Abstract:
Organizational change can produce a number of positive and negative emotional responses. This study uses the Theory of Emotional Contagion (Hatfield, Cacioppo & Rapson, 1993) where negative as well as positive feelings can be transferred to others. The aims of the study are to examine the effects of perception on technological change, leadership change and structural change towards students’ emotions; and to analyze the mediating effect of experience on perception and emotion resulting from organizational changes. The study employs the quantitative research design using the survey method with the self-administered questionnaire. A total of 223 respondents was collected from among the undergraduate students at a faculty in a public university who have faced organizational changes (technological, leadership and structural). Results reveal that perceptions of technology, leadership and structural changes are found to have moderate effects on students’ emotions. However, experiences of change partially mediate students’ emotion and perception of technological, leadership and structural changes. Experience with organizational changes affects students’ emotions badly. This implies that the Emotional Contagion Theory holds true for organizational changes as the hypotheses are supported.

Factors Influencing Overall Job Satisfaction Level of Teachers in Erode DistrictDr. Amarjeet Singh
Traditionally, teaching was a combination of information-dispensing, custodial child care and sorting out academically inclined students from others. The underlying model for schools was an education factory in which adults, paid hourly or daily wages, kept like-aged youngsters sitting still for standardized lessons and tests.Teachers were told what, when, and how to teach. They were required to educate every student in exactly the same way and were not held responsible when many failed to learn. They were expected to teach using the same methods as past generations, and any deviation from traditional practices was discouraged by supervisors or prohibited by myriad education laws and regulations. Thus, many teachers simply stood in front of the class and delivered the same lessons year after year, growing gray and weary of not being allowed to change what they were doing. The present study focuses on factors influencing overall job satisfaction level of teachers in Erode district.

A Study of Anxiety in Relation to Academic Achievement among Higher Secondary...ijtsrd
Our education mainly stresses to develop cognitive aspect which deals with knowledge and to some extent develop cognitive aspect which deals with motor skills. The affective aspect which deals with emotions, feelings and sentiments of the child is totally neglected by our Education. For developing the child emotionally and socially mature, only formal education is not enough but informal education which the child gets from his family and society is also needed. In the past years, there has been extensive research on various approaches of teaching in secondary education. But no one method or approach has been found consistently superior to all. It reveals the fact that no single approach can be best suited to all the students. The most important question is to determine which students achieve more and under what conditions and also the factors which affect the achievement. An emerging area of research that holds promise in helping us to answer these questions is student's level of general mental ability in anxiety and emotional adjustment. Researchers and educationists are now attempting a thorough work in the area of general anxiety and emotional adjustment and found it a very potential one in influencing the student's academic achievement.

TEACHER BEHAVIOUR AS PERCEIVED BY HIGHER SECONDARY COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS ...Thiyagu K
Computer science is one of the subjects being taught at higher secondary
level catering the needs of basic knowledge and skills to fulfill the requirements at
higher education level (Joseph F. Callahan.1977). Moreover, the subject -
computer science - commands the attention of all the people of the globe. The fact
is that most of the students feel very difficult in learning computer science. Hence,
the computer science teachers are expected to be more competent and effective in
their profession. The main aim of the study is to find out the level of teacher
behaviour as perceived by higher secondary computer science students and to find
out the level of achievement in computer science of higher secondary computer
science students. The investigator used the survey method for the present study.
The sample for the present study consisted of 300 higher secondary computer
science students studying in four different schools of Tuticorin District. The
investigator used the Teacher Behaviour Scale prepared and validated by S.
Arockiasamy (2004). The findings of the study were more than 67% of higher
secondary computer science students have recorded their neutral perception on the
teacher behaviour of their respective teachers. The male and female higher
secondary computer science students differ significantly in their perception on
teacher behaviour in total and in the dimensions - questioning and class
management. And no significant relationship is found between the perception of
higher secondary computer science students on teacher behaviour in total and their
achievement in computer science.

This study examines the study skills and the learning styles of university students by using scoring method. The study investigates whether the study skills can be summarized in a single universal score that measures how hard a student works. The sample consists of 418 undergraduate students of an international university. The presented scoring was method adapted from the domain of risk management. The proposed method computes an overall score that represents the study skills, using a linear weighted summation scheme. From among 50 questions regarding to learning and study skills, the 30 highest weighted questions are suggested to be used in the future studies as a learning and study skills inventor. The proposed scoring method and study yield results and insights that can guide educators regarding how they can improve their students’ study skills. The main point drawn from this study is that the students greatly value opportunities for interaction with instructors and peers, cooperative learning and active engagement in lectures.
The Effect of Parenting Style and Classroom Environment on the Mathematics Pe...ijtsrd
This paper aimed to investigate the relationship of parenting style and classroom environment on the mathematics performance of the students. The data was collected in 300 college students in Bukidnon State University. These students were already taken up Mathematics. The students were grouped by colleges and randomly selected. An adopted 5 point scale questionnaire was used in gathering information about the parenting style and attitude towards classroom environment. Their mathematics grade was also asked to measure their mathematics performance. It was found out that parents are dominantly using authoritative parenting they enforce rules but also welcome and open in the opinion and feelings of their children. However, in some situation they have to strictly imposed rules. Permissive parenting has no direct effect on math performance but has an indirect effect through authoritative parenting. Parents don’t just neglect their children and let them do whatever they want. Parents who are guiding their parents, implementing rules but giving them freedom to choose motivate the students to perform better in the class. Student raised by authoritative parents and taught with an effective teaching style motivate the student to participate in classroom activities, thus, improve his her academic performance. Lynn M.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Research on academic achievement of young students (Komarraju, Karau &
Schmeck, 2008), provides no reliable and consistent indication concerning the extent of
creativity, age and gender on academic achievement. A search on academic achievement
studies revealed that various variables had been identified as correlates of academic
achievement (Kutnick, & Layne, 2008). Research has also suggests that academic
achievement can be predicted through creativity testing (Hirsh Peterson, 2008).
STUDIES CONDUCTED ON HOME ENVIRONMENT
Today’s modern society expects everyone to be a high achiever .The key criteria
to judge one’s true potentialities and capabilities is perhaps scholastic /academic
achievement. Academic achievement has become an index of a child’s future.
Therefore, it is putting a great pressure on the minds of children and their parents. This
scholastic achievement is a function of cognitive and non-cognitive aspects of
personality, and is the resultant of various factors like personal, social, economic and
other environmental factors. Research studies have proved that a good, supportive
environment in home, school and neighborhood could enhance a child’s scholastic
achievement.
`Family being the first and major agency of socialization has great influence and
bearing on the development of the child. It has been shown by various studies that most
of the children who are successful /great achievers and well adjusted come from the
families where sustaining wholesome relationships exist. So, it is the home which sets
the pattern for the Childs’ attitude towards people and society, aids intellectual growth
in the child and supports his aspirations and achievements. A highly significant positive
relationship between the variables of academic achievement and family scores has been
assessed (Shaha and Sharma, 1984). Studies have revealed that high home environment
groups achieved greater success than middle and low home environment groups
(Jagannathan, 1986). It has also been reported that punishment aspect of home
environment has negative impact on achievement among girls. Other aspects of home -
environment viz. Permissiveness, control, protectiveness, conformity, deprivation of
privileges, nurturance and reward were not significantly related. She concluded that if
proper system of reward and punishment is followed, children shall certainly perform
well in school (Pandey, 1985). It has also been reported that a positive affective

55
relationship between parents and children increases the likelihood that the child will
initiate and persist in challenging and intellectual tasks. Positive and affective
relationship is likely to get hampered when control and punishment exist beyond
optimum limits.
Jagpreet Kaur (2009) has taken “Home Environment and Academic
Achievement as Correlates of Self-concept among Adolescents”. The present study is an
attempt to explore academic achievement and home environment as correlates of self-
concept in a sample of 300 adolescents. The results of the study revealed self-concept to
be positively correlated with academic achievement, though not significantly so. A
significantly positive relationship of home environment components of protectiveness,
conformity, reward, and nurturance with self-concept is revealed, thereby meaning that
use of rewards and nurturance from parents should be done for positive self-concept
development among adolescents. However, the correlation of social isolation,
deprivation of privileges and rejection components of home environment is significantly
negative with self-concept among adolescents indicating that for positive self-concept
development among adolescents, there should be less or no use of social isolation,
deprivation of privileges and rejection. The study has implications for educationists and
parents as well.
Juan J. Dolado and Eduardo Morales (2009) have studied “Which factors
determine academic performance of Economics Freshers? Some Spanish Evidence”.
This paper analyses the impact of several factors potentially affecting academic
performance of first-year undergraduates (fresher) in Economics at Universidad Carlos
III de Madrid during 2002-2005. Outcomes are the grades obtained in three core
subjects which differ substantially in their requirements of math skills. Our main finding
is that those students who completed a technical track at high school tend to perform
much better in math-intensive subjects than those who followed a social sciences track
and that the latter do not perform better in subjects where prior training in economics is
bound to be helpful.
HYPOTHESES
The investigator formulated the following hypotheses for the present study.
1. Economics students significantly differ among themselves in respect of their of
academic achievement.
2. Boys and girls significantly differ in their means home environment scores,

SAMPLE DESIGN
Tamil Nadu is one of the 28 states in the Indian Union. The present study was
conducted in the Namakkal educational district in state of Tamil Nadu.In the Namakkal
Educational District there are 29 private schools and 30 government schools. Out of
these 59 schools, only in 39 schools economics is offered as a subject under academic
stream. Therefore, the Global number of economics students studying in these 39
schools constitutes the Global population for the present study which is 918 for the
academic year 2010-2011. Table 1 shows the distribution of population and subjects of
the samples for the final study.

(iii) 44.55% of the population was selected for the sample.
Out of the 39 schools offering economics only under academic stream, 14
schools were selected for the present study. All the students studying economics in these
14 schools were selected as the subjects of the sample for the final study.
TOOLS USED IN THE STUDY
The following tools have been used to collect the data regarding the above
variables.
1. An achievement test in economics was constructed and validated by the
investigator himself to collect data regarding the academic achievement. The test
was constructed for XI standard students on basis of the new syllabus prescribed
during 2010 – 2011 by the Tamil Nadu Government based on the New
Education Policy (1986).
2. The economics interest questionnaire constructed and validated by
Muthumanickam (1992), “Study on academic achievement of students of higher
secondary economics group in relation to their reasoning ability, socio-economic
status and interest in Commerce” has been used as a tool in the present study.
Hence the investigator has decided in favour of this tool for use in the present
study.
