An Objective-Based Evaluation of Rehbar-e-Taleem Scheme in Kashmir Division
Get PDFEducation is considered to be the most effective instrument for
equalizing opportunities and reducing disparities between human beings. In a
democratic society like ours the thrust is to equalize and enlarge the coverage
and improve quality of education in educational institutions, so that a person
from any caste, creed, sex, region, or economic strata would be able to cultivate
his potential to the fullest. No doubt huge money has been spent on education
to eradicate illiteracy but still a large chunk of population remains in the grip of
illiteracy. In spite of launching the programme of universalization of
elementary education, only one third of the population of children in the age
group of 6-14 years receives formal education, while others either are not
admitted to the school or they leave school prematurely i.e. before attaining the
elementary education.
According to the Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, 1948, “Every one has the right to education; Education shall be free, at
least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be
compulsory. Technical education and professional education shall be made
generally available. Education shall be directed to the full development of the
human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship
among all nations, racial or religious groups and shall further, the activities of the
United Nations for the maintenance of peace”.
Education is as old as the human race. From cradle to grave, it is a never
ending process of inner growth and development. Education, in real sense, is to
humanize humanity and to make life progressive, cultured and civilized. It is
very important for the progress of the individual and society. It is through
education that man develops his thinking and reasoning, problem solving,
positive sentiments and skills, good values and attitudes. It is through education
only, that man is transformed into human, social, moral and spiritual being, as he learns something everyday, every moment. His entire life is education.
Hence education is a continuous and dynamic process. It is concerned with
ever growing man in an ever growing society. Education is considered to be the
most effective instrument for developing the best in the man and reducing
disparities between human beings. When we say that education is the birthright
of an individual, it means that it is not confined to any particular nation.
Primary education is considered as the first step to entire educational
setup. It is the first and the most important stage for physical, social, mental
and aesthetic development of a child. As far as the primary stage is concerned,
it is infact the foundation stage for the development of basic competencies.
Primary education plays an important role in laying the proper foundation of
child’s cultural, emotional, intellectual, moral, physical, social, spiritual and
balanced personalities. It further contributes to national development also. So
the development and progress of a country depends heavily on the
universalization of primary education in that country. Universalization of
Elementary Education (UEE) in that country means making education available
to all children in the age group of six to fourteen (6 – 14) years or in the classes
(I – VIII) and to provide opportunities for this education through formal and
non formal means of education. It signifies that education is for all and not for
a select few. This concept of UEE accepts that education is the birthright of
every child irrespective of one’s religion, caste, colour, and creed or sex etc.
This also means that all children of the country belonging to the rich and poor,
living in towns and in rural areas and in places which are accessible with
difficulty have to be provided with the facilities of elementary education.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is an effort to universalize elementary
education by community ownership of school system. It is a response to the
demand for quality based education all over the country. It is an effort that
involves the Panchayati Raj Institutions, school management committees in the
management of elementary school. The central and state government will together implement Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in partnership with local
community signify the priority attached to this programme. National SSA
Mission has been setup with Prime Minister and Human Resource
Development Minister as the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson respectively.
The states have been asked to form implementation societies for UEE under
patronization of the Chief Minister and Education Minister. According to the
mission the SSA will not disturb the existing structures in states and districts
but would only try to bring convergence in all these efforts. SSA has been
launched to achieve following goals.
To provide access to all children in the age group of 6 – 14 years through
formal primary school and through other alternatives such as Education
Guarantee Scheme (EGS) centers, and innovate education and back to
school camp by 2003.
All children should complete five years of primary education by 2007.
All children should complete eight years of elementary schooling by
2010.
Focus on elementary education of satisfactory quality with emphasis on
education for all.
Bridge all gender and social category gaps at primary stage by 2007.
Provision of elementary education of satisfactory quality for all by 2010.
Universal retention by 2010.
‘Rehbar’ traditionally means guide, the one who pulls us out from the
darkness and leads us to light. A guide “Rehbar” inculcates in a human being
the spirit to learn. A guide infuses hope into the hopeless. If the ancient
scriptures are to be taken into consideration, the “Rehbar” can be put on the
same pedestal as a “Guru” in the Shashtras making him equivalent to guide. In
turn, making the disciples follow him with reverence
Personality Structure, Creative Potential and Study Habits of Academically Gifted Students with Special Reference to 10+2 Level Students
Get PDFAchievement is the end- product of all educational endeavours. The main concern of all educational efforts is to see that the learner achieves. After exploring the concept of achievement in the cognitive, effective and psychomotor aspects of human behaviour researchers have probed further and have attempted to understand the black box of achievement. The studies have brought to light the correlates of achievement and paved the way for control and manipulation of variables for quality management of achievement.
The world is becoming more and more competitive. Quality of performance has become the key factor for personal progress. Parents desire that their children should climb the ladder of performance to as high a level as possible. This desire for a high level of achievement puts a lot of pressure on students, teachers, schools and in general the educational system itself. Thus a lot of time and effort of the schools are used for helping students to achieve better in their scholastic endeavours and it should be so because high achievers are asset to the society. Academic achievement is of paramount importance, particularly in the present socio-economic and cultural contexts. The effectiveness of any educational system is gauged to the extent the pupils involved in the system achieve. Generally, achievement refers to the scholastic or academic achievement of the student at the end of an educational program.
Personality is the total picture of man`s organized behavior especially characterized by his fellowmen in the characteristics pattern of behavior, cognition, emotions which may be experienced by the individual manifested to others. Individual through his continuous reactions attempts to adjust himself to his
A
environment. Individual‟s moment which he adopt himself to the environment is his personality. Personality is the product of its own functioning in that particular environment.
Personality has physical as well as biological implications but social factor cannot be ignored. The outer dimension of personality include his physique, talents, abilities, temperament, disposition etc. inner dimensions include an individual‟s drive, emotional tendencies, aspiration level, attitudes and self concept. Outer dimensions can be observed by others and inner dimensions are difficult to judge from outside but better known to the person himself. A habit is just a behavior that is repeated until it is automatic. A habit is something that is done on a scheduled, regular and planned basis that is not relegated to a second place or optional place in one`s life. It is simply done, no reservations, no excuses, no exceptions. Study habits are the ways that we study. The habits that we have formed during our schools years. Study habits can be „good‟ which means they work and help us to make good grades – or “bad” which just means they don`t work and don`t help us make good grades. Good study habits include being organized, keeping good notes and reading textbook, listening in class, and working every day. Bad study habits include skipping class, not doing work, watching too much TV or playing video games instead of studying, and losing work. Without good study habits, a students cannot succeed. To succeed, students must be able to appropriately assimilate course content, digest it, reflect on it, and be able to articulate that information in written and/or oral form. According to J. P. Guildford (1965) creativity is a form of divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a kind of mental operation in which we think in different directions. Sometimes searching and sometimes seeking Variety. Divergent thinking leads to novel responses to a given stimuli. The unique feature of the divergent thinking is that a variety of responses are produced, to discover and define complex abilities that together make up creative thinking. The various
variables of creativity are as: Sensitivity, Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, Redefinition and Elaboration
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
