ABSTRACT
Redesinging India for 21st Century implies a community of changed men and women. Here comes the role that Psychology can play. Value of Psychology as more as its being an applied Science. Change in man is related to human development, a field of study in Psychology. Psychologists have found that the Environment, particularly the home Environment structured by parenting determines the basic core of man’s make-up and lays the foundation for significant development, Recent researches in Psychology have related hat positive parenting may go a long way to achieve the objective of shaping child’s personality in such a way that he becomes well-integrated, value-oriented, morally strong, disciplined, sincere faithful and committed to the entire nation. If so, efforts can be made on making India a Great nation in 21st Century. Psychology as a Science of national reconstruction must, therefore, train the parents in behavior modification techniques for positive parenting on the lines of programmes run at Juniper Gardens of Kansas City (U.S.A.) and the Achievement Place, a farm house in Lawrence, at Maryland and Alabama by Psychologists like Lindsey, Bijou, Florence, Vance Hall, Montrose Wolf, Donald M. Beer, Risley,Kahen and others. Cohen in Maryland (U.S.A.) had claimed in 1974 to have a plan to manage the behavior of a whole community of Prince Georges country. These Psychologists claim to have succeeded in human engineering and declare to move, in future, to social engineering. Something like that in the form of extension programmes for training the parents in positive parenting must be done in India by Indian Psychologists at their universities and colleges. This paper discusses psychological strategy for bringing about human change needed for redesigning Indian for 21st century. It may be considered a strategy of national reconstruction through change in man of Indian society.

ABSTRACT
Innovation in teaching is necessary for the present and future education of students so that they can reach their full development. Education must help in the fulfilment of long term intellectual needs of the students. Due to innovative teaching it is seen that students usually engage themselves in variety of innovative, high-reasoning educational experiences, from high thinking games to real-world impacts. Various innovative techniques are like Introductory videos, Audio podcasts and conversation, Animation, Chat rooms, Self assessments, Synchronous and asynchronous forums. It is seen that in the field of teaching and learning Models of Teaching like Memory Model, Jurisprudential Model etc. introduced in Educational Technology has made a drastic changes compared to the old method which lead to blunt memorization of information. Innovative teaching involves: Models of teaching, Learning activities based on solving real life problems, Student centred learning strategies, Animation, Technology etc. Memorization model as an innovative technique in the field of teaching and learning is very important. As traditional teaching and learning process is based on rote memorization which is not at all effective in improving the learning ability or understanding the importance of learning among students, so it is very essential to use the new methods and strategies of teaching and learning so that students can understand the subject matter easily by active participation.

ABSTRACT
Indian education has gone through some major changes in its system ever since the introduction of new National Education Policy 2020. These changes are necessary to ensure that our children and our education system is up to date with the current modern system, technology and education. It has been evident that computer technology is the future of the world. Government of India under National Education Policy 2020 has recommended implementing coding classes from Grade 6 onwards. Since the students will be learning coding in their early years, they will be able to adapt to the changes that are going to take place in future. But for implementing these changes at the grass root level the preparation of school plays a major role. This research is a qualitative research that uses exploratory method to study whether the schools are prepared for implementing coding classes. The data was collected through surveys and semi-structured Interviews of schools in the region of Ghaziabad. The interviews consisted of a questionnaire which shed some light on the basic requirements for implementing coding classes. These requirements included the availability of basic infrastructure, proper system, computer labs, and broad-band connections, well trained faculty, properly designed teaching plan and any student training programs. On further observation, discussion and research, the researcher gathered the results and observed a common pattern amongst various schools which is highlighted in the study.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents a cooperative learning approach for inclusive science teaching, as part of the wider project objectives. In particular, this activity was aimed at developing and implementing good practice for dealing with ethnically diverse students, taking approaches that enable interaction, direct multidirectional communication, stimulate critical thinking, nurture curiosity, empathy, contribute to rethinking and changing attitudes, enhance cooperation,etc.Therefore, tandem or group forms of work were employed as they offer a variety of opportunities to stimulate students’ curiosity to discover and understand the differences in many aspects, as well as to support collaborative group relationships, debating, active listening, mutual assistance, etc. The idea was to test this approach and further expand it to new activities and in-depth research.
Two types of interactive activitieswere implemented in remote teaching and learning environment in the 2020/2021 school year, due to the closure of schools for face-to-face teaching as a result of the COVID-pandemic: Escape room, an innovative game-based learning approach, and Nearpod, a digital platform for interactive distance learning offering a lot of appropriate possibilities both for teachers and students. In both cases, the students areintroduced to content through dynamic multimedia and are mentally involved in the activity. This leads to increasing students’ motivation, which is very important for stimulating and achieving higher learning goals, as well as for developing positive attitudes towards learning.
These activities are part of a DiSSI project (Diversity in Science towards Social Inclusion – Non-formal Education in Science for Students’ Diversity). This project focuses on the development and implementation of innovative methods, instruments, and activities that deals with inclusive science education, mostly in a non-formal setting. The importance of pedagogical model of differentiation is seen in the fact that the model takes into account the needs of students with low socioeconomic status, students from different ethnic minorities or with a cultural background different from the dominant culture, students with low language skills and highly gifted students.

AUTHOR(S)
- Ms. Sheetal Rastogi
ABSTRACT
It is a known fact that with the beginning of new millennium many changes have taken place and this change is very much evident in Education as it is an intellectual activity that modernizes man in tangible ways. More over due to the explosion of knowledge, multiplicity of specialization of occupations, scientific and technological advancement, the role of Education has tremendously increased. It has to provide complete and total Education. “Education to be complete, must be humane, it must include not only the training of the intellect but the refinement of the heart and the discipline of the spirit. No Education can be regarded as complete if it neglects the heart and the spirit. No Nation in the world can hold its place of primacy in perpetuity. What count is the moral contribution we make to human welfare. Let us, therefore, try and develop the Qualities of charity in judgment and compassion for people who are suffering. If we adopt such an approach, the tensions of the world will diminish rapidly.”[Radhakrishnan]

AUTHOR(S)
- Ms. Veena Singh
ABSTRACT
Indian society is a complex society, where tradition and modernity have co-existed. Dalit women are a class that has been suppressed and handicapped by inhibitions. Inequalities between the sexes have been built in the minds of men and women right from birth through the socialization process in our family and society. No doubt Dalit female literacy rate has improved over the years. But despite various schemes, even now poor Dalit female literacy rate still exists. In Gautam Budhh Nagar girls are given facility of free education up to graduation but we have not been able to attain the aim of universalization elementary education. All the above reasons and factors encouraged the investigator to go for the present research.

Constructivist Approach As Transforming Pedagogy: An Experiment With Elementary Classes
AUTHOR(S)
- Mrs. Neha Gupta
ABSTRACT
This study used an experimental method to examine the impact of Constructivist training on teacher’s pedagogy. The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent the Constructivist training has transformed the attitude of the teachers towards their teaching pedagogy. It should be noted out here that the teachers selected for training were already trained In-service teachers using Behaviourist approach/ traditional approach in their classroom. This article will discuss how the training of Constructivism to teachers has helped them to change their pedagogy from Teacher centred approach to Student centred approach of teaching-learning. Data was collected using Ahulwalia Attitude Inventory and Achievement test of Social science developed by researcher. This article will focus on teachers related themes, the most important being the change in teachers pedagogy. In Learner centred classroom, the classroom environment changed as teachers allowed students to take more ownership in the learning process. As teachers took on the role of facilitators, improvement in rapport with students became apparent, which results in improved academic achievement of the students. Changing from a teacher centred environment to one that is student centred can be challenging. As teachers who are in service, have long tradition of using traditional approach of teaching, changing their teaching pedagogy is a challenging task for them. But it has been found in this research that after giving training and seeing the positive impact of it on the achievement of the students, teachers were convinced to transform their teaching pedagogy for the benefit of the learners.

AUTHOR(S)
- Rakhi Tyagi
ABSTRACT
Our mean to communication is the way in which we exchange our views , ideas and thoughts to each other. In ancient time there was very few ways of communications, as soon as the time passes away people are required to explore new ideas with the help of technology. They explored internet Emails, social media groups such as Face book, WhatsApp, WeChat, Internet calling, SMS services, Mobile phones, Telephones etc. Now a days the Technology is playing important role in education in with the help of smart board, OHP, Telescope and other Audio-Visual aids can be connected through internet and can collect the information from throughout the world. Technology is upgrading day by day but still there are so many places in rural areas where there is no connectivity of the internet/mobile services, because of that they are not able to use communication technology in their education. Only few people are able to manage reached to Metropolitan cities those are using communication technology in their education. Communication should be effective and efficient for those people who are listening; positive communication has a great impact over the students because it includes attention and respectful response. On the other side negative communication can never be use to explain your opinion and ideas. Communication is an effective tool which plays an important role to bind the people with each other. Communication plays a crucial role inbreaking the ice among different persons and making them close to each other and their managing organizational diversity.

In the context of the educational thoughts of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, a contemporary study of ancient and current Indian education

ABSTRACT
“Generally, in the world, the birth of a human being is meaningful for the welfare of human life, when progress has been made in the national, global, and humanistic aspects. Along with this, inspired by the feeling of global brotherhood, the world is uplifted. Indeed, great personalities are those whose national and international awareness contributes to the construction of life and the protection of culture. Such great personalities, rising above the bonds of birth and death, become immortal and serve as guides for society, promoters of humanity, inspirers of virtues, and inspirers of national ideals.
Our sacred land of India has been the birthplace of thinkers and philosophers for centuries. Such great personalities have not only kept alive but also developed the social and cultural values of the country. Their thoughts and philosophy have influenced the social and educational world, providing new directions from time to time. Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore is one such personality whose educational thinking has been observed in the context of the current national education policy.”
“Gurudev considered education to be an essential necessity of human life. In his view, education is a social process through which individuals achieve physical progress and attain spiritual fulfillment. From a practical perspective, Gurudev defined education as follows: ‘Real education is that which helps in understanding the true nature of useful things, using them, and protecting real-life with their help.’ Alongside this, Gurudev believed that creation is pervasive in every particle, and he held the view that the ultimate purpose of human life is to experience spiritual unity.
According to him, the highest goal or function of education, in his own words, is, ‘The highest education is that which establishes harmony between our lives and the entire creation.’
“Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore’s educational legacy has not only become an invaluable heritage for India but also for educational institutions worldwide. This great educationist of the Indian subcontinent not only impressed the entire world with his poetry but also propelled the modern national education system in a new direction through his educational philosophy. This immortal personality, transcending the limits of time, has inspired the establishment of an educational system that aspires to encompass the universality, generosity, intellectualism, tolerance, and an ideal society inherent in the world Indian culture. His vision has given impetus to the creation of an education system that is desirable for the well-being of a broad-minded and ideal society.”
