Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. 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: 246-251 A good teacher is one who is able to inspire and motivate her/his students. For this, it is crucial for her/him to have excellent communication skills. Communication skills help teachers in motivating students, building an effective teaching-learning environment, using information and technologies, understanding students and making oneself understood, connecting with students and colleagues, collaboration, maintaining discipline, using resources effectively, facilitating class and out-of-class activities, etc. These skills are not only fundamental to teaching but also interacting with different stakeholders in the educational set up and beyond, and in all aspects of life in general. The objective of this research is to study the Status of Communication Skills of Prospective Teachers. Data was collected from a total of 400 prospective teachers from eight teacher training colleges of Udaipur district, Rajasthan, India, selected using the Stratified Random Sampling Method. A self-developed tool 'Communication Skills Questionnaire' was used for data collection using the survey method. The findings of the research indicated that overall, the Status of Communication Skills of the Prospective Teachers is unsatisfactory. As compared to Prospective Teachers from the Social Science Faculty, the Communication Skills of Prospective Teachers from the Science Faculty were found to be better. No significant difference was found in the Communication skills of Graduate and Postgraduate Prospective Teachers. In the context of Male and Female Prospective Teachers, no significant difference was found in their Communication Skills.

Pages: 252-258 Workplace demographics is changing significantly in the recent times. There has been an unexpected shift in the workforce composition as three to four generations coming to work together in most of the organizations. So the real challenge is to retain senior employees who are valuable but at the same time recruiting young and bright talents. This is dependent upon the understanding of the requirements of rewards, training needs, and the different motivational level of the generational cohorts. Currently five Generations make up the workforce. They are Traditionalist, Baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y and a recent addition of Generation Z but the purpose of this study is to assess and compare the relationship between work motivation and burnout levels of Generation X and Generation Y. For this Work Motivation Questionnaire by Agarwal (1990) and Maslach Burnout Inventory by Maslach, Jackson, and Leiter (1981) were taken. Results indicate significant difference in the work motivation and burnout levels of Generation X and Generation Y Pages: 252-258Jayatika Sinha (Department of Applied Psychology, Amity Institute of Psychology & Allied Sciences, Amity… |
Pages: 259-264 Recent lockdown due to Covid-19 pandemic proved that e-learning overcomes the barriers of time space and location, when many institutes used e learning to continue education while their institutional buildings were shut down. Though the teachers managed to go for on teaching, students may be reluctant to use e learning due to many factors such as lack of self-efficiency, self efficacy and computer skills. The current research was undertaken to study access, usage pattern of e-learning services and the perception of students towards e-learning in Punjab state. Overall, most of the male and female students had access to e-learning devices such as smartphone, laptop and computer. The findings showed that on an average, students were using internet for more than three and half hours daily and they were using internet since more than five years. Students had positive perception towards perceived ease of use and usefulness of e-learning system. Overall, the students had positive perception towards e-learning and therefore teaching facultiesshould blend e learning in their day to day teaching to make learning more meaningful and interesting. Gender comparison showed that male have more positive perception than female for e-learning.

Pages: 265-269 In Indian houses, women make every effort for the integrity of the family whole-heartedly and take care of family members sincerely. Women are more responsible for nutritional, emotional and social needs of the family especially in rural areas. But their contribution has hardly been recognized due to lack of few basic and advance skills. Therefore, the current study was planned to capture the skill gaps of rural women for short duration training courses. The study was carried out on 120 rural women from Punjab State. Majority of the women were from schedule caste, landless, low economic strata, young, educated only up to intermediate level and were home makers. Skill gap analysis shows that skill on stain removal was most preferred by the rural women. This was followed by tie and dye, therapeutic diets, geriatric care and consumer rights besides other skills. Their interest in tie and dye bakery, preservation and flower arrangements depicts that women want to create resources for their families by using locally available inputs. These skills if polished properly will help them to generate income and contribute to family income as majority of women were from low socio economic status families.

Pages: 270-274 The major purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing trainees' career choice among technical and vocational training trainees. This study was delimited to see factors influencing trainees' career choice like family influence, peer influence, job opportunity influence and school influence on trainees' career choice in the study area. This study was conducted in Kidus Lalibela and Kobo technical and vocational colleges. Atotal of 140 (78 male & 62 female) trainees was taken as samples of the study. The Stratified random sampling technique was applied to select these samples. The data gathering instruments used in the study were questionnaire. Cronbach alpha was employed to test the reliability of the instrument. The data were analyzed by using mean, variance; standard deviation and one sample t-test to describe the characteristics of the sample. The findings of this study revealed that: there was a statistically significant mean difference between peer influence (t=9.039), school influence (t=9.064), job opportunity influence (t=22.17) and the expected mean value, but there was no statistically significant mean difference between trainee's family influence on career choice and expected mean value (t=.0.865). There was no statistically significant mean difference between trainee's family influence on career choice and expected mean value. There were statistically significant mean differences among family, peer, school, and job opportunity influences on the career choice of trainees. Recommendation: Family, school, ministry of labor and social affairs and ministry of education should work jointly in providing accurate, timely, and relevant career related information for students at different levels so that students can adjust their future career and professional life. This will make students to be productive members of the country. Pages: 270-274Wossen Ayalew Tegegne (College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Bahir Dar… |
Pages: 275-282 The study was conducted to examine to what extent teachers as a parent had participated in their children's learning, and it also focused on how Selam elementary school was inspired to involve parents in the children's schooling. Grounded theory was used as a design of the study. Parents, teachers, and school leaders were taken as participants of the study randomly. To collect data from these members, interviews and FGD were employed, and the data were analyzed by using open, axial, and selective coding approaches. According to the findings, most parents went to school only when their children achieved low academic performance, or they misbehaved; teachers made discussions with parents of children that have misbehaved and were academically weak. Moreover, the outputs showed that the school was failed to encourage parents to get involved in school activities and in their learners' learning. Generally, the parental involvement of Selam primary school was futile as parenting roles such as parenting, learning at home, and communicating were focused by parents via ignoring the other three their responsibilities: volunteering, decision making, and collaborating. Therefore, parents are required to give priority for their children's instructional activities, and teachers need to involve parents in the instructional process regularly by designing a communication plan with appropriate means of interaction. The school also has to work on how teachers and parents solve students' instructional problems by interacting regularly Pages: 275-282Mollaw Abraha (Department of Pedagogical Science, Woldia University, Woldia, Ethiopia) |
