Abstract: This is a Quasi-experimental study; here the conventional method adopted for teaching biological science to class VIII C.B.S.E. students was compared with teaching them through an innovative 5Econstructivist approach. In order to accomplish these, two groups were formed, namely experimental and control. A non randomized Pre-test and Post-test design was used in the present study, two sections of VIII standard students were selected as experimental and control group of  total 80 students in the two sections of the class. The sampling design is Purposive cluster sampling, where in a class as a whole was considered without causing disturbance to the intactness. Experimental group was taught through the 5E approach developed by the investigator and control group was taught through the conventional method. Statistically “t” test was used to find out the difference. The result of5E constructivist approach of teaching had positive effect on the achievement of students in biological science. Thus, teaching through the 5Econstructivist approach is significantly effective than that of the conventional method of teaching in improving the achievement of VIII standard C.B.S.E. students of biological science.

Abstract: The study is purely a quantitative study and tries to measure the personality and emotional intelligence of the Primary school teachers in South- 24 Parganas district and also tries to measure the correlation between the emotional intelligence and personality of the Primary school teachers. The samples of this study are taken from the primary school through random sampling techniques and samples are categorised into gender, strata and experience wise.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the challenges facing computer implementation on administration use in public secondary schools in Nyamira North District. Few public secondary schools have embraced use of computers in their administration.  The objectives of this study were to determine distribution and availability of computers for use and how they were utilized; establish the challenges impeding computer implementation. The study utilized descriptive survey design. The researcher used four tools for data collection: principals’, HOD’s, Bursar’s and librarians’ questionnaire. The target population was 40 public secondary schools from where a sample of 12 schools was purposively obtained. The data were collected by the researcher by administering the tools himself. The data were coded and edited for completeness. The data analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences). It was found that computers were mainly found in the principals’ office. The study also found that only two schools in Nyamira North use computers in accounts offices and the library. It was also found that all management offices were inadequately prepared in use of computer skills. MS Word was found to be the most frequently used software. In the principals’ offices, it was found that computers were mainly used for clerical jobs such as typing letters. Bursars used the computers to receive fees, pay vouchers, and prepare budgets and balance sheets. Librarians used computers to issue books, receive books, trace books and locate them on the shelves. Interruptions of electricity and inadequate computer training form biggest limitations. The level of access to internet connectivity is also very poor.

Abstract: In this paper we have tried to analyze the various factors like previous-self employment experience, previous-work experience, those who scored good marks in exam and educational course of graduating students on their decision to take entrepreneurship as a career choice. The results revealed that the respondents who have an previous entrepreneurship experience has no or a negligible impact on their decision to choose to become an entrepreneur. No relationship was seen between the previous-work experience and on student’s decision to choose to become an entrepreneur. Students scoring good marks in exam were seen to have no or little influence on student’s decision to choose to become an entrepreneur. Students who were in undergoing business management courses were little better influenced to choose a career of an entrepreneur.

Abstract: This paper is part of a broad study that looked at the impact of hearing loss on literacy skills development. The paper explores the role of the home and the school in the development of literacy skills among learners with hearing impairments. The study employed mixed methods where both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used. However, the case study design largely underpinned the study.  The representative sample was composed of five educators (two teachers and three administrators) and 10 parents who were conveniently selected. Questionnaires, interviews and observation were the data gathering tools used. The results showed that educators felt that the curriculum did not support both English and Zimbabwean Sign Language equally as needed for literacy development in the teaching of students with hearing impairment.  From the observations and interviews carried out, it was established that there was no equal time allocation on the timetable to both languages.  There was no formal teaching of Zimbabwean Sign Language as a subject like English.  There were no materials that could be used in the teaching of Zimbabwean Sign Language. The study recommended that language development should be the primary consideration when teaching students who are pre-lingually deaf (either born deaf or became deaf before acquiring language).  To counteract the apparent language deficit in hearing families with children who are deaf it was recommended that a variety of strategies to provide meaningful language experiences be employed.  Teachers were encouraged to share these suggestions with families, as well as remember them in their own teaching.
