Effectiveness of ‘Toy-based Pedagogy’ Towards the Inculcation of Freedom Values Of India in Regional Context for Secondary Level Classes
Get PDFWith millennium educational goals set by various countries, novel innovative methods to transact curriculum is gaining momentum. It is rather challenging for educationists to inculcate knowledge coupled with values. As educationists we all know that affective domain is taking a back seat in the present educational context. Freedom values in this context specify the essence of some marked legacy and contributions left by our freedom fighters during the three successive phases of freedom struggle. These values have been completely and conveniently forgotten as more than seven and half decades have elapsed after our independence.NEP 2020 suggests that Experiential learning could be adopted at all stages including the secondary stage as it provides hands-on experience. Toy-based pedagogy, sports-integrated learning, story-based pedagogy etc make learning joyful and interesting. This article is intended to suggest ideas on how the freedom movement in India and regional-level contributions can be made interesting, especially concerning personalities who took active participation in all three phases of the freedom struggle and their marked significance through making simple toys or games to inculcate thorough understanding
Machine Learning Utilization in Oncology for Precise Diagnosis and Informed Treatment
Get PDFMachine learning (ML) technology has rapidly advanced and transformed sectors of today\u27s world, healthcare specifically oncology, has benefited from such technology in recent years more than any other sector. This paper reviews the implementation of ML approaches in the field of oncology, specifically for precision diagnosis and personalized treatment, both of which are vital for dealing with the high level of complexity and heterogeneity associated with cancer. ML models are improving the accuracy of cancer diagnoses and prediction of patient-specific responses to treatments and enabling novel target discovery. Yet, the adoption of ML approaches in oncology is not devoid of difficulties. Such systems come with challenges such as data privacy, ethics, algorithmic biases, and technicalities such as model explainability and deployment in existing medical infrastructure, which this paper attempts to address However, the ML tools have a huge potential to change the way we practice and help us treat patients more efficiently, effectively and in a more patient-centered way.
Then, the article discusses what the future holds for ML-driven oncology, such as big data capabilities, improvements in deep learning, and to for interdisciplinary collaborations between AI developers, oncologists and researchers. As this landscape continues to evolve, such considerations and innovation will be key in addressing the relevant ethical and practical challenges of machine learning to deliver on the promise of transforming cancer diagnosis and treatment
The Role of Law in Empowering Women in India
Get PDFThe law has the power to build the India of the future one in which every woman is empowered to change her fate. Legal frameworks have played a crucial role in the longstanding oppression of women, giving women the necessary tools to demand their rights, fight against discriminatory practices, and access opportunities for personal and professional growth. From constitutional provisions guaranteeing equality and non-discrimination to progressive legislation such as the Hindu Succession Act, the Dowry Prohibition Act, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, laws have consistently sought to dismantle patriarchal structures and ensure justice for women. These measures not only protect women from exploitation and violence but also affirm their autonomy, dignity, and role as equal contributors to society. Despite the progressive nature of these laws, the journey toward empowerment is fraught with challenges. Socio-cultural barriers, lack of awareness among women about their rights, and inadequate enforcement mechanisms often undermine the impact of legal provisions. Intersectional disadvantages faced by women from marginalized communities further complicate the realization of empowerment. However, the judiciary has played a proactive role in bridging these gaps, with landmark judgments such as Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan and Shayara Bano v. Union of India reinforcing women’s constitutional rights and setting new precedents for gender justice.
While significant progress has been made, true empowerment requires more than legal reforms; it demands a cultural transformation that promotes gender sensitivity and equity at all levels. This necessitates collaborative efforts from the government, civil society, and individuals to strengthen enforcement mechanisms, enhance awareness, and address systemic barriers. The role of law, therefore, extends beyond providing protection; it acts as a catalyst for societal change, ensuring that women have the freedom, resources, and support to lead empowered lives
A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON COMPETITION ANXIETY AMONG PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND NON-PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS
Get PDFThis study investigates the differences in competition anxiety between physical education and non-physical education students in Uttar Pradesh. A total of 100 male students aged 20 to 27 years were randomly selected, with 50 participants from physical education backgrounds and 50 from non-physical education backgrounds. The study employed the Sports Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) developed by Rainer Martens to measure competition anxiety as the dependent variable. An independent ‘t’ test was conducted to analyze the data at a 0.05 level of confidence. The findings revealed that physical education students exhibited significantly higher competition anxiety levels (M = 26.71, SD = 0.91) compared to non-physical education students (M = 18.95, SD = 1.08). Factors such as frequent exposure to competitive environments, pressure to perform, and fear of failure contribute to this heightened anxiety. The study underscores the need for psychological interventions such as mindfulness training, relaxation techniques, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help students manage competition-related stress. Future research should examine gender-based variations, cultural influences, and the effectiveness of anxiety management interventions.

Digital Literacy and Healthy Technology Use Among College Students in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu: A Statistical Analysis of Usage Patterns and Psychological Correlates
Get PDFThis study examines the relationship between digital literacy, technology usage patterns, and mental well-being among college students in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu. With India\u27s higher education sector witnessing rapid digitalization post-NEP 2020, understanding healthy technology habits becomes crucial. A sample of 400 undergraduate students (18-22 years) from arts, science, and engineering streams across five colleges participated in a mixed-method study employing the Digital Literacy Scale (DLS) and the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIUQ). Descriptive statistics revealed that 72% of students spent 4+ hours daily on non-academic digital activities, with social media (68%), OTT platforms (45%), and gaming (32%) being primary engagements. Correlation analysis showed a significant negative relationship between digital literacy scores and problematic usage (r = -0.51, p<0.01), indicating that digitally literate students demonstrated healthier habits. Regression models controlling for demographic factors explained 38% variance in academic performance (β=0.42 for productive tech use vs. β=-0.36 for excessive entertainment use, p<0.01). Cluster analysis identified three distinct user profiles: "balanced" (28%), "academic-focused" (34%), and "at-risk excessive users" (38%). The latter group reported 2.3 times higher stress levels (p<0.05) and lower sleep quality scores (M=5.2 vs. 7.1 in balanced users). Gender differences emerged, with male students showing higher gaming addiction (t=3.21, p<0.01) while female students reported more social media-induced anxiety (χ²=6.45, p<0.05). The findings underscore the need for institutional digital wellness programs, suggesting that colleges integrate technology self-regulation modules into curricula. Policy implications include developing region-specific digital competency frameworks for Tamil Nadu\u27s higher education sector to balance technological integration with student well-being.

DIGITAL EXPOSURE, EMOTIONAL REGULATION, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FATIGUE DURING COVID-19: A REVIEW-BASED STUDY OF INDIAN WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH
No full textThe coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created a crisis in India that is unprecedented in terms of the amount of information available. During the length of time during which people were required to remain inside their homes due primarily because of limitations placed on them by the pandemic, they were subject to constant digital updates, engagement through social media, and other methods of communicating through digital technology. This availability of information has greatly impacted the mental health of many people throughout India (particularly women), who have been impacted more than men by the COVID-19 pandemic due to their caregiving roles, disproportionate amounts of emotional labour, increased levels of reliance on family and friends for social support and care, and the consequences of cultural norms associated with women regarding silence, endurance and caregiving. Digital platforms provide a primary means of accessing information, connecting to others, and obtaining reassurance, but they also serve as stress amplifiers to the extent that they increase access to fear, misinformation, social comparison, and emotional contagion. The current study examines how the cumulative experiences of using digital technology, during the COVID-19 pandemic, have influenced the psychological distress and emotional exhaustion experienced by Indian women.
This research is a narrative-themed review which includes entirely secondary sources (including peer-reviewed journals, open-access papers, and other publically available policy/program documents) that are related to Indians. The report presents a summary of the evidence across four themes: women\u27s digital exposure and usage patterns; the psychological mechanisms between digital and emotional distress; emotional regulation and coping pathways; and digital well-being interventions during public health crises.
The study demonstrated that psychological distress can originate from multiple sources. The factors that contributed to distress were related specifically to how their digital use (e.g., high amount of time spent on screens) lead to some of the following outcomes (e.g., experiencing multiple forms of psychological distress because of information overload/ fear- amplified/digital misinformation exposure/ruminative cycles/sleep disturbance/social comparison stress). In addition to the aforementioned causes of psychological distress, there are also cultures or structural factors relating to feelings of having caregiving responsibilities or household surveillance/poverty or inequality through digital means/limited access to good sources of credible information and/or resources to receive help that compounded the causes of psychological distress. The conclusion of this research suggests that while there is a major influence by women\u27s gendered and institutional conditions on the mental health outcome of women during this pandemic; that it has a lesser relationship to the individual vulnerability of these same women. In this way, improving women\u27s digital well-being can be done through the development of gender-sensitive intervention frameworks that will incorporate digital literacy, household/community supports, privacy protections, and access to tele-mental health services. The integration of these approaches is necessary to decrease emotional fatigue and improve women\u27s resilience in future crises.

Causes of Mathematics Anxiety: Cognitive–Affective Models
Get PDFMathematics anxiety is a pervasive, debilitating affect that undermines motivation, learning, and attainment across schooling and adulthood. This review synthesizes cognitive–affective accounts of its causes—self-efficacy, expectancy–value, and mindset—and maps how beliefs and appraisals precipitate anxiety and avoidance. Low mathematics self-efficacy biases threat appraisal, heightens worry, and constrains working-memory resources, triggering demotivation and withdrawal. Expectancy–value processes link low expectations of success with high perceived costs and instrumental value, producing heightened arousal and defensive disengagement when tasks are important yet daunting. Fixed-mindset beliefs further amplify evaluative threat, converting errors into evidence of limited ability, while growth-mindset orientations frame struggle as information for improvement. Across models, socio-cultural and instructional contexts (e.g., timed testing, rigid pedagogy, anxious role models) shape beliefs, thereby sustaining an anxious-academic loop. The review integrates evidence from school through higher education, noting co-occurrence with broader anxiety and the heterogeneity of risk trajectories. It also summarizes assessment approaches—MARS and abbreviated variants, AMAS, MAS-UK, and problem-solving-specific tools—highlighting psychometric support and use for screening and monitoring. Implications emphasize theory-aligned interventions: scaffolded mastery experiences and credible peer modeling to strengthen efficacy; expectancy–value re-framing that elevates utility and interest while reducing perceived cost; and mindset-consistent practices that de-stigmatize error, prioritize process feedback, and remove unnecessary time pressure. Multi-modal designs combining cognitive-behavioral strategies, hands-on inquiry, and collaborative structures show promise for interrupting avoidance cycles, improving performance, and broadening access to STEM pathways. Future work should pursue longitudinal, diverse-sample tests of mechanism, implementation fidelity, and context, to refine causal inferences and guide equitable, scalable practice. Worldwide effectively.
