On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs.1000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series. This is required to tackle counterfeiting Indian banknotes, to effectively nullify black money hoarded in cash and curb funding of terrorism with fake notes. The present study examines the impact of demonetization decision on gold prices in India. It is studied by comparing the data of gold prices for 30 days, 15 days and 7 days before and after November 8, 2016. The data consists of daily prices of gold obtained from World Gold Council database. Paired t-test and wilcoxon signed ranks test are used to study the statistical significance of the results. It has been found that demonetization decision has significantly reduced the price of gold in India. It may be due to the reason that after demonetization announcement, income tax department tightened the noose around the jewellers as people rushed to convert their old currency notes (Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000) into precious metal gold. It resulted in dropping the price of gold in India in short run.

Jayanti Dalal was an eminent playwright, critic and prose writer of Gujarati literature. His sense of employing experiments with form and techniques made him somewhat distinct writer. All his literary works are thought-provoking manifesting unique characteristics through analysis of human perspective. The story The Darkness Descends (Jagmohane Shu Jovu?) focuses on the feelings of Jagmohan, the hero of the story who loses his eyesight. The writer seems to reveal the truth that one should live with rational honesty. He aims at understating the human mind. The writer constructs a story through psychological truth, which doesn’t seem mere a fancy tale. The writer has conducted an experiment of a ‘story within story’ by using comparable Japanese story. The writer applies here his sense of experimentation with a view to comparing and analyzing the self with the others.

This article presents an overview of co-operative learning, an instructional technique developed to enhance academic achievement through social and inter-personal skill development. Co-operative learning plays a paramount role in education, as it is one of the most widespread and fruitful areas of research and theory. Over the past several decades, it has attracted growing interest due to the vast amount of research conducted in education context as well as in social and clinical settings. The central tenet of co-operative learning is that through interaction and dialogue with others around a topic of study, achievement of students increases, attitude towards learning improves, students learn and retain more information than through other more intra-personal, instructional methodologies (i.e. teacher directed/lecture style formats). Research points to all of these positive effects, improved inter-group, inter-ethnic, gender co-operation as well as increased self-esteem and confidence for student population.

Teacher development has emerged over the last decade as a recognised area of study. Teacher development means, in terms of teachers’ own understandings of how they go on learning and becoming better at what they are doing. Teacher development is a process, not an event. It involves change over time and is achieved in stages. The stages are related to teachers’ experience gained in instructional and management practices over their career. Teachers must understand what it is to be an effective 21st century teacher with the abilities to develop the necessary skills. Effective educational leadership helps to make a difference in improving learning. Leadership is for everyone and as a result everyone is empowered to learn. Teachers are empowered to inquire into their practice to solve learning and teaching problems. As educational leaders, classroom teachers, students and parents will agree, 21st century teaching carries with a complicated mix of challenges and opportunities. Challenges include the issues of teacher turnover, accountability, changing student populations and student expectations, increasing budget pressures, and intense demand to build students’ 21st century skills. Thus, the present paper attempts to analyse Teacher development: Towards educational leadership in 21st century.

What strikes you first about Chetan Bhagat’s novels is the fact that this author writes about Indians and for Indians. His characters are young, ambitious and passionate and have the same moral, social and religious dilemmas as many of the young Indians today. At the same time their context and sensibility too is unabashedly Indian. if one examines the studies on attitude and behaviour of youth, all these refer to the context of national transformation from a “traditional” to “modern” society. Bhagat has remained the mouthpiece of Indian youth and representative of India. His writing comes out of his keen observation of his surroundings. As a result his writing is coloured by the sensibilities of modern people and world. No writer can escape from the world in which he or she lives. Taine’s theory of Race, Milieu and Moment is very aptly and appropriately allocable in the works of Chetan Bhagat. Bhagat‟s popularity among collegiate shows his deep understand regarding college life in particular and modern life in general. The present research paper aims at studying the ways in which Chetan Bhagat has portrayed the Indian Youth with all their dreams, aspirations, traumas, and turmoil with special reference to One Night @ the Call Centre. The reciprocal relationship between society and modern youth has also been taken into account to reach to honest findings.

In Mukaa Sub-county, instructional supervision by principals is yet to be effectively realized. In many cases, teachers do not complete their syllabus and students also register low academic grades in both internal and national examinations. Thus, the purpose of the study was to assess the influence of principals’ administrative experience on effectiveness in instructional supervision in public secondary schools in Mukaa Sub-county, Makueni County, Kenya. The study was guided by the path-goal theory. The study adopted correlation research design. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the respondents. Validity was established through expert judgment. Data were descriptively analyzed using frequencies and percentages and inferentially using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Test Analysis with the help of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 23) and presented using tables and charts. The study established that many secondary schools register low grades in national examinations (KCSE) and that principals’ administrative experience influence principals’ effectiveness in provision of instructional supervision. However, many secondary schools are headed by principals with relatively few years of administration. Thus, the study recommends that the Ministry of Education through Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) should promote teachers to positions of school principals based on merit and above all the number of years one has served progressively in positions of headship such as Heads of Departments and Deputy Principals.

Academic performance of a student is of paramount importance in every academic institution. The focus of this study was to address the effect of instructional media on student academic performance in CRE in public secondary schools in Kenya. The student’s performance in CRE remains a top priority for educators in CRE because when students get good grades, they become competitive in the world of work and may have better employment opportunities. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and the system theory to investigate on how instructional media affects the academic performance of CRE students. The researcher used simple random sampling techniques to sample 10 schools to be used in the study out of the 75 secondary schools in Machakos Sub-County. Proportional stratified technique was used to select a total of 300 CRE students from the 10 selected public secondary schools. Purposive sampling was applied to sample 10 Form Three CRE teachers. The study used questionnaires as the research instruments. There was a questionnaire for students and the teachers. The study established that majority (50%) of the teachers indicated that CRE performance in their school was very good. In addition majority (56%) of the students indicated that the CRE performance in their school was good. The study found that the use of instructional media will enhance learner’s performance as the lessons are always interesting, it makes the topic to be better understood, and also the issues become more familiar to the students. The instructional media improves learner’s motivation thus increasing performance. Further it also improves the learner’s memory as they are able to remember issues easily. The study established that majority (60%) of the respondents indicated that they did not face challenges when using instructional media in teaching. The study concluded that the performance of CRE was good due to the use of instructional media in teaching and learning. The study also concluded that the instructional media the teacher mostly used in teaching CRE was boards followed by textbook. It is therefore clear that the schools in Machakos have inadequate instructional materials needed for learning. The study recommended that the principals should emphasis on the importance of instructional media with the aim of raising the academic performance of the school as it has been proved that instructional media in teaching and learning enhanced the performance of the students.

Case Based Reasoning is explained by Kolodner (1992) as a reasoner remembers previous situations and solutions similar to the current one and uses them to help solve the new problem. If studentteachers are taught to adopt Case Based Reasoning as an approach in solving classroom management problems and then when they are faced with new problems as beginner teachers this approach will help them to study previous situations and understand how they were solved. Therefore, the idea is to develop in student-teachers with necessary abilities to solve classroom management problems through a Case Based Reasoning approach. This pedagogical intervention in teacher education programme may help in developing quality educators. To successfully adopt this approach, a case library should be constructed. A case library consists of genuine stories about how experienced in-service school teachers have solved classroom management problems. These stories are to be supported with necessary theoretical inputs, prior experiences, expert opinions and worked examples extrapolating how the experienced teacher found the solution to the problem. In a case library the stories are categorised and indexed. These stories in the case library could be accessed and could retrieve similar cases which are then for the perusal of the learner to enrich their knowledge. Taking these prior experiences as a base, the novice teachers can make informed decisions by adopting or adapting or even find another solution to the problem thus promoting Case Based Reasoning.

This paper is a theoretical overview on four theories of classroom management. The paper explains in detail the meaning of classroom management by studying the theories propounded by B.F. Skinner (Operant Conditioning), William Glasser (Choice Theory), Froyen and Iverson (Schoolwide and Classroom Management) and L. Canter and M. Canter (Assertive Discipline). All these theories give distinct thoughts on the concept classroom management. After going through several studies and theories, it is distinct that components or dimensions of classroom management cannot be restricted to certain behaviour reinforcements, strategies, rules and consequences, management skills, etc. These theories will help a teacher identify various classroom management styles and adapt their principles into an eclectic theory and then implement in the classroom. Thus, giving teacher an opportunity to work efficiently to create a positive learning environment in the classroom.

Sex composition of population is one of the important biological composition of population. The proportion of males to females in a given population usually expressed as the number of the males per thousand. The knowledge of sex ratio is essential for the understanding the conditions of women in the society. A decline or low number of female population in the total population is strongly suggestive of the neglect of girl children, sex selective abortions and traditional attitudes of the society. The analysis of sex ratio is more important. It was using the census data of pune district and Maharashtra 1971 to 2011. In the 1981 the sex ratio of the India was 933 and 986 Maharashtra. In 1991 the sex ratio was 927 and 934 for India and Maharashtra. In 2001 the sex ratio was 933 and 922 for India and Maharashtra. In 2011 sex ratio was 940 and 929 for India and Maharashtra. The trend of the sex ratio was decline at the state level but in the district lead to higher sex ratio. The sex ratio of the study region is compared with Maharashtra state; district sex ratio is always higher than Maharashtra in some time.

According to J. P. Naik teacher education means an effective professional education system which can be modified traditional methods of teaching into dynamic methods and will initiate the teachers to the needed revolution in teaching and lay foundation for their future professional growth. The Education Commission (1964-66) discussed at length various issues related to teacher education. It recommended professionalization of teacher education, development of integrated programmes, comprehensive college of education and internship. The Education Commission says,” of all different factors which influence the quality of education and its contribution to national development, quality, competence and character of teachers are undoubtedly the most significant”. The major weaknesses have been successively pointed out by University Commission, Secondary Commission and Education Commission. It has been observed that the existing system of teacher education is rigid and static. Keeping in view the inadequacies of teacher education programme commission suggest some drastic changes starting from its objectives, content and methodology etc.

The highly sensitive issues of ecological concern needs are debated these days on an elevated note because we have one earth to live and earth to save, though the greater development in the field of environmental geography has been witnessed since the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the subject has a very long history. The roots of this discipline can be traced in the works of the Greeks and Romans scholars works like Herodotus, Aristotle and Eratosthenes are replete with example of relationship between man and physical environment owing to modern economic monetization, materialism, exquisiteness, avariciousness, physical greediness which has become the order of the day the earth’s repositories is being depleted profoundly. Thus our divine planet is no longer the benign Mother Earth but a quarry for material utilization and over exploitation government of India. Urbanization is taking place at a faster rate in India. Population residing in urban areas in India, according to 1901 census, it was 11.4 percent. This cont increase to 28.58 percent according to 2001 census and crossing 30 percent as per 2011 census, starting at 31.16 percent. According to a survey by UN States, the World Population Report in 2007, by 3030, 40.76 percent of country’s population, Urbanization is expected to reside in urban areas. As per World Bank, India, along with China, Indonesia, Nigeria, and the U.S, will lead the world’s urban population surge by 2050. This research paper aims to highlight environmental planning sustainable and development in India challenges with special focus on environmental issues like air, water, land and noise pollution, problems of housing, traffic congestion, slums.

The present paper aims to analyse the total and sex-wise causes of dynamic growth and distribution of population. Population growth is inevitable outcome of the demographic transition, primarily as a result of high fertility and secondarily mortality declines and mobility in view of rapidly growing or population explosion. Growth of population is the change in the number in a particular area between two given points of time. As described in the preceding paper, the population of our ancestors, a few million years ago, was confined to Africa and numbered only in Lakh. By the time our ancestors invented agriculture, the information started passing from generation to generation. The transmission of knowledge about hunting, gathering and preparation of food helped in expansion of agriculture and growth of population. The growth of population was, however, not continuous after the agricultural Revolution. Civilization rose, flourished and disintegrated; periods of good and bad weather occurred; and famine and war took their toll. Despite fluctuations in the birth and death rates, agriculture permitted the existence not only of higher population densities, and settled village life, but also of large scale cooperative ventures, specialization of labour, development of crafts and social stratification, the growth and development of irrigation and the emergence of towns and cities concentrated of economic power in the hands of numerically small elite. The major turning point in the population growth came with the Industrial Revolution, led the systematization of production with the help of urban power-driven machine. At the time of Industrial Revolution, urban population increased rapidly, and living standards in new industrial towns were abysmal, especially for the poorer families. Families become as the unit of production, goods were produced for sale in regional, national and international markets. There occurred to migrate from rural to urban areas and the productivity per capita increased substantially. The impact of migration on population (dynamics) size and age structure of population has been studied. Existing studies have paid a great deal of attention to population growth and its social and economic implications.

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.

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.

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. The paper also elaborate upon the characteristics of constructivist classroom and the process of constructivist learning.
