Achievement In Physics Of Higher Secondary Students In Relation To Self-Regulated Learning

2025-02-09T18:01:24+00:00

Aiming to research the link between self-regulated learning and academic performance in physics among higher secondary students, the current study named "performance in Physics of Higher Secondary Students in Relation to Self-Regulated Learning" sets out to do just that. Mayiladuthurai District, Tamil Nadu, India, was the site of the study, which included both public and private high schools. Using a simple random selection approach, 670 kids from various government, aid, and private schools were chosen for the XI standard. Data on students' physics achievement levels and techniques of self-regulation of learning were collected by survey methods in this research. The relationship between academic achievement and self-regulated learning techniques was investigated statistically. Educators, curriculum developers, and legislators seeking to enhance scientific education results at the upper secondary level may benefit greatly from the study's findings, which emphasise the importance of self-regulated learning in raising students' physics ability.

Innovative Approaches To Water Conservation In Rajasthan: Challenges And Solutions

2025-02-12T14:35:01+00:00

Rajasthan, India's largest state, faces severe water scarcity due to its arid climate, excessive groundwater extraction, and inadequate management strategies. This review examines traditional and modern water conservation techniques, emphasizing their role in mitigating the crisis. Rajasthan's indigenous water harvesting systems, such as tankas, nadis, and khadins, have historically supported water security, yet modern demands have strained these methods. Groundwater depletion, exacerbated by climate change and overextraction, poses significant challenges, with water tables declining at alarming rates. Climate variability has led to erratic rainfall patterns and rising temperatures, further impacting water availability. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and community participation are crucial for addressing these issues. The success of initiatives such as Tarun Bharat Sangh demonstrates the potential of localized water conservation efforts. Additionally, gender-inclusive policies must be implemented to acknowledge women's pivotal role in water stewardship. This study underscores the necessity of combining traditional knowledge with technological advancements and policy interventions to ensure sustainable water management in Rajasthan. Strengthening institutional frameworks, promoting watershed management, and leveraging remote sensing tools can enhance water conservation efforts. A holistic and inclusive approach is essential for securing Rajasthan’s water future and addressing the challenges of water scarcity effectively.

Development and Standardization of the Information and Communication Technology Anxiety Scale (ICTAS)

2025-02-17T20:44:03+00:00

Higher secondary school teachers' levels of concern about using ICT in the classroom during the first few months of the school year, and the urgency of finding solutions to this problem makes identifying its causes a top priority. Postgraduate instructors often have a great deal of worry when it comes to information and communication technology (ICT). In some instances, this anxiety may even manifest as issues with classroom management when the teacher is already feeling overwhelmed at the beginning of a course. Managing a classroom effectively becomes challenging when instructors fail to connect with their students. The usage of information and communication technologies is another big problem that could make the educator feel uneasy. Similar to how students may struggle with some courses, instructors may also have ICT anxiety when it comes to teaching and learning specific subjects. Although the use of ICT in the classroom leads to better academic achievement, the quality of instruction is often lacking. In order to improve the quality of education they provide, postgraduate instructors should be aware of their own strengths and areas for improvement. Therefore, if postgraduate instructors suffer from worry related to information and communication technology, their performance will suffer. Consequently, the researchers used established protocols to create and evaluate a scale called the Information and Communication Technology Anxiety Scale (ICTAS).
