ESD ako projekt?
Manažérsky, technický alebo akceptačný projekt?
Mnoho ľudí sa dnes poteší, ak im televízor, práčka, telefón či iný domáci spotre- bič vydrží dlhšie ako 2 roky. Produktový cyklus sa neustále skracuje a výrobky obmieňame oveľa častejšie ako pred pár rokmi. Jeden z faktorov spôsobujúcich tieto zmeny je rýchla inovácia – vývoj a napredovanie technológie.
Čo je to ESD?
ESD – „Electro static discharge“ = elektrostatický výboj.
Kedy vás naposledy „koplo“? Napríklad, keď ste ráno vstali a prešli po koberci a pri otváraní dverí ste sa chytili kľučky. A buuum. Alebo pri otváraní dverí auta, keď ste sa dotkli kľučky auta. Alebo ste si vyzliekali huňatý sveter z vlny či sako zo syn- tetického materiálu a potom ste podali ruku kolegovi? Presne v tom momente, keď vás „koplo“, prebehol cez vás elektrostatický výboj.
Človek ho môže vnímať ako nepríjemný pocit, ktorý nie je životu nebezpečný, ale pre mikroelektronické komponenty vý- robkov môže byť zničujúci. Veľmi známym extrémnym prípadom elektrostatického výboja je blesk.
Pre veľa manažérov ESD jednoducho nie je priorita. Zameriavajú sa na sledovanie iných, „dôležitejších“ KPI.

A Study on the Mental Health and Self Confidence of B.Ed Students in Coimbato...ijtsrd
India is a very fast developing country of the world. After independence, it has recorded a remarkable progress in every field of life. In this train of progress, the role of education cannot be avoided. Since impendence, many educational colleges and institutions have been established. But these colleges and institutions are not significant on the part of the teachers. The teachers trainees of present day are not knowing their role .In general, Teacher trainees are lack of mental health and self confidence and poor attitude towards teaching profession. So the investigator try to attempt in this present research study to inculcate mental health and self confidence for developing teaching competence among teacher trainees. Casual observations by the investigator of this paper as a teaching practice supervisors shows that many student teachers lack necessary ability to link theories learnt in class to classroom practice. This study will help teachers to understand how mental health and self confidence influences the processes of teaching and learning. This information is lacking in the literature and it is therefore not readily available to help inform educational improvement efforts that support better teaching practices and student performance.The significance of this study lies in its practical application to the Diploma in teacher education programme. This study, using an experimental research model, provides a platform from which an exploration of these areas might begin. This study will help teachers to understand how mental health and self confidence influences the processes of teaching and learning. This information is lacking in the literature and it is therefore not readily available to help inform educational improvement efforts that support better teaching practices and student performance. This information will then be used to identify areas of relative strength and weakness in the pedagogy component of Professional Development and Experience subjects with a view to improving this component of the Course.

PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING FOR STUDENTS IN BOARDING ...indexPub
This study aimed to develop a psychological well-being scale for students using Rasch analysis. The research involved 789 eligible participants aged 13-17 from East Java. The study found that gender, culture,
individual maturity development, and assistance provided significantly impact students' psychological well-being. The study oncluded that these factors are critical to ensuring the effectiveness of any intervention.
This study endeavoured to establish the characteristics of effective teachers and how these characteristics assisted teachers to improve learner performance. To address this aim, a case study design was employed as a methodology for the study, consisting of five rural schools. A literature study was conducted, alongside semi-structured individual interviews with five school principals and focus group interviews with twenty eight teachers from the same rural schools from where school principals were drawn. The collected data was analysed thematically, by establishing themes and their emerging categories. The established themes and their categories were interpreted and discussed to answer the research questions. The major findings of the study revealed that an effective teacher has a blend of three characteristics, namely, professional characteristics, personality characteristics and social characteristics. The blend of characteristics contribute to the quality of teaching and learning processes. The study recommended that educational practitioners in diversity should be cognisant of the characteristics of effective teachers and nurture them appropriately as these characteristics have a life-transforming effects on the lives of the learners.

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.

Counselling Needs of Higher Secondary School Students of
Kerala: An Exploration into the Teacher Perception
Abdul Azeez V P, Dr. V Sumangala
Research Scholar, Department of Education, University of Calicut
, Retired Professor and Head, Department of Education, University of Calicut
Abstract: The present investigation was directed towards the identification of counselling needs of the higher
secondary school students of Kerala as perceived by higher secondary school teachers by normative survey
method. Perceptions of 200 teachers from selected schools were used to assess the counselling needs. For this, a
Counselling Needs inventory was constructed by the investigator. Results of the analysis indicate that higher
secondary school students have strong counselling needs, as perceived by their teachers. Results also show that
there is no significant difference between male and female teacher perception on the counselling needs of higher
secondary school students.
Key terms: Counselling Needs, Teacher Perception.
I. Introduction
The age group of higher secondary students extends from 16 to 19, which span in the later adolescent
period. Adolescence is considered as the most tumultuous period of life. Hall (1976) rightly remarked that
adolescence is the period of stress and strain, storm and stiff. The life of modern industrial societies is so
complex where the intricacies of adolescence period are more hazardous. The basic characteristics of
adolescence in modern times are increased emotional instability, period of unrealism, hero worship, moral
dilemma, faster changes in the physical and biological system, temporary imbalance of whole endocrine system,
tendency to incline towards anti social behaviour, drug and sex abuse and several other unique characteristics. It
is widely accepted that the adolescent students need counselling support when they face personal, social,
familial and educational issues. The present investigation is directed towards the identification of perceived
counselling needs of the higher secondary school students by their teachers.
A need is any lack or deficit of something within an individual, either acquired or physiological, whose
fulfilment would tend to promote the welfare of the individual. (Biswas & Aggarwal, 1971) Counselling needs
are needs of a student that are required to resolve his/her problems which he/she confronts in day to day life
situations and also to enrich his personal development.
Every human being has a strong desire to achieve some goals. The satisfaction of the achievement need
leads a person to further activity. So this need is a motivating force which can be used properly for making
teaching learning process effective. Children with growing intellectual capacities find a great interest in
acquiring new knowledge. The spontaneous urge for knowledge should be properly guided. Adolescent students
have a strong desire to do things independently. So they start thinking about their future career. They need
vocational guidance. Need for belongingness is one of the most basic psychological needs. This includes need to
have friends, to be loved and accepted by other people, need for affiliation and to belong to a network of social
relations. In every individual, there will be a longing for recognition or approval. During the period of childhood
and adolescence the longing for recognition is very high. Freedom is an important need which has to be
satisfied. Needs to get freedom, to resist restriction, to express feelings freely and to get freedom of choice are
also important needs at this stage. Every individual want to be more secure. The security need includes the need
for economic and social security. Emotional handicap is a condition which results improper behaviour that
interferes with the individual’s ability to learn and function under normal circumstances. Problems resulted from
emotional handicaps are anxiety, depression, learning disability and sense of inferiority. Students at this stage
have a tendency to deviate from the accepted ways and patterns of society and not to conform to the
expectations of society to which he belongs. Such deviant behaviour is detrimental to the welfare of
himself/herself, his/her family and society. It leads to several behaviour problems including stealing, lying, drug
addiction, truancy, aggression, abnormal outburst of temper, sexual harassment and bullying.
Kaila (2003), in the study on mental health of school students in Mumbai city, indicates that children
and adolescents have high educational and vocational anxiety, and the students face problems such as low self-
esteem, difficulties in managing anger and sexuality. Investigators suggested that school counsellors should be
appointed on full time basis.
Harper D. Frederick et al., (2003), discussed how Maslow’s hierarchy of basic needs can be used as a
frame work for counsellors to assess the needs of children.

investigated in two studies by Duffy and Wareham (2004). Both the studies involved a modified survey
originally designed for the American Association of University Women. In the study, which involved 760 male
and 779 female high school students (mainly 16 to 19 years old), the investigator compared the behaviour and
attitudes of (a) students who has recently been harassed and were upset by it and (b) students who had not
harassed. Harassment led to several negative psychological and educational consequences rather than to a
general stress reaction. Consequences are varied with the type of harassment experienced.
A study conducted by Farah. M. Adnan (2004) traces the development of guidance and counselling
movement in Jordan. The study focuses on the need for counselling, Counselling settings, Counsellors training
and problems of guidance and counselling programmes and services.
Plenty of studies on the counselling needs of adolescent students have been carried out all over the
world. However, very few studies have been conducted in Indian context on counselling needs of adolescence.
The present study is to identify the counselling needs of higher secondary school students of Kerala as perceived
by their teachers.
II. Method
The method followed for the present study for assessing the perceived counselling needs of higher secondary
pupils is normative survey.
Population and Sample
Initially fifty higher secondary schools were selected from different districts of Kerala for the study. A
sample of 200 teachers from the selected schools was then identified to assess the counselling needs of higher
secondary students. Sample was selected using stratified sampling technique giving due representation to
Gender, School Locale and Type of Management of schools.
Instruments
To assess the counselling needs of higher secondary students a Counselling Needs inventory was
constructed by the investigator. The tool was administered among Teachers of Higher Secondary Schools. The
tool consisted of 60 statements, each statement indicating a need and to be responded by choosing any one of
the closed ended responses given i.e., very much needed, needed, and not needed. The statements were scored
with 3, 2, and 1 respectively for very much needed, needed, and not needed for quantitative analysis.
Procedure
Investigator visited 50 schools of the sample for collecting data. The inventory was administered to 200
teaches and the responses were scored on three point scale. The collected data were consolidated using spread
sheet and subjected to statistical analysis. One sample t-test was used to ascertain the counselling needs of
higher secondary school students. To test whether there is any gender difference in perceived counselling needs,
two-tailed t-test for independent sample was used.
III. Results
Counselling needs of higher secondary school students as perceived by higher secondary school
teachers were ascertained for total sample and for subsamples of teachers. The data and results of the
ascertained Counselling needs of higher secondary school students as perceived by the total sample of teachers
is presented in Table 1.

Table 2 reveals that gender difference exist in the case of Need for approval and Need for security.
Results also reveal that gender difference does not exist in the remaining seven Counselling needs. Thus, it can
be understood from the response of the male and female teachers that they are unanimous in the perception of
counselling needs of higher secondary students.
IV. Conclusion
Results of the analysis indicated that there are counselling needs among higher secondary school
students of Kerala as perceived by their teachers. Results also show that there is no significant difference in the
perception on the counselling needs of higher secondary school students between male and female teachers. It
can thus be concluded that higher secondary school students are highly in need of counselling support for Need
to tackle behavioural problems, Need for understanding, Need for love and belongingness, Need for security,
Need for approval, Need to tackle emotional problems, Need for achievement, Need for freedom and Need for
vocation. It is high time to implement counselling programmes considering students, teachers and parental needs
in higher secondary schools. The current system of school counselling programmes in Kerala is to be revamped
and a more systematic counselling support system is inevitably provided in schools. For this, policies and
strategies are to be reframed at higher secondary level. Future researches must be oriented towards this so that
we can help and secure the upcoming young generation to be mentally and emotionally healthy.
