Education today is increasingly shaped by social diversity, learner psychology, and the growing need for environmental responsibility. Understanding students’ backgrounds, learning processes, and attitudes has become essential for creating inclusive and effective educational practices. In this context, educational research provides valuable insights that help educators respond meaningfully to learners’ varied needs. This issue of the Indian Educational Researcher brings together a set of research articles that explore important dimensions of student learning and development.

Dr. V. Lincy Pushpa’s study, Impact of Socio-Economic Status of Higher Secondary School Students Studying in Different Medium, examines how socio-economic factors influence students’ educational experiences across different media of instruction. The findings highlight the role of equity and access in shaping academic outcomes and call for supportive interventions in diverse classroom settings.

The article Gender-Based Analysis of Learning Styles among IX Standard Students by J. Rubina and Sr. Lilly Mary offers insights into gender differences in learning preferences. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting inclusive teaching strategies that accommodate diverse learners and promote balanced academic growth.

Mrs. C. Sasikala’s research, A Study on Metacognitive Awareness among High School Students in Kerala, focuses on students’ ability to reflect on and regulate their own learning processes. The study underscores the significance of metacognitive skills in enhancing academic performance and lifelong learning.

Addressing a critical contemporary concern, Attitude towards Environmental Education of High and Higher Secondary School Students by R. Monisha and Dr. K. Mangai highlights students’ perceptions and awareness of environmental education. The article stresses the need for strengthening environmental consciousness through school curricula and experiential learning.

The issue concludes with The Eco-English Classroom: Teaching Language through Environmental Literature by Sr. Paulin Mary, which presents an innovative interdisciplinary approach to language teaching. The article demonstrates how environmental literature can be effectively integrated into English classrooms to promote language skills alongside ecological awareness.

The editorial team of the Indian Educational Researcher extends sincere appreciation to all the authors for their scholarly contributions. Their work enriches educational research and supports the journal’s mission to promote quality, relevance, and innovation in education.

We invite researchers, teacher educators, and scholars to contribute original research and conceptual papers to future issues of the Indian Educational Researcher, especially on themes related to inclusive education, learner psychology, sustainability, and innovative pedagogy.
