Editorial Notes January 12, 2009. Pages: 01-01.

It is with great pride that we at Stella Matutina College of Education bring out Volume 2 Issue 1 of the India Educational Researcher. This one year has been a learining experience for ail of us........a year where we have learned that bringing out a journal on time, with minimum errors and catering to the interests of a diverse cl1entele is not an easy task. I take this opportunity to thank all of you for your constructive criticism and feedback and hope that you keep writing to us, so that we can fly higher.

This issue opens with Dr. Gnanadevan's interesting paper on Reasoning Ability in Science of Higher Secondary Students in Relation to their Science Achievement. This is an area of research which can be pursued at the M.Phil and Ph.D., level and I am sure this paper will give some key indicators on how to proceed with the study.

The focus of Ms. Anisha Gopalakrishnan's research paper is Relationship between multiple intelligence and knowledge of content pedagogy of natural science secondary teacher education students. Her paper, addresses the issue of need for development of multiple intelligence in order to develop pedagogical content knowledge.

Teacher Education and NCTE: Fencing eats the crops is the title of Prof. Chauhan's article. The views expressed by him in the article point to the need for a national dialogue on the need for the existence of NCTE. Dr. Jitendra Sharma in his paper A Research into the functioning of the Regulatory bodies in Higher Education takes a look at the functioning of bodies like the UGC and NCTE.

In the past decade, the digital revolution has brought in major transformations to the methods and techniques of teaching - learning. Ms. V. Priya effectively exhibits the importance of critical web evaluation, highlighting various issues involved.

The book review on Teaching Nursery Rhymes has been done by Dr. M.C. Aruna, Managing Editor, Pearson Ed.. With her extensive exposure to books of all genres, her comprehensive book review makes us feel that this book is a must read. We look forward to divergent views on this challenging area from you.
