolitical change based on a critical analysis of male privilege and women’s subordination within any given society” (151). Feminist consciousness is the consciousness of victimization. It attempts to detect and change the more subtle and deepseated causes of women’s oppression.

Ritu Bakshi

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4705 - 4716

A change in the status of the women is a good gauge of the pattern and direction of social change. If the direction of that change is towards a more democratic distribution of roles between men and women, in tune with the constitutional directives, then the course of change is a wholesome one. If however, the various modernizing process result in an intensification of inequalities, then we are moving away from the spirit of the constitution. In the present paper, the author has discussed the status of rural women on three planks viz.., socio-cultural, society’s attitude towards the role of rural women and economic. The economic status of rural women has been assessed in relation to agricultural industrial Sector.

UNDER-GRADUATE STUDENTS AND THE ROLE OF E- LIBRARIES TO UPLIFT THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Dharambeer Singh

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4738 - 4744

 Digital libraries, designed to serve people and their information needs in the same way as traditional libraries, present distinct advantages over brick and mortar facilities: elimination of physical boundaries, round-the-clock access to information, multiple access points, networking abilities, and extended search functions. As a result, they should be especially well-suited for the disables. However, minorities, those affected by lower income and education status, persons living in rural areas, the physically challanged, and developing countries as a whole consistently suffer from a lack of accessibility to digital libraries. This paper evaluates the effectiveness and relevance of digital libraries currently in place and discusses what could and should be done to improve accessibility to digital libraries for under-graduate students.

IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON CHETANBHAGAT'S SELECTED NOVELS

Laxman Babasaheb Patil

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4758 - 4765

 The impact of the process of globalization is felt in all the fields. Literature is not exception to this. In the post 1990s’ period, the impact of globalization is seen in the literature of the developing countries. Indian literature also manifests the impact of globalization. The impact is, no doubt, reflected in all Indian regional language literatures. However, the present paper explores the impact of globalization on Chetan Bhagat’s novels. Bhagat observed the changes in cultural, traditional life-styles of the people because of globalization and he mirrored in his novels. The novels of Chetan Bhagat reflect this new philosophy of modernized Indian people.He analyses the effects of globalization on Indian culture. He has thought provoking ideas and uses simple English. Bhagat emphasizes the need of inter-caste and inter-religious marriages for bringing about unity in diversity in the country. He shows exploitations of students by private coaching classes for IIT admission. Bhagat highlights corruption in education system, politics, business etc. He emphasizes the need and importance of English language in India. Thus, Bhagat exposes and explains the problems of India after globalization. These problems are the problems of multi-cultural, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and modern society.

Mona Vij

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4758 - 4763

 The introduction of technology to the field of education has completely changed the conventional way of teaching and learning by modifying and making the enormous use of technology in the field of education. In order to make the best use of our resources, it is essential that all persons engaged in the educational enterprise and especially the teacher should understand adequately the dynamics and mechanism of educational technology and provide the best possible education to the students. Also, the favourable attitude of teachers\' towards using new technology in teaching will certainly make teachers use them in appropriate situations in teaching and thus measuring of teachers\' attitude towards using new technology in teaching is very much needed. The purpose of the current study is to understand teachers’ attitudes and also to examine the factors that encourage or impede teachers from integrating technology in educational practice. In the present study cluster random sampling procedure was adopted. The sample comprises of 200 teachers of the Government Aided and Private Secondary Schools of districts Jalandhar only.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USAGE OF FACE RECOGNITION SYSTEM

Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat

Issue: Feb-Mar, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/20 | Page No.: 4764 - 4772

 

Face recognition is one of the most challenging aspects in the field of image analysis. Face recognition has been a topic of active research since the 1980’s, proposing solutions to several practical problems. Face recognition is probably the biometric method that is used to identify people mainly from their faces. However, the recognition process used by the human brain for identifying faces is very challenging. In this paper, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based approach is proposed for face recognition. The proposed algorithm recognizes an unknown image by comparing it with the known training images stored in the database and gives information regarding the person recognized. The proposed algorithm is then compared with other known face recognition algorithms viz: Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) algorithms. It has been observed that the recognition rate of the proposed algorithm is better.
