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. However, OCB differed significantly on the basis of their age, experience and type of school.
