After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 194-197 The present research investigation is aimed to make a comparative study of teaching attitude among private and government secondary school teachers. It was hypothesized that private school teachers would have better teaching attitude as compared to government school teachers. The sample of the present investigation comprises N= 300 senior secondary school teachers, 150 each from private and government schools. In each group there were 75 male and 75 female teachers. The respondents were randomly selected from different private and government secondary schools of Aligarh. The age of the respondents was found to be ranges between 22-50 years. Teaching attitude of the respondents was assessed by Teacher attitude scale by J.C Goyal (1984). The reliability and validity of this scale is well established. For analyzing the data and obtaining the appropriate results t-test was used. The teaching attitude was found to be statistically significant. The findings of the present research have far-reaching implications in the current world of educational development.

Pages: 188-193 The main focus of this study was to examine the researcher's reconstructed views about Life Skills Education approach in Civic Education for the development of Human Resource in Indonesia's creative industry. It has been based on the existing gap between the real situation and the conceptual framework (Das Sein and Das Solen) about human resource and the required life skills to operate in the industry. In the context of this study, the problem being referred to is the issue of globalization and the limited employment opportunities for the increasing numbers of the working age group in the country. The research employed a qualitative approach. This approach helped in the reconstruction of life skills education views and character education (Constructivism) for the field of civic education through a phenomenological approach. I relied on the respondents' views to explore and to establish appropriate views for the study. The data was gathered through: (1) the review of literature; (2) in-depth interview of the participants, practitioners and the students taking courses on creative industry, as well as the participants from the creative industries; (3) observation of respondents. The data, was processed through a reduction process, analysis and presentation were done qualitatively. Conclusion: (1) the transmission of national values or the reconstruction of a social system in the educational institutions can be conducted through civic education, the transmission can cover character education and civic skills; (2) as a holistic framework in shaping citizens skills for a positive contribution to the social system, civic education should be able to shape people's character and life skills, needed for human performance; (3) the education soft skills within civic education have become the basic foundation for the establishment of good character, smart citizens and a creative nation. This makes this form of education a very important component in the teaching and learning process, which in turn helps to generate human resource that is able to adapt to the demands of the rapidly changing era in the creative industries.

Pages: 182-187 This is a research about the implementation of a competency-based training as a human resources development program. It aims to establish the procedures for the implementation of competency-based training which consist of three steps, planning, implementation, and evaluation, in Nalendra Hotel Bandung. The supporting theories used in this research are: the theories of human resources development proposed by Soekidjo Notoatmodjo (1992), the theories of training proposed by Robert L. Craig (1989) and Nedler (1984), and the theories of competency and competency-based training by Kevin Lohan (1995) and William E. Blank (1982). The methodology used in this research is qualitative approach using the case study method. The data was obtained from observation, interview, and documentation of the study. The subjects of this research consist of instructors, training participants and the organizers of the training program. There were three steps used when conducting this research: pre-field activities, field activities and intensive analysis. The research results can be concluded as follows: The procedures for the implementation of employees' training program in Nalendra Hotel Bandung with a competency based-approach as an attempt to develop human resources are: a) Planning: being the study of identification process towards the training need, training curriculum design, recruitment process of training participants, selection of learning and funding sources, elaboration of training materials, procurement of learning facilities, selection of training method and the techniques, and arrangement of evaluation tools; b) Implementation: this is the condition of the learning atmosphere and pre-test, delivery of learning materials, application of learning materials and the techniques, practice; and c) Evaluation: The pre-test, process test and post-test, so that this competency-based training program can run effectively and efficiently when those three components are done carefully, considering the principles of competency-based training. In relation to what the researcher found, there are some recommendations that can be considered: a) To optimize research results, Nalendra Hotel should show appreciation directly to the employees who have passed and awarded a certificate for their competent mastery so that it can improve their motivation to follow other training programs seriously, b) It is necessary to conduct an in-depth study to know the effectiveness and usefulness of this kind of training for a company, considering that this competency-based training program was conducted for the first time, and c) Organizers should be able to develop and increase the cooperation among training participants, instructors, and all parties related to the training program, because the success of this training program is not the responsibility of only one aspect, but it requires good co-operation from all the parties.

Pages: 173-181 The study investigated the effects of the three different instructional strategies used in briefing sessions of Microteaching Lesson about the skill of stimulus variation as it relates to the motivation of pupil teachers. Motivation of pupil teacher is assessed by ARCS model of John Keller in Indian conditions. Motivation scale was further standardized and adapted by the author by using factor analysis and alpha Cronbach's. The purpose of this investigation was to identify how different instructional strategies affected learner motivation in a workplace training situation. Three formats were selected for evaluation i.e. Power Point presentations that consisted of still slides with demonstrations of techniques discussed, lecture presentations by experts on the subjects that included use of overhead projector as well as demonstration of skills, and the motivational designed applications that utilized an interactive Motivational Multimedia Format. These three instructional methods are considered as the representative of methods frequently used in the workplace. The proposed study has its inbuilt significance as it will dwell upon the most effective instructional strategies which lead to enhancement of the motivation amongst the learners. The participants in the present research were 93 pupil teachers, including participating in control group, experimental group 1, and experimental group 2, enrolled in three different sections of B. Ed. at Department of Education, Chaudhary Devi Lal University Sirsa during the winter 2012. The study adopted pre-test, post-test, control group, quasi-experimental designs with 2x3 factorial matrixes. Instruments used were practice teaching skill rating scales and learner motivation tool. Data was analyzed by using ANOVA, analysis of covariance, factorial designs etc. It has emerged that there is significant main effect of instructional strategies on motivation level of teacher trainees in briefing session of micro teaching lesson about teaching skills.

Pages: 168-172 Life skills are the abilities for adaptive and Positive behaviour that enables the individual to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the incidence of life skills in a random sample of 300 adolescents from Sangrur district of Punjab. Life skills scale by Sharma (2003) was used to measure life skills among adolescents. The descriptive statistics revealed that adolescents in the sample possess an above average level of life skills. The results of t-test revealed non-significant gender differences in life skills among adolescents. However, significant differences were observed in life skills among adolescents in terms of location, type of school, caste and across high and low levels of academic achievement. Implications of the results are discussed. Pages: 168-172Dalvir Singh and Jagpreet Kaur (Department of Education, Punjabi University, Patiala) |
Pages: 161-167 Nowadays, a large part of teacher leadership studies have been focused mainly on the principal as a key factor in the results of students' success. Nevertheless, some recent literature is available that discusses other faculty members who without leaving their classroom responsibilities, assume distinct directive responsibilities on an intermediate level. This article explores some of the salient characteristics that distinguish the leadership of teachers in charge of other teachers, and discusses in particular the importance of tolerance and freedom. The text gives some clues about the process in which teachers feel challenged when they undertake the responsibility for an educational improvement project, being in charge of their peers, but without the managerial authority to exercise the influence over them. The evidence presented corresponds to the findings from a case study conducted on the topic of middle leadership from a group who coordinate a program to improve education in the area of language, in socially at risk schools in the Bío Bío region of Chile. The results of the study show among other aspects that both coordinators and peer educators agree that a necessary condition that characterizes middle leadership is to allow group members certain levels of initiative, decision making, and action in their tasks in the program.

Pages: 169-171 Education plays an important role in the development of any nation. Hence, it is required to give top priority for educational system which is possible mainly through teachers, in whose hands the destiny of our coming generation is placed. Thus, teachers who are shaping our children's future, should invariably possess job satisfaction along with other good qualities. This is because a teacher is more effective in his job only when he is satisfied with his job. Job satisfaction of teachers is therefore an utmost important factor in making the teaching profession more useful for the nation. The present paper reviews the relation between personality factors and job satisfaction among teachers. Pages: 169-171Wricha Malik (Department of HSB, GJUS&T, Hisar, Haryana) |
