"The status of the teachers reflects the socio-cultural ethos of the society. It is said
that no people can rise above the level of its teachers".
Researchers today need the knowledge and skills of science more than ever before in the scenario of knowledge economy and knowledge management. Science requires visions and the ability to observe the implications of results. Collecting data is part of the scientific process and it also needs to be analyzed and interpreted. Data are the applied part of scientific method and the results of the real world observations of phenomena. Research revolves around using scientific method to generate hypotheses and provide analyzable results. The scientific approach to educational research is challenging.
All scientific research has a goal and ultimate aim, repeated and refined experimentation gradually reaching an answer. These results are a way of gradually uncovering truths and finding out the processes that drive the universe around us. Only by having a structure to experimentation, can results be verified as acceptable constructions to success. Here are a few researchers who have contributed to human knowledge with different phenomena and different designs.
The focus of the Binulal. K.R research paper on "Effectiveness of emotional intelligence training on enhancing teaching competency among student teachers" addresses the issue of need for development of emotional intelligence in order to develop teaching competency among student teachers. The article on Working Memory Deficits: development of working Memory Skills among sixth standard students indicates significant relationship between working memory skills and performance in English and Mathematics.
The article on "The study on the problems faced by higher secondary school students in learning computer science" by John Milin Sandeep. M reveals that there exists significant difference between the students in learning computer science with respect to content, teaching and examination. Dr.D. Sivakumar in his paper on "Problems faced by Postgraduate Biology teachers and their job satisfaction" has examined the problems in teaching and the influence of job satisfaction. Dr.R.Sahaya Mary, emphasises the importance of creativity in creating intellectual minds through her research on creativity of eleventh standard students in Chennai.
We express our sincere gratitude to contributors and we look forward to more quality research articles from you which have relevance to school and teacher education.
