Professional Development of Teacher Trainees through Experiential Learning

2025-04-27T08:46:04+00:00

Teacher education plays a critical role in shaping competent and reflective educators who can effectively manage diverse classroom environments. However, traditional training methods that rely heavily on lectures and theoretical instruction often fail to provide trainees with the necessary real-world skills required for effective teaching. To bridge this gap, experiential learning has emerged as a powerful approach in teacher training, enabling trainees to learn through direct experience, practice, and reflection. This paper explores the impact of experiential learning on the professional development of teacher trainees, highlighting how hands-on learning opportunities such as internships, microteaching, peer observations, and reflective practice contribute to their growth as educators. The paper is grounded in Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory. By following this cyclical learning process, teacher trainees are able to refine their teaching methodologies, enhance their classroom management skills, and develop their professional identity as educators. Despite its advantages, implementing experiential learning in teacher training programs presents several challenges. Some of these include insufficient mentorship and feedback, which can hinder the effectiveness of practical learning experiences, limited access to real-classroom teaching opportunities, and trainees’ resistance to reflective practices due to lack of guidance on self-assessment. To address these issues, the paper suggests several strategies for optimizing experiential learning, such as enhancing mentorship programs, incorporating technology-based teaching simulations, and fostering collaborative reflection through professional learning communities. By actively engaging in real teaching experiences and critically reflecting on their performance, trainees gain the necessary confidence, adaptability, and practical skills needed for success in the teaching profession.

Economic Value Added of Nifty 50 Value 20 Index Companies

2025-04-27T08:50:02+00:00

Company valuation methods have been broadly classified into absolute valuation methods and relative valuation methods. Absolute valuation methods include - Discounted Cash Flow Method, Dividend Discount Model, Residual Income Model, Payback Period, Modigliani Miller Model and Economic Value Added Method. Absolute valuation methods are company specific and take growth rate of company, discount rate, terminal value, dividends etc to project the growth of the company. Relative valuation methods compare the variables of the company with the similar company and find out the best company for investment by the investment managers. Relative valuation includes PE ratio, PEG ratio, Dividend Payout Ratio, EPS, Growth Rate, Price to cash flows, EV to EBITDA, ROCE and ROE etc to compare the companies. Various valuation methods have been used by the authors and investment managers to find out the value of the company. As per Warren Buffet, value of company is the present value of future discounted cash flows to the company. Aswath Damodaran and Pablo Farnandez, prominent authors of valuation, has similar consensus with the Warren Buffet, but at the same time they found that 90 to 95 percent valuations are relative valuations. Relative valuations are easy to use and less time consuming. Stern Stewart & Company and various other authors found that EVA is the best method for the valuation of the companies. The claim of Stern Stewart & Company has been rejected by the authors and they found that accounting variable based valuation methods have greater predictive power than EVA. In this research paper, author is using Economic Value Added method of valuation and tests its relation with the market value of the company. Nifty 50 value 20 Index has been taken as a sample to find the relation of EVA with the market value of the company.

उच्च शिक्षा उन्नयन हेतु पाठ्यक्रम सुधार की आवश्यकता

2025-04-27T08:54:49+00:00

उच्च शिक्षा में वर्तमान में सशक्त कार्य करने की आवश्यकता है। मात्र दस प्रतिशत युवा आबादी ही उच्च शिक्षा तक पहुँच पा रही है तथा इसमें भी पंजीकृत विद्यार्थियों को विश्वस्तरीय शिक्षा उपलब्ध नहीं हो रही है। एक सर्वे के अनुसार भारतीय विद्यार्थी ग्रेजुएट और पोस्टग्रेजुएट के बाद भी नौकरी योग्य नहीं हैं। उनमें तार्किक क्षमता, अंकगणितीय योग्यता और विज्ञान की समझ निम्न स्तर की है।
हमारी शिक्षा मूलतः किताबी और पारंपरिक पद्धति पर आधारित है। इसने शोधपरक शिक्षा का मार्ग अवरुद्ध किया है। शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता पाठयक्रम के आधार पर तय की जाती है क्योंकि शिक्षा और पाठ्यक्रम का गहन सम्बन्ध है। शिक्षा प्रक्रिया में तीन प्रमुख घटक- शिक्षक, शिक्षार्थी, पाठयक्रम होते हैं। इन तीनों का अन्तःसम्बन्ध ही शिक्षा का स्वरूप निर्धारित करता है। सभी प्रकार के पाठयक्रम भिन्न-भिन्न उदेश्यों के आधार पर निर्धारित किये जाते हैं, जिससे वे अपने लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त कर सकें।
उपरोक्त बिंदुओं के अलोक में यह समझा जा सकता है कि पाठ्यक्रम का नवीनता और वैज्ञानिकता से युक्त होना कितना आवश्यक है। यदि बेहतर विद्यार्थियों का निर्माण करना शिक्षा का उद्देश्य है तो शिक्षा को स्तरीय एवं उपयोगी बनाना परमावश्यक है। यह किताबी, रटंत और परीक्षा केन्द्रित शिक्षा पद्धति से संभव नहीं है।

ज्योतिषशास्त्रीय में शक्ति-स्वरूप-नारी-विमर्श

2025-05-27T08:05:59+00:00

ज्योतिषशास्त्र भारतीय संस्कृति और दर्शन का एक महत्वपूर्ण आयाम है, जिसमें नारी को शक्ति-स्वरूप के रूप में प्रतिष्ठित किया गया है। नारी के विभिन्न स्वरूप – यथा शक्ति, लक्ष्मी, सरस्वती, दुर्गा आदि – ज्योतिषीय प्रतीकों और ग्रहों से जुड़े हुए हैं, जो उसके अद्वितीय शक्ति-स्वरूप को प्रकट करते हैं। इस विमर्श में यह विश्लेषण किया गया है कि किस प्रकार नारी ज्योतिषशास्त्र में ब्रह्मांडीय और सामाजिक शक्ति का प्रतीक मानी जाती है। साथ ही, यह शोध नारी की भूमिका और उसकी स्थिति को ज्योतिषीय दृष्टिकोण से देखने का प्रयास करता है, जिससे एक समावेशी और सशक्त नारी विमर्श उभरता है। आधुनिक नारी विमर्श और शक्ति सिद्धांतों के आलोक में इस अध्ययन में ज्योतिषशास्त्र की प्राचीन धारणाओं और आधुनिक व्याख्याओं का समन्वय किया गया है। इससे यह स्पष्ट होता है कि नारी केवल सामाजिक संरचना की अंग नहीं है, अपितु ब्रह्मांडीय शक्ति और चेतना की भी वाहक है।
