 Metacognition is essential to successful learning because it enables individuals to better manage theircognitive skills and to determine weaknesses that can be corrected by constructing new cognitive skills. Promoting metacognition begins with building awareness among learners that metacognition exits, differs from cognition and increases academic success. Hence the present study was undertaken by the investigator to explore the metacognitive awareness among Higher Secondary Students. A sample of 445 students (209 Boys and 236 Girls) of XI Standard was selected by using simple random sampling technique for the investigation. The standardized tool ‘Metacognitive Awareness Inventory’ (MAI) developed by Schraw and Dennison (1994) has been used as a measure of metacognitive awareness of students. The survey method was used to collect the data from three types of managements such as Government, Govt. Aided and Private Higher Secondary Schools in Chennai City. Mean, Standard Deviation,‘t’ test and Analysis of Variance have been employed to analyze the data. The findings of the study reveals that the Metacognitive Awareness level among Higher Secondary Students were found to be high and there was significant difference in the Metacognitive Awareness based on their Gender and Type of School Management. Further it was found that there was no significant difference in the Metacognitive Awareness based on their Residential Locality and Family Income.

 After every international sports competition players of our country return back bare hand or
comes with medals much less in number as expected by us, as a result we all citizens of
country feel very disappointed. It is the media who creates hype before games evoke the
expectation level of country and after failure start criticising them. Everybody in this country
start suggesting that how Indian players can earn more medals in next tournament. Same
story was repeated after the end of XVII Inchion Asian games – 2014. One of the most
popular bollywood actor was found advocating for idea of including sports as subject at
school level and a large number of educationists discussing pros and cons of this idea on
different news channels.By conducting this survey researcher tried to find out the real status
of secondary and higher secondary schools in regards to inclusion of sports as subject.
Unfortunately schools do not have minimum infrastructure to teach sports. Schools situated
in urban areas do not have playgrounds and they cannot arrange it due to sky steep rates of
land and in rural areas they have enough space for developing playground but nothing else
except land, it means no resources. In this research paper researcher has tried to focus on
the issues of concerns to be resolved before including sports as subject in curriculum. Few
suggestions have also been made for creating a favourable environment for sports in country.

A BLEND OF FEMINISM AND POST-MODERNISM: KAMLA DAS’S POETIC WORLD

Atul Parmar

Page No.: 2007 - 2012

SHOW PDF
 According to Toril Moi, “In a general way, I see ‘feminism’ as a political position, ‘femaleness’
as a matter of biology, and ‘femininity’ as a set of culturally defined characteristic.”
Many historians have categorized women writers in three categories. The first category consists
of writers like Jane Austen, Bronte Sisters and others. The second category includes writers like
Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath and many others. The first category of writers
have struggled to be simply acknowledged in the intelligentsia while the second group has
revolted against the male oriented society and sought to establish an isolated world away from
the males. The third group has maintained a balance between the above two extremes by being
both feminine and feminist at the same time. This group of writers have also less talked about the
social or political freedom and never visualized a world existing without men. Kamla Das is a
part of this third category. In her poetic world throughout one could easily find a plea for
understanding and compassion from the male counterpart. This paper attempts to find a blend
between feminism and postmodernism in the poetry of Kamla Das.
Key Words: Feminism, feminine, feminist, femininity, women writing, social and

SHOW PDF
 Information and communication technology (ICT) has become common place entities in
all aspects of life. It is an indispensable part of the contemporary world. It has the potential to
accelerate, enrich, and deepen skills; motivate and engage students in learning. In fact, culture
and society have to be adjusted to meet the challenges of the knowledge age. The pervasiveness
of ICT has brought about rapid technological, social, political, and economic transformation,
which has come out in a network society organized around ICT. The field of education has not
been unaffected by the penetrating influence of information and communication technology.
Undoubtedly, ICT has impacted on the quality and quantity of teaching, learning, and research
in education institutions. In research, ICT provides opportunities for teacher education colleges
to communicate with one another through email, mailing lists, chat rooms, and so on. It helps to
relate college experiences to work practices and to create economic viability for tomorrow’s
generation. So, we have to inquire the utilization of technology in teacher education institutions
for 21st century classrooms. In such a rapidly changing context, this paper explores how
teachers can be empowered and prepared to meet the challenges and new expectations
effectively is a crucial concern in policy making of teacher education and professional
development of teachers in India.

SHOW PDF
 River confluences are universal feature in all fluvial systems. It has been viewed as a point of
abrupt change in hydraulic geometry (Richards, 1980), discontinuity in sediment distribution
(Ferguson et al. 2000), three-dimensional patterns of flow and its dynamics (Best, 1985,
Biron et, al 1996) etc. From the past experiments and studies, junction angle, discharge ratio
and the geology at the confluence zone has been ascertained as the convincing factors
influencing the dynamics of the confluence zone. In the present study, part of the Mula basin
stretch (47 km) from Lahit Khurd (19˚ 24΄00˝ N and 73 ˚ 3΄ 00˝ 00E.) upto downstream Kas
Junction (19˚ 16΄ 30˝ N and 74˚ 14΄ 00˝E) is selected. The entire left bank and the right bank
stream greater than third order are chosen and their morphometric characteristics
calculated [SOI 1: 50,000 (47E/15, 47I/3)]. The actual ground characteristics of these
confluences are observed on the field. With the information from map and field observation,
5m × 3 m concrete flume model is prepared with five left bank tributaries and one major
right bank tributary. Discharge for mainstream and each tributary are varied according to
their respective stream order. Three simulations are run characterizing, low stage, high stage
and flood condition in the basin. 


EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AS A TOOL IN FRENCH PEDAGOGY

SHOW PDF
 Traditional teaching and training is mainly transfer of knowledge, but this does not include
individual student\'s progress and explore their potential really well. This is because traditional
method of teaching a foreign language usually looks at what the student needs to learn, and the
best way in which they can learn it. Experiential learning is a powerful way to address
individual growth and potential, for people of all ages. It is more suited to individual styles,
preferences, strengths, directions, etc. This paper highlights the historical background of
experiential learning, it\'s effectiveness in teaching foreign languages, how it  emerged, and how
well it has blended with French language Pedagogy. This paper on Experiential learning is
aimed at identifying the concepts of experiential learning, the models of  experiential learning,
the experiential learning cycle, its principles and benefits for French language students
particularly from the middle school. Since we are moving from traditional teaching towards
Student centered learning, can reflection be an important aspect of teaching-learning process for
both students and teachers? Also, in the Indian context, Experiential Education flips the role of a
teacher and a student! A teacher becomes a learner too and the student will \'lead\' the process of
learning. Are our Indian schools ready for this? How do we decide which method of experiential
learning will work best?

KIPLING’S THE MIRACLE OF PURUNBHAGATIS A STORY OF REVERENCE TO INDIAN SPIRITUAL ETHOS: A CRITICAL INSIGHT

Paresh Joshi

Page No.: 2223 - 2231

SHOW PDF
 Writing on and about India by the western writers has a long tradition. However, writing creative 
literature on Indian milieu is relatively new and the practice concurs with European presence on the Indian soil. Unfortunately, Rudyard Kipling has very often been labelled as an imperialist author, and his “East is East, and West is West” is often used as a benchmark to evaluate his contribution to literature. But he is probably the only European author of his time who could penetrate into Anglo-Indian life accurately. His stories are rarely found to be affected by racial prejudice and they are always dominant with human point of view. The short story under review, The Miracle of PurunBhagat, is about a man’s journey from his material success to his spiritual rebirth. Though the story initially hails the benefits of English rule and education in India, it culminates into a reverence
for Hinduism and Indian spiritual ethos. The present paper is an attempt to highlight how The Miracle of PurunBhagat is Kipling’s most explicit attempt to express his homage to Indian Spiritual Tradition.

 Teaching is becoming one of the most challenging professions in our society where knowledge is 
expanding rapidly and modern technology is demanding teachers to learn how to use these technology in their teaching. Although valuable lessons may be learned from best practices around the world, there is no one formula for determining the optimal level of ICT integration in teachers’ training. Overall, governments and teacher training institutions seem to recognize the importance of integrating ICT in education and teacher’s training. In many cases, the national vision for ICT use in education has been integrated into teacher training.  Information and communication technology (ICT) can provide more flexible and effective ways for professional development for teachers, to improve pre- and in-service teacher training, and connect teachers to the global teacher community. This paper provides a holistic view about various ICT based approaches to prospective teachers’ professional development i.e. ICT use as main content focusing on teachers’ training, ICT use as part

As a matter of fact, all the novels written by her reveal human agony although the causes of this agony are different in different novels. Kamala Markandaya is a novelist of broken hearts, wounded humanity, bruised self-respect and the callousness of inhuman attitude on account of a clash between the races but the total impact is of human agony, All the novelists who are devoted to realism ultimately become the painters of human agony.This is why Stephen Ignatius Hemenway has remarked that “Markandaya is definitely one of the most productive, popular and skilled Indo-Anglian novelists and a superb representative of growing number of Indian women writing serious literature in English,”1
