The National Curriculum Framework, 2005 envisions the development of scientific temper through science education at each stage in class-rooms in India. But due to various reasons discussed in the paper, more often than not, science education fails to develop the scientific temper in its students. To analyse the causes, a case study of the science education in the government schools of Haryana was done and some interesting points emerged for future discourse including (a) Lack of basic amenities for science teaching in government schools (b) inefficacy of pre-service and in-service teacher training programs, (c) Curriculum is too huge to be covered through organising practical teachinglearning experiences, (d) government teachers are reluctant to take pains due to job-security. This paper hopes to open a discussion on the ways and means to make science education a “systematic experimentation as a tool to discover/verify theoretical principles, and working on locally significant projects involving science and technology” that has been envisioned to be an important part of science curriculum at senior secondary level by National Curriculum Framework, 2005.

Traditional patriarchal norms have relegated women to secondary status within the household and workplace. Gender inequality means treating men and women differently on the basis of sex. Traditionally women are considered to be weak. Therefore, she has been considered to be subordinate to men. Gender discrimination is a very serious problem in Indian society. Generation after generation we are practicing patriarchal norms in the household and even at the workplace. This gender discrimination adversely affects the health of the women, her financial status, and education and even in the political involvement. The gender discrimination is blatantly seen in various forms e.g. sexual harassment, working women are getting unequal pay for the same job, pregnancy discrimination and male get more promotional opportunities as compared to men. Even in the matter of making career even the educated woman takes a back seat and sacrifices her potential for her better half. Even in educated families too, while investing on child’s education, boy gets preference. The Indian Constitution apart from providing equality to women it also authorizes the State to initiate positive steps to neutralize the cumulative socio economic, education and political adversities faced by them. What is needed is to change the mindset of the society which is a time consuming process. Mere by enacting legislations this cannot be achieved. In order to bring about positive change about the gender discrimination there is need to have greater participation of the women in the parliament and also in the political positions as well as executive authority. Indian women have made gradual progress in recent years—but gender discrimination is still rife. There are no quick fixes. When we go to the root cause of the gender discrimination we observe that Indian society is dominated by men. It is because of the patriarchal system that we follow in India. Methods: It is student population-based study covering 200 students from of both college and school going boys and girls of Pune city selected through a systematic random sampling strategy. Interviews were conducted using separate pre-piloted structured questionnaires for girls and boys. Girls were asked how women in their family were treated and the status of women in the society. Boys were asked whether their female family members had been the victim of violence and how boys were treated at home compared to their sisters. The young girls were asked how they were discriminated in the family with their male siblings. The variables like family education, marriage, gender and economic status were the response to a set of questions for each variable. In addition, data on socioeconomic characteristics were also collected. Descriptive statistics analyses were done. The overall perception about gender inequality in our society revealed by both boys and girls is almost same. However, girls revealed that the inequality meted out to married women is much more at the in-laws place than it was at maternal side. 90-95% of students from educated family expressed that they haven’t experienced inequality because of their parents being educated and economically well off. Unfortunately girls belonging to the weaker economy and educated background did not have the same opinion as students of educated background. Conclusion: The study has revealed that gender discrimination is more in the economically weaker section. Education is also having a bearing on the gender discrimination i.e. where the family is educated there is negligible gender discrimination while in the uneducated families it is more. Therefore the twin problem of gender discrimination needs to be addressed by educating the women and make them self reliant. There is also need to change the mindset of the society for which digital media be used as it influences the viewers.

“We need quality education which depends on the quality of teaching and learning. Improvement in teaching quality is one of the most important issues in all disciplines of the studies. For this learned, skilled, dedicated, oriented, self- motivated and committed teachers are needed who would be able to transform the classroom into a wonder-room (wonderful place for learning). Teaching quality can also be upgraded through peer review of teaching, involvement of peers in learning (Collaborative Learning) and feedback given by students. The practice of appointing a Supervisor for a new teacher as in the United States should be implemented in India. Opportunities must be provided to the teachers to participate in in-service training programmes. Quality is never an accident, it is to be practiced. Teachers, policy makers, Universities and the Governments would take active steps for enhancing quality in teaching. This paper attempts at making some suggestions for enriching the quality of teaching, particularly in English and of all subjects in general”.

Lazear, D. G. (1994) in his book, “pathway of learning, teaching students and parent about multiple intelligences” describes bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence, a process of knowing that occurs through physical movement and performance (learning by doing). It employs such tools as dance, drama, physical games, mime role-play, body language, physical exercise and inventing. Bruce Campbell (2008) in his book, “Handbook of Differentiated Instruction Using the Multiple Intelligences Lesson Plans & More” describes bolily-kinaesthetic intelligence as the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of timing, and the perfection of skills through mind-body union. Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople exhibit highly developed kinaesthetic intelligence. This paper focuses outcome of an experimental study on effectiveness of toolkit of life skill education programme on Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence of secondary school students. The experiments were conducted in more than 20 secondary schools. Purposive and Convenient sampling technique has been used for drawing the sample. Secondary schools affiliated to SSC board were considered for the study. The project was carried out in English medium and co- education type of schools. These findings of the study indicate that the gain scores of experimental and control groups differ significantly. It can thus be inferred that intervention programme organized has helped to develop Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence in the students of standard VIII of the experimental group. It can be inferred that the contribution of intervention of the educational programme (Toolkit) in the development of Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence is 13.41%. Thus it can be concluded that the intervention of the educational programme (Toolkit) has helped to enhance Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence among VIII standard students.

The position of rural women in society as well in family; becomes directly proportional to the level of education. Secondly, it is seen that education plays an important role in the enhancement of status/position of women. In the light of facts, it may be concluded that the educated working women have higher position in the Indian society in comparison to non working women. The women are doing jobs due to their individual desires, personal attitudes, the curiosity for getting higher position in society, for utilizing the time, to do the economic help of their families, to take benefit of their education etc. The women of all the caste categories are in the favour of the implementation of the social legislations made for the uplift of the women. The status of rural women is enhanced due to the impact of the social provisions and legislations. Today the constitution grants immense power to the women. She has the right or equal status in social, cultural, economic and political fields. The lag was the will at her own part to claim equality with them. It was the world of her own disbelief and ignorance which always kept her as the shadow of her man. As such the first step towards up gradation is to educate her and made her conscious of her position and status.

The subjective and objective phenomena associated with each of these stages have been described in slightly different ways by various observers, but they all agree in seeing a marked likeness between these processes and the ordinary course of insightful learning. No one can create anything without accepting a task or imposing it upon oneself, exhibiting some drive toward the implied goal, discovering essential relations, and expressing one’s purpose in some objective form. These are also the features found in the usual types of learning and in every challenge to the critical or reflective capacity of the individual. The major contrasts center about variations in shading and emphasis, especially those concerned with the difference between assimilating notions already before one and grouping one’s way forward under the necessity of self – expression to the achievement of a fresh synthesis.

Research has demonstrated that Citizenship like behaviours promote the effective functioning of any given organization. (Organ, 1988, 1990 & Borman and Motowidlo, 1993). Research by Morrison (1994); Pond, Nacoste, Mohr & Rodriguez (1997); and Lam, Hui and Law (1999) reveals that Organizational Citizenship Behaviours are an integral part of an employee’s role responsibilities. Successful organizations need their employees to perform more than their usual job responsibilities. This necessitates the demonstration of Extra- Role Behaviour, which is termed as Organizational Citizenship Behaviour. The present study focusses on Organizational Citizenship Behaviours demonstrated by Secondary School Teachers. The authors were curious to understand the level of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour 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 difference in the Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) of Secondary School Teachers (SST) on the basis of their gender, subject of specialization and qualifications.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This paper analyses how the issues of the politics of controversy, vigilantism and academic censorship are dealt in Githa Hariharan‟s „In Times of Siege‟. In the novel, Hariharan puts the narrative of Basava in centre and implicitly refer to the fissures found in historiography and mythical narratives of India. Covering the two month of troubled times in the life of Prof. Shivmurthy, she speaks of the academic freedom in India that has often been subjected to ordeal due to certain controversial calls for censorship by diverse political, social, religious and ethnic fundamentalist organizations and communities. Given the opportunism and aggressiveness on the part of fundamentalist forces in such a situation, the creative and academic space becomes a kind of battlefield where history, art and culture are to be contested in an over-zealous fashion. „In Times of Siege‟ exposes how politics of ideology has always been a potent way mobilizing un-official historical and mythical discourse and narratives prevalent in the modern day India. Political overtones of the book become evident when we find a conscientious professor pitted against the ruthless forces of bigotry, communalism, fanaticism and narrow-mindedness embodied by the group Ithihas Suraksha Manch. Their demand of the subtraction of Prof. Shiv‟s lesson on Basava shows how the forces of such kind aim at creating uproar by endorsing the fabricated hurt to their religious and cultural assumptions. They desire hegemony for having the remote control of the historical imagination of academic institutions to sanction a culturally-controlled version of history and myths in national curriculum.

Although there is widespread support for inclusion at a philosophical level, there are some concerns that the policy of inclusion is difficult to implement because teachers are not sufficiently well prepared and supported to work in inclusive ways. Inclusion requires teachers to accept the responsibility for creating schools in which all children can learn and feel they belong. In this task, teachers are crucial because of the central role they play in promoting participation and reducing underachievement, particularly with children who might be perceived as having difficulties in learning. The paper throws light on the definition of inclusion, rationale and rights, need for a systematic approach for identifying excluded groups, Key elements in the shift towards inclusion – Resource & Recourse as well as the lens for inclusion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
