Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Challenges of integrating values in engineering education
1. The Challenges in Integrating
Human Values in Technical
Education
P.L.Dhar
I I T Delhi
2. The Main Challenges
• Creating an appreciation of the need
• Removing misconceptions about EHV
• Charting out a clear, universally acceptable
methodology
3. Appreciation of the need
• The Problems facing mankind today can be
classified as:
– Technogenic
OR
Social
• Technogenic
– Energy security , Environmental Pollution, Climate
Change
• Social
– Poverty, Inequity, Corruption, Crime and violence
• Social image of engineering profession
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
4. Strategies being followed to
ameliorate these problems
• Technogenic
– Energy efficient devices, Renewable Energy Sources,
Increasing the use of non polluting energy sources,
Sequestration of Carbon dioxide, Forestation
• Social
– More growth { infrastructure, energy, high tech) to
remove poverty and improve equity
– Computerization to check corruption
– Use of high tech gadgets to combat crime and violence
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
5. Has this approach been successful ?
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
6. Some counter intuitive facts
• Improvement in fuel efficiency of cars has
INCREASED overall fuel consumption in
automobiles
• Improvement in energy efficiency of lighting
devices has INCREASED the energy consumption
in lighting
• Recycling of aluminum cans has INCREASED
consumption of aluminum in soft drinks industry
• Creating houses for slum dwellers has
INCREASED the slums in many cities
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
7. Some counter intuitive facts
• Increased
economic growth
has increased
inequity in the
society
• Though fire-arms
for police have
improved, the
terrorism has
only increased
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
8. Why has this approach not been
successful ?
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
9. Overlooking the human dimension –
cravings, lack of compassion, hatred and
revenge
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
10. We need to appreciate…..
• Energy, Ecology, Economy crisis has its roots in the
crisis of human values, in unbridled consumerism
• It does not have a purely technical solution
• We are suffering from ‘Consumption’ !
• Gandhiji’s aphorism :
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need,
but not every man's greed.
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
11. We need to appreciate…..
• Inequity can not be reduced merely by increasing
growth => the wealth should be generated in a
distributed manner rather than distributing the
wealth generated centrally
• This needs new technological culture =>
decentralized production systems
• Compassion and forbearance, forgiveness,
inculcation of human values hold the key to
reducing crime and violence NOT better
technology
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
12. We need to appreciate…..
• Happiness is a state of mind
not the state of bank balance
• It is dependent on wealth only
till the basic needs are not
properly satisfied
• Earning beyond this need
doesn’t increase happiness
• Greed is counterproductive –
individually, socially and
ecologically
1. Creating an appreciation of the need
14. Common misconceptions about EHV
•
•
•
•
There are no universal values
Conflict with secularism
Values are “caught” and not “taught”
Only Enlightened Being can “teach” values, not
ordinary mortals
2. Misconceptions about EHV
15. There are no universal values !
• Genesis of this confusion : Various values as defined
in social science : personal, family, social, cultural,
aesthetic, ethical and moral etc.
• While other values differ , ethical and moral values
like truthfulness, honesty, integrity, generosity,
compassion, non violence, forgiveness etc.
are universal
• On what basis can we say that these are universal ?
• Asking the right questions !
2. Misconceptions about EHV
16. EHV and Secularism
• Secularism: A system of social organization and
education where religion is not allowed to play a
part in civil affairs
• Article 28 : No religious instruction shall be
provided in any educational institution wholly
maintained out of state funds
• Religious instruction instructions regarding
particular forms of prayer or worship or belief
system
2. Misconceptions about EHV
17. EHV and Secularism
• EHV is not religious instruction. Secularism doesn’t
imply value neutrality, or moral relativism.
• Values are the basis of civil and criminal laws !
• Education in Human values – ethical and moral
values- is the common essence of teachings of all
religions
2. Misconceptions about EHV
18. Common misconceptions about EHV
• Values are “caught” and not “taught”
– Limitations of charisma
– Education can never be value free – all interpretations of
facts imply a value judgment!
– Avoiding discussion on ethical and moral values is in
itself a value judgment – that these discussions are not
important !
• Only Enlightened Being can “teach” values, not
ordinary mortals
– Only an Einstein to teach theory of relativity !
– Need for caution – value educators should imbibe what
they teach!!
3-4. Misconceptions about EHV
20. Cardinal Principles of EHV
♦The foundation should not be
made dependent on myth, or authority
♦Provoke the students to analyze nature & their
own experiences of life to appreciate the basis
of universal human values
Cardinal Principles of EHV 1 - 2
21. Cardinal Principles of EHV
♦Do not be led by reports or traditions,
or hearsay. Do not be led by the authority of
religious texts, nor by mere logic or inference,
nor by considering appearances, nor by speculative
opinion nor by seeming possibilities, nor because
one’s own teacher has said so. When you know
for yourself after careful observation and analysis
that certain things are right, wholesome and
conducive to the welfare of one and all, then accept
Them, follow them.
The Buddha
Cardinal Principles of EHV 1
22. Analyzing Life’s experiences…I
• Do I feel happy when others
– cheat , steal, abuse, beat me
• Is it true of all ?
Do unto others
as you wish
others to do unto you
Cardinal Principles of EHV 2
23. Analyzing Life’s experiences …II
• What makes us really happy ?
Greediness or generosity ?
Cheating or honesty ?
Cruelty or compassion
Anger or forgiveness ?
Falsehood or truthfulness ?
Is this universally true ?
Thus we can discover the requirements for
happy living : The Universal Human Values
Cardinal Principles of EHV 2
24. Cardinal Principles of EHV
♦Value dimension should permeate teaching
-- no conflicting signals from different teachers
♦Give practical training in self-restraint &
self observation to actually inculcate values
The Teacher acts as a senior studentnot a moral master
Cardinal Principles of EHV 3 - 5
25. Value Dimension should permeate
Teaching
• Engineering Design Philosophy
• Principles of Management- business/marketing
ethics
• Thermodynamics--exergy laws ; New Physics,
Ecology
• Appreciating inter-connectedness
• Social & environmental impact studies of all
projects ; incorporate value orientation in all
subjects
• The challenge of applying engineering knowledge
in sustainable decentralized production systems
Cardinal Principles of EHV 3
26. Need for practical training :
Knowing vs Imbibing Values
Duryodhana’s dilemma
janami dharamam na ca me pravritti
janami adharmam na ca me nivritti.
St Paul : I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want
is what I do.
• Chasm between conscious & unconscious mind
• Need for practical training in self control & self observation;
bridging the chasm between conscious & unconscious
mind; mental purification
Possible through Insight Meditation
Cardinal Principles of EHV 4
www.dhamma.org
27. Need for practical training :
Knowing vs Imbibing Values
Exposure to social realities : padyatras ; to good
selfless work being done in India e.g
http://goodnewsindia.com/index.php/gni
Serving the underprivileged : NSS
Working with NGOs
Cardinal Principles of EHV 4
28. Role of Teachers
• Hazards of teaching profession => increase of ego
What you are shouts so loudly in my ears that
I can not hear what you say
• EHV Teacher’s attitude should be like a senior
student teaching a junior
• EHV Teacher as an exemplar
• Need for teacher training !
Cardinal Principles of EHV 5
29. The Spiral of Value Inculcation
Right Action
(ethics)
Improvement in motives
(Value inculcation)
Cardinal Principles of EHV
Positive mental state
(meditation)
Greater awareness
“wisdom”
30. Some Pedagogic Challenges
• Synergy between Humanities and Engineering
departments – EHV as applied philosophy/
psychology
• Developing procedures for “evaluation” of student
performance in EHV courses
• Developing case studies in engineering ethics
• Value orientation of various subjects
• Involving NGOs in EHV programmes
31. Concluding Remarks
• Most problems of modern times have their roots in the crass
materialistic world view arising from the neglect of
Universal Human Values
• Education can never be value neutral; we should encourage
discussion on UHV for the default value system is hedonism
• EHV can be effectively done by facilitating self discovery
following scientific temper.
• Mere intellectual appreciation is not enough - practical
‘mental training’ is necessary for value inculcation.
• EHV should permeate all teaching !
• The EHV Teacher’s attitude should be that of a senior
student, not moral master ⇒ Need for Teacher Training.
32. Thanks for your kind attention!
The insanity of the collective egoic mind, amplified by science
and technology, is rapidly taking our species to the brink of
disaster. Evolve or die: that is our only choice now.
