Towards Futuristic Visions
“No research without action, no action without research”
-Kurt Lewin
Our higher education system needs a new vision and aspiration to fulfil the needs and solve the
century's challenging issues. We need an educational system that is modern in look, liberal in
nature, and can acclimatize to the needs of the changing society, which confronts a changing
economy and culture. Improvement in quality research and innovations is the need of the hour.
India has stepped into the online mode of education at a higher level. Hence every aspect of
higher education must be reorganized and remodeled.
Teaching and research conducted must be scrutinized and emphasized with much more seriousness.
Measuring quality assurance, systematic analysis of accountability, and increased relationships
with industry and international collaboration, must be given due importance. Our education
system greatly needs a vision with a futuristic and prospective outlook on playing a significant
role in the future expansion of quality research in India.
The higher education system needs systemic reforms with a high-quality, affordable education
system. It is possible only when we have a robust framework that defines higher education's
mission and futuristic vision. Human factors in India need to be actualized. Research and
innovation need to be thought of afresh. A suitable trajectory to promote research and
innovation must result in high competence in research at the international level.
The knowledge generation process and the process of solving the problems can no longer be
treated in separate stages and must go beyond. Higher education must prepare individuals with
meta-skills such as language, communication, teamwork, data analysis, etc., that could be used
as a bridge for developing many other skills. Many Indian teachers and students are best for
their research abilities and teaching. However, though these are the positive sides of Indian
higher education, many other unfortunate realities related to education in Indian researchers
must provide services to international students by improving infrastructure and avoiding
rigidity in the admission process, curriculum, and teaching-learning process. Only a nation
based on research outlook and productivity through innovation can sustain itself in the
ever-changing world.
Here are a few Researchers of the teacher preparation institutions who explored on various
issues. Malliga, T. made a Study on Awareness about Water Conservation among Selected High School
Students and found that high school students studying in Erode district had a moderate level of
awareness about water conservation.
Rama Priya, M.P. explored on Perception of Prospective Teachers on their Institutional Climate in
Tiruvallur District - A survey. Ascertains that Teacher Education programmers’ curriculum,
pedagogy, and evaluation needs to be made more objective and complete and more sensitive to
both educational and social circumstances. Mangai. K., and Auxilia Francina, V. Spiritual
Intelligence among Prospective Teachers in Chennai District. Opines that Strengthening the
Spiritual Intelligence must be a part of Teacher Education in order to build a harmonious
society. Spiritual Intelligence is very much essential for the teachers as well as the students
as it improves the focus of one’s IQ. Muthu Lakshmi, K. made a study on Perspectives on
Self-Regulated Learning claims that Teacher should understand the importance of self-regulation
of the learner and its impact on 21st century society. They have to organize and develop their
beliefs, values, attitudes, knowledge, discipline and behaviour of the students to promote as a
self-regulated learner. Santhi, R. made a study on Leadership Development of Teacher and claims
expertise by mentoring, peer observation and coaching, leading engagement with families and
communities, and taking on responsibilities for curriculum or school improvement activities
leverages leadership qualities.
We are express our sincere gratitude to contributors and we look forward to articles on
philosophy of education, learning theory, technology and research on current issues. Quality
articles based on reflections and reading will also be considered for publication.
