The science which deals with the study of living objects is called Biology. Thus the subject involves the studies of all kinds of micro-organisms, plants and animals. Biology is related to mankind ever since the origin of man, therefore this branch of science stands first in order of studies as compared to other branches of science. Ever since the origin of life man is eager to know about various phenomenon of life processes such as health and disease, birth, growth and death. However, man depends on plants and animals for food, shelter and clothing which are immediate needs of life, come from Biology. Perhaps it was the elementary need of man to know about the living beings, so that maximum benefits can be drawn out of them. Though biology involves study of life, but now a days it is mostly centralised with the study of agriculture, animal husbandry, health and microbiology and related branches. Today study of any branch of science is not possible in isolation as it also involves principles of physics, chemistry and various other branches.
Chamber of dictionary answer the question for what is knowledge is (i) as the fact of knowing, (ii) information or what is known; (iii) the whole of what can be learned or found out. Further, it also knowledge as assured belief, that which is known, information, instruction, enlightenment, learning, practical skill and acquaintance. Considering all the above that are worthy of knowing. A term widely used by teachers, educators and policy makers is concept of knowledge and it refers to the body of information that teachers teach and that students are expected to learn in a given subject or content area such as English, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, or Social Studies. Concept of knowledge generally refers to the facts, concepts, theories and principles that are taught and learned rather than related to skills such as reading, writing, or researching that student also learns in academic courses.
Knowledge is not truth. Truth is inferred on the bases of available knowledge. The truth about the universe around us or the macrocosm to the microcosm is inferred knowledge. The knowledge of galaxy is inferred; so is the whole nuclear science, space, DNA etc,. Much of what we knew is not observed knowledge. They are known through their effects, properties, and characteristics. It is at the stage of inference that employment of methods for drawing inferences that philosophy is at work. Knowledge certified by the philosophy enters the curriculum of education. Methods approved by philosophy for building knowledge from the bases of methods and techniques of teaching. The truth arrived by philosophy sets the goals and objectives of education as well as instruments and uses of evaluation. Like this knowledge helps philosophy to interpret, guide, monitor and validating the educational process at every stages.

Inclusive education is educating ALL students in age-appropriate general education classes in their neighborhood schools, with high quality instruction, interventions and supports so all students can be successful in the core curriculum. Inclusive schools have a collaborative and respectful school culture where students with disabilities are presumed to be competent, develop positive social relationships with peers, and are fully participating members of the school community. Inclusive education has grown from the belief that education is a basic human right and that it provides the foundation for a more just society. All learners have a right to education, regardless of their individual characteristics or difficulties. Inclusive education initiatives often have a particular focus on those groups, which, in the past, have been excluded from educational opportunities.

E satisfaction e-loyalty of consumers shopping onlineAbu Bashar
With the advent of information technologies and emergence of online stores, the
online shopping has not been the same as it was in the past. Now in order to strive
in this cut throat competition it is of vital importance for the organizations to
understand the factors that matter for consumers when they shop online. As the
competition in e-commerce is intensified, it becomes more important for online
retailers to understand the antecedents of consumer acceptance of online
shopping. Such knowledge is essential to customer relationship management,
which has been recognized as an effective business strategy to achieve success
in the electronic market. The current research study is an effort to understand
the satisfaction and loyalty pattern for the consumers shopping online. The objective
of this research is to study the impact of emotional state and perceived risk of
remote purchase on e-satisfaction during the Internet shopping. As well, it aims
to study the influence of e-satisfaction on e-loyalty. The data gathering was carried
out by a questionnaire. The results show that three dimensions of the emotional
state during Internet shopping (the pleasure, stimulation and dominance) have a
significant positive impact on e-satisfaction. Dimensions of the perceived risk of
remote purchase, (the total risk, the financial risk, the social risk, the
psychological risk, the functional risk, and the physical risk) don't have a significant
impact on e-satisfaction, except the risk of loss of time has a negative impact.
Finally satisfaction influences positively and significantly the e-loyalty of the cyber
consumers.
The main purpose of the paper is to determine the correlation of consumers’ demographic factors on
the impulse buying behavior with respect to a number of single impulsivity indicators and one collective
indicator. The paper consists of theoretical and research aspects. The first part encompasses theoretical
insights into the secondary research regarding impulse buying while the practical part presents the
methodology and primary research results. With respect to the subject matter, research goals as well as
previous findings and primary research results, corresponding hypotheses were set and mainly confirmed.
Inter variable correlation and regression analysis has been performed to test the hypothesis. The results
showed that demographic factors, such as the disposable income and age, are related to most impulse
buying indicators and to the impulsivity collective indicator. However, educational qualification and
gender produced marginal association with impulsive buying behavior. The paper also summarizes
research limitations as well as the work contribution and future research guidelines.
OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING SCIENCE
Education is a process of bringing about changes in an individual in a desired direction. It is a process of helping a child to develop his potentialities to the maximum and to bring out the best from within the child. To bring about these changes we teach them various subjects at different levels of school. Science as subject is included in the school curriculum from the very beginning.
Before taking any decision about teaching science we should pose certain questions to ourselves, such as,
• Why do we teach them science?
• What are the goals and objectives of teaching science?
• What changes does science teaching bring about in the behaviour of the students?
Gender refers to the roles and responsibilities of men and women that are created in our families, our societies and our cultures. The concept of gender also includes the expectations held about the characteristics, aptitudes and likely behaviours of both women and men (femininity and masculinity). Gender roles and expectations are learned. They can change over time and they vary within and between cultures. Systems of social differentiation such as political status, class, ethnicity, physical and mental disability, age and more, modify gender roles. The concept of gender is vital because, applied to social analysis, it reveals how women’s subordination (or men’s domination) is socially constructed. As such, the subordination can be changed or ended. It is not biologically predetermined nor is it fixed forever.
Role and importance of language in the curriculumAbu Bashar
The language is always believed to play a central role in learning. No matter what the subject area, students assimilate new concepts when they listen, talk, read and write about what they are learning. Speaking and writing reflects the thinking process that is taking place. Students learn in language, therefore if their language is weak, so is their learning.
The constitutional provision of educationAbu Bashar
The Constitution of the country was adopted on Nov. 26, 1949 and came into force on Jan 26, 1950. The Preamble of the Constitution outlines the social philosophy which should govern all our institutions including educational. Right to Education is one of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India. The Constitution of India gives a few directions and suggestions for the development of education in the countries which are also called constitutional provisions.
In much modern usage, the words ‘teaching’ and ‘teacher’ are wrapped up with schooling and schools. One way of approaching the question ‘What is teaching?’ is to look at what those called ‘teachers’ do – and then to draw out key qualities or activities that set them apart from others. The problem is that all sorts of things are bundled together in job descriptions or roles that may have little to do with what we can sensibly call teaching. Another way is to head for dictionaries and search for both the historical meanings of the term and how it is used in everyday language. This brings us to definitions like: “Impart knowledge to or instruct (someone) as to how to do something; or Cause (someone) to learn or understand something by example or experience”
Women empowerment’ is the process of enabling and developing ability or potential in women so that they can think and act freely, exercises their choice and control their lives and thereby reducing discrimination and exploitation towards them. It brings about upliftment of women in social, economic and political spheres where they are able to play an equal role at par with men in society. But women who constitute half of the population in India yet they have been subjected to the oppression of patriarchal order and suffered from fewer rights and lower social status than men for centuries.
After the World War II, in the post modernization era, one of the issues which had attracted the attention of the policy makers and social scientists was gender issues and concerns. Gender issues mean the discussion on both men and women, though women who suffer from gender inequality. From all gender issues, gender inequality is the most prevalent in India. Consideration of gender inequality is now common in Government, Non-Government organizations, and in the politics in India. The policy makers are strongly believed that a positive commitment to gender equality and equity will strengthen every area of action to reduce poverty because women can bring new energy and new sights. A lot of debates are going on women and their development since last few decades. Thus, several national and international organizations are trying to promote the advancement of women & their full participation in developmental process & trying to eliminate all forms of inequality against women. The importance of feminism has been steadily growing and gaining intellectual legitimacy.
Language is the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, and a language is any specific example of such a system. The scientific study of language is called linguistics. Questions concerning the philosophy of language, such as whether words can represent experience, have been debated since Gorgias and Plato in Ancient Greece. Thinkers such as Rousseau have argued that language originated from emotions while others like Kant have held that it originated from rational and logical thought. 20th-century philosophers such as Wittgenstein argued that philosophy is really the study of language. Major figures in linguistics include Ferdinand de Saussure and Noam Chomsky.
The work of speech organs necessary for making speech sounds is called articulation. According to
The specific character of articulation, especially according to the presence or absence of the obstruction speech sounds are divided into vowels and consonants. The most substantial difference between vowels and consonants is that in the articulation of vowels the air passes freely through the mouth cavity, while in making consonants an obstruction is formed in the mouth cavity or in the pharynx and the flow of the air meets a narrowing or complete obstruction. Vowels have no fixed place of articulation, the whole of the speaking apparatus takes part in their formation, while the articulation of consonants can be localized, and an obstruction or a narrowing for each consonant is formed at a definite place of the speaking apparatus. In producing vowels all the organs of speech are tense, while in making consonants, the organs of speech are tense only in the place of obstruction. Voice prevails in vowels while in most consonants noise prevails over voice. Vowels are syllable forming sounds while consonants are not, as a rule.
Reading, in very simple words, is the process of looking at a piece of written work, make out what is written on the page or sheet and understand what is written there.
Here, we have to make a distinction between reading silently and reading aloud. These two ways of reading have different purposes. Primarily, reading aloud is done to make others listen and understand and reading silently is to read "in the mind", so that we can understand, what we are reading, better. The teacher reading out a lesson or a story or a poem in the classroom is a good example for reading aloud. People reading the newspaper or a magazine at home or elsewhere is a good example of reading silently. In other words, reading aloud is aimed at improving our pronunciation while reading silently helps in improving our comprehension.
Drama is a word of Greek origin meaning "action" and referring to a performance on the stage in which actors act out the events and characters of a story. A dramatic work is usually called a play, but if you want to specify what type of drama it is, you can call it a comedy, a. tragedy, a farce or tragicomedy or other names. As wel1 as a play, drama usually involves
o a playwright or dramatist, that is, the author of the play;
o a stage, that is, the area in a playhouse or theatre where the play is performed;
o an audience, that is, the people who go to the theatre to watch the performance.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

Role of the teacher in facllitating growth and development
1. ROLE OF THE TEACHER IN FACLLITATING GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT
What we know about the child is vast and impressive. However,what we do not know is even more vast
and overwhelming. Every new insight opens up new questions. Therefore, you need to update your
knowledge of the problems of children in the context of the media explosion, of economic smvings and
resultant social, cultural and value changes so that you are able to make a reliable diagnosis and apply the
knowledge of child psychology to better their adjustment with themselves and with the world around them.
You, as a teacher, should know what to expect from the child (student), and what he needs physically,
socially and emotionally. You need not know your student only in a formal teacher-taught relationship
when he (the student) is found to be a member of a drug sub-culture group or is heading in a socially
undesirable direction. The routine teacher-taught relationship would not benefit him unless he is dealt with
empathetically as a social being, as an individual self, and as a biological organism.
You should accept and make your students accept the reality of physical and biological changes so that the
transition takes a smooth course without causing any psychological disadvantage. You need to create such
challenging conditions which may lead to the effective coordination of physical, mental and other functions
in order to ensure adequate adjustment to probable life situations. Yet another task that you should ensure
is to secure effective and desirable responses,and prevent or eliminate ineffective or undesirable ones. One
way is to arrange conditions in a way that make desirable responses satisfying and not annoying.
Punishment should be administered judiciously lest it generates negative reactions.
Positive training in self-direction and self-control should be given to students. Some of the' following points
can be kept in mind while guiding them:
Control and guidance must come from the student himself under the teacher's supervision.
Student should not be punished lest it interferes with his developing leadership.
Harsh,strict and unsympathetic control, and prescription of every detail of conduct leaving no place
for self-control and self-direction are not conducive to student’s mental health and adjustment to
life's events.
Proper guidance, rational shifts of treatment, and principles of autonomy should be judiciously
applied to ensure smooth passage through the turbulent period of student.
It is around the adolescence stage that students reach the higher levels of their school education. You need
to receive adequate knowledge and skills with due preparedness in order to handle their emotional and
social needs.You need to appreciate the factthat students at this stage are prone to revolt against established
norms, rules, and authority. You should keep yourself ready to provide explanations and rationale for the
beliefs and values which your students would question. Students atthis time needproper guidance to decide
on the right course of action. They need supportive judgments to do things which provide them self-
confidence and self- assurance. The range of individual differences in mental ability among adolescents is
wide. You need to use some plan of classification to secure homogeneous groups in respect of significant
abilities and achievements so that curricular and instructional needs can be suitably met. Studies have
indicated that in certain tasks a student's performance would improve when others (teachers) are around.
This phenomenon is called social facilitation. However, this is not a universal phenomenon. Still other
studies have shown that when a student is first trying to learn something new, the presence of others is
detrimental. In such a situation the teacher has to assess the situation (considering the class as a social unit)
and the personality traits of his students and accordingly he should facilitate their growth and development.
2. The teacher or the school has a major role in facilitating the overall development of children once they
are enrolled in the school.
The purpose of discussingvariouslevelsandtypesof developmentinthiscourse istomake youaware of
the underlying principles of child development in the school environment.
The knowledge thusgainedwill helpyouunderstandthe educational implicationsof the physical,social,
emotional and moral development of children, while designing curricular and co-curricular activities of
the school, you are expected to consider certain points which contribute towards the smooth
development of children’s personality. Some of the important points are discussed in the following
paragraphs.
Educational implications of physical development:
It should now, be obvious that the physical health of children is indispensable for their success and
efficiency in all fields of life. This aspect of development should, therefore, be paid the attention it all
those dealingwiththe educationandwelfareof the children.The school musthave aregularProgramme

manner.Youwill agreethatbrief,interestingandeasilyunderstandabletasks,introducingthemtovarious
developmentstages,isboundtohelpthemformacorrectpicture intheirownminds'regardingtheirown
changing selves and their roles in life. This may also serve as safeguard against the possibility of their
developing irrational worries regarding abrupt development taking place in their bodies.
You, as a teacher, can accomplish this task properly if you possess a sound knowledge of the physical
developmentof children.With the increasedrate of physical change consequentuponthe transitionfrom
one phase of developmenttoanother,theirbehaviorandattitudesare alsoboundtochange.Youshould,
therefore,realizethatvaryingtreatment,suitabletothe physical growthlevel,isneededbychildren.The
upperprimary, secondaryand seniorsecondarystudentsare very tenderphysically.Theyneedas much
affection and tender treatment in the classroom as possible. Developing children must not be rashly
stuffed with bookish learning. Their educational programs should include a combination of varied
activities in and out of the classroom.
Adolescentsneedsympatheticunderstandingandfriendliness.Theyare clumsy,awkward,aggressiveand
often violent. Intelligent guidance of their maturing physical energies can direct their vigor and
enthusiasm to healthy and useful channels. In short, a differential treatment adequate to the
developmental stage of childrenis neededfromyourhands. A rigidand uniformtreatmentforall levels

development of children is exceedingly dependent upon healthy physical growth.
You should also promote the development of positive and healthy feelings in children, regarding the
presentstate of theirphysical health.A stronglyoptimisticapproachtowardstheirphysical well-beingis
bound to have a desirable effect on their general health as well as on social, cultural, emotional and
intellectual growth. Taking cake of physical health of the children at the school leave is the primary
function of the physical Health instructor and the gymnastics and sports teacher.
3. Educational implications of social development:
It might have become evident by now that the social growth of children is a significant process which
cannotbe ignoredbythe teachersandthe parents.Children'ssocial developmentaffectstheirentirelife,
includingtheirscholasticachievement.The school should,therefore,endeavor toprovide adequate and
ample opportunities favorable to the social growth of the children.
It should aim at creating such a healthy atmosphere in and outside the classroom that children feel' it
convenient, pleasant and desirable to develop satisfying social relations with all those with whom they
come incontact. The general attitude of a classteacher mustaim to promote a feelingof securityinthe
minds of children, each student should be helped to develop healthy and desirable relations with

of education is to develop in the student useful knowledge, skills, habits and attitudes that are
fundamental to successful and effective social living.
The teacher should, therefore, lake care that he imparts knowledge in an interesting and stimulating
