Howard and Sharp (1983: 6) define research as 'seeking through methodical processes to add
to one's own body of knowledge and hopefully, to that of others, by the discovery of
non-trivial facts and insights' Education does not occur within a vacuum. It is influenced
by social, political, historical, economical, technological and ecological factors. Research
alone can help us to explore education and the education process. The research articles in
this issue have made a global impact on quality education by discussing vital issues
regarding the interventional procedures in classroom teaching.
Dr. Selvakumar and Mrs. Sugantha Esther in their study have proposed an innovative instructional design 'Integrated active learning' and have found that it has a significant role in enhancing the level of thinking skills of students. Binulal in his study on the stress experienced by women teachers ponders on strategies to be worked out to minimise physical and mental strain of women teachers. The study on personality and Achievement in Zoology throws light on the significant correlation between them.
The article on 'Pedagogical designs for optimizing E-learning' by Dr. Sivakumar and Dr. Minnelkodi focuses on the various types of modalities of e-learning activities. Dr. Premila reflects on the positive effects of early educational intervention programmes for visually impaired children. The contributors in this issue have shared their experiences, thoughts and findings which are likely to widen the knowledge of the readers in the specific areas of new learning.
To sustain and strengthen the journey of this journal, the Editor invites from the contributor’s quality research articles that will have a global bearing on education.
