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.

The participants were fifty-five students in the experimental group and fifty-five students in the control group. The study included a pretest to find out students' reasoning skills before the new teaching strategy. The experimental group encountered cooperative problem-solving learning and higher-level questions over six-weeks period. The changes were directed at helping them reach higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. The control group received conventional teaching style. At the end of the six weeks, students in both groups were given a post-test to find out if they could answer higher-level questions. Analysis of paired t-test was employed to determine the results, which were substantial and establishing that the experimental group achieved at higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy than the control group. It is recommended for schools to incorporate the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy on a more frequent basis so that students will improve higher reasoning skills. Pages: 278-281

Metha analysis of about twenty reviews were done to provide a more comprehensive description of a phenomenon and generating analytical themes that emerge from and step beyond the descriptive themes. This could be the basis for development so long as persons with disability are effectively included in the education agenda. The journey is from mountainous churches where students attend Orthodox Church education (theology instruction) under trees and in small huts to fenced and relatively favorable classrooms. Ethiopians experience less inclusion today than previously within the earlier Christian education system under the Orthodox Church, which did not discriminate based on ability/disability. All students learned by encircling their church education teacher (“Yenetta”) at the centre. The teacher “Yenetta” being within the circle, instructs each learner according to his/her learning pace. The system didn't allow someone's ability to influence the other learner. Hence, all learners learn according to their own velocity. The purpose of this article is to highlight professionals in the field of special needs education about the nature of the delivery of early church education for persons with disabilities, how it was associated with early Christianity and to make comparison between the historical development of special needs education in Europe and ancient Ethiopia.

Pages: 264-272 Solomon Melesse Mengistie (Department of Teacher Education and Curriculum Studies, College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, East Africa) Ethiopia, with its diversified cultural groups, has its own distinctive calendar, writing, art, music, poetic forms and numeration system (Alemayehu & Solomon, 2017). This seems to have laid a foundation to establish traditional education for the purpose of transmitting these cultural heritages to the next generation. In addition, the introduction of different religious beliefs into Ethiopia has also led to the introduction of religious education in the country. These social and cultural foundations were influential factors that made the philosophy of Ethiopian education to be the training of the child in the beliefs and social values of the society. Hence the purpose of education became the transmission of worthwhile cultural heritages of the past to reconstruct the education system of the present. By doing so, retainable and worthwhile cultural heritages can be scrutinized and sustained; nonscientific and dogmatic beliefs and harmful cultural practices can be eliminated or at least be minimized. At the same time, knowledge of modern school system is to be used as a frame of reference to evaluate the merits and demerits of the traditional school system. This paper, after having outlined a review of the history of Ethiopian education past to present, has suggested some relevant recommendations. Pages: 264-272

Pages: 256-263 Ali Khosh Iqbal Fard and Mohammad Hasan Mirza Mohammady (Department of Education Science, Shahid University, Iran) Masoud Masoudi (Department of Psychology and Education, Faculty of Education, Herat University, Afghanistan, South Asia) The present study purpose is to obtain new educational implications derived from the adaptation of Farabi and Moren votes about science. This study has been done by a comparative procedure and using progressive inference method to discover educational implications. The study explains the findings after explaining the Farabi and Moren general idea, providing the quad questions and expressing the research method. According to these findings, Farabi it has perceived science is based on certainty, equal to value, united with philosophy, and considers and Moren science come from uncertainty with complex entanglements under the criticism of science in the modern world . Farabi and Moren have common opinions through training about the unity of science while multiplicity, the unity of science and philosophy, trans disciplinary training, increasing the authority of the student, and building an ideal society. They also have significant differences in the teleology, the place of logic in science and learning, the type of science unity, and the teleology of science. Significant implications have been provided to design a new educational pattern based on these recognized features of adaptation of the two philosophers' views on the subject of science in the final section. There is a new approach in designing the curriculum among this adaptation, which not only can solve the crises caused by specialization, but also by changing the viewpoint to science nature provide a possibility of synergy between specialists of various sciences from the learning stage.

In doing so, the whole policy and curriculum documents are reviewed vis-à-vis Beauchamp, Pinar, and McNeil's classifications of curriculum theories. In this regard, we feel that there are transparency illusions and ambiguities in setting a clear demarcation about curriculum conceptualization of various curriculum theories and theorists. Moreover, this paper is all about reflections on classical curriculum theories guiding curriculum conceptualization and its development in the current Ethiopian education system. In doing so, we tried to unite the curriculum theories that have almost similar views of curriculum conceptualization and its development. Throughout our reflections, we tried to depict our real life experiences and observations. The paper is organized to have an introduction, reflections against classical curriculum theories guiding curriculum conceptualization and its development in country Y, concluding remarks and critical recommendations.

Pages: 245-248 Rajinder Kaur, Vandana Kanwar, and Seema Sharma (Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab) Today, joint families have been broken down to either nuclear families or extended families. Lack of elder members in the family make young parents more anxious, less patient, more work- oriented and have less interpersonal relationships. The research paper is intended to explore the perceived loneliness among undergraduate students. The total sample comprised of 400 college undergraduate students. Perceived Loneliness Scale (L-Scale) standardized scale was used to determine the degree and extent of loneliness perceived by the students. Results indicated that though the majority of the students perceived an average level of loneliness, but the trend was towards higher side in all colleges except in College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology as well as in all the years of their degree programme. Inter-college differences in mean scores of COAE and T significantly differ from the mean scores of all other colleges. Respondents of COHSc perceived the loneliness at higher level whereas respondents of COAE & T perceived less loneliness. Gender differences in perceiving loneliness showed that females perceived more loneliness as compared to the males. Pages: 245-248

Pages: 240-244 Qaera Rasoli (Vice Chancellor of Kabul Polytechnique University, Kabul, Afghanistan) Role of practical works in lesson cooperation among chemistry students of Kabul education faculty is the topic selected to studied and research. The main objectives of this research are; distinguishing teachers' skills and competencies on using practical work method for create lesson contribution among students, finding students' interest rate for cooperation among each other, identifying the efficiency of laboratory works on lesson cooperation among students, furthermore, studying devices and materials needed for practical works in chemistry department of Kabul Education Faculty and challenges against lesson cooperation among students. In this research qualitative and quantitative (mixed) and review of the documents have been used. Data has been collected through questionnaires, interviews and observations. Population for this research is teachers and students of chemistry department of natural science faculty of Kabul University. The key results of the research are summarized as follow. Results in this research indicates using the method of practical and laboratory work in lesson contribution among students, making education and learning sustainable and permanent. Students are encouraged more through laboratory activities; they are more interested in lesson cooperation with each other. These contributions can cause lack of self-Confidence, insufficient encouragement by teachers, and mis-completion attitude among students. Findings revealed laboratory activities make lessons more interested and increases lessons' efficiency, make the students more confident on the reality of the topic. The most important challenges against this method are lack of location for laboratory activities and experiments, big number of the students in each class, lack of time for laboratory experiments, lack of sufficient laboratory supplements, lack of awareness and acquaintance of some the teachers from laboratory devices and lack of experienced laborants in the laboratory rooms. Learning chemistry is not sufficient, unless, using practical work method and it can lead students do not learn it based on action and experience and they (students) cannot use it their occupational and professional life. From the findings in this research it is inferred that increasing teaching time, materials and teachers' emphasis on the role of practical works in cooperation among students are effective. In addition, removing ethnical and religious prejudices and promoting the culture of educational contribution instead of mis competitions decrease the challenges against practical works, educational contribution among student. Findings of this research can, somehow, help to renovate education and teaching system for teachers, students and other stockholders in higher education. We hope the data of this research is used for implication of the idea to create educational contributions among students. Pages: 240-244

Pages: 237-239 Rekha Sapra (Department of Human Development and family Empowerment, Bharati College, University of Delhi, Delhi) The digital technology as a powerful influence on how and what we learn has been established by an array of researches in this domain. The relevance and significance of social and emotional skills has been researched extensively for its role in promoting well-being. The core skills, which have been identified by social-emotional learning (SEL) programs focus on self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness and relationship skills. The umbrella term for SEL includes skills of team work, collaborative abilities, negotiation skills, critical thinking, ethical and social responsibility and effective communication to name a few. SEL is still an emerging field of enquiry and fostering and promoting it through technology has powerful implications for positive outcomes. World Economic Forum notes that both current and leading edge tools have the potential to bring social-emotional competencies to school. Digital technology is a powerful and all pervasive tool which can be used positively in classroom situations. Teachers, researchers, psychologists, mental health professionals and all the stake holders can come together to make use of the available digital programs in a positive structured manner. The discussion in this paper are based on social media platforms and other games based learning solutions for enhancing critical skills of decision making, critical thinking, empathy, and ethical behaviour by children and adolescents. Use of Facebook in a responsible manner, dealing with comments on social media and many other digital platforms can be used by educators, psychologists and researchers in an interactive manner to promote student engagement, peer collaboration. Certain wearables do indicate if the stress level has increased. These are accompanied by positive suggestion and techniques like breathing exercises, soothing music. The digital technology is here to stay. Bring technology to the children in a responsible structured manner so that it becomes a fertile ground for learning the positive skills. Pages: 237-239

Pages: 232-236 Shatakshi Semwal and Ella Rani (Department of Extension Education and Communication Management, I.C. College of Home Science, CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana) India has gone through a lot of changes during these past years, first there was demonetization and now there is Goods and Services Tax. It was introduced on 1st July 2017 and with the implementation of this new concept there has been a slowdown in our Indian economy and turbulence in financial volatility. So, there arises the need of understanding of this new concept. The research focuses on finding out the perception of shopkeepers through their knowledge and attitude about Goods and Services Tax. The study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana state. The findings highlighted that majority of the shopkeepers had medium to low knowledge and neutral to favorable attitude towards Goods and Services Tax implementation. Our economy was in need GST for a long-term and it demands more clarity through mass media. There was positive significant correlation between the knowledge and years of experience of the shopkeeper but there was no significant correlation between the attitude and other independent variable as attitude of the respondent was neutral. Thus, it can be concluded that with the universal tax rates, GST has increased the transparency and tax collection but it has also resulted in technological glitches while filling the GST returns.

Pages: 227-231 Sreeparna Chowdhury (Syamaprasad Institute of Education and Training, Kolkata, West Bengal) Santoshi Halder (Department of Education, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, West Bengal) Academic achievement has become the prime concern of teachers, parents as well as of students in the 21st century. Academic achievement decides future success, social acceptance, emotional stability and self-esteem. Therefore, the prime concern of present day teaching-learning process is the eradication of low achievement. An important factor which creates performance gap between high and low achievers is the use constructivist learning strategies. High achievers were often found as more self-regulated learners and better users of cognitive constructivist strategies. Academic help-seeking is one such under focused constructivist strategy which plays an important part in students' learning but has been ignored by researchers for a long time. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to enlighten the readers about the role of academic help-seeking as a constructivist strategy in academic achievement and how high and low achievers differ in academic help-seeking. Based on the findings from different literatures, the present paper also established the fact that high achievers are better help-seekers than low achievers. Thus the current paper predicted that low achievers could be made better achievers by bringing changes in their help-seeking strategies. The role of teachers and parents in improving academic help-seeking behavior has also been discussed. Pages: 227-231

Pages: 224-226 Neda Mehrjouyan (Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Khozestan Branch, Technical and Vocational University (TVU), Khozestan, Iran) Knowledge management is one of the interesting and challenging topics of management science in the new millennium. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of knowledge management on organizational agility of staff of Khuzestan province youth and sport office. The present study is applied-descriptive in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive-survey data collection. The statistical population of this study consisted of all employees of the province's youth and youth sports department (80 people). Due to the limited population, the sample size of the study was calculated as 80 individuals. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and regression test as well as structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data at inferential statistics level. This was done by SPSS software version 21 and LISREL version 8.8 software. The results show that using the regression, the value obtained for F is 12.023 and a significant level of 0.0001 means that the hypothesis will be rejected and indicates that the impact of knowledge management on Organizational agility is meaningful. Using the results of the structural equations of knowledge management variable with a factor of 0.53 has a great effect on the organizational agility variable. Thus, lack of attention to knowledge management leads to a decrease in speed, flexibility as well as competence and accountability of staff. Considering that the path coefficient was 0.53 and also the t-statistic was 0.3, it can be said that knowledge management at 99.99% confidence level has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility. Data processing using structural equation modeling shows that the mediating role of knowledge management on organizational effectiveness is confirmed. This finding means that the emphasis on knowledge management and its compliance by organizations can lead to the influence of each of the variables of organizational intelligence and organizational effectiveness in the successful implementation of another.

The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in nature and method. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in nature and method. The statistical population consisted of all sixth grade elementary students in Kamyaran to determine the sample size, 180 individuals were selected using multistage cluster random sampling. Data collection tools included three Oxford happiness questionnaires, Sohrabi and Samani social adjustment questionnaires and Pintrich self-regulated learning strategies that validated and validated the tool. The collected data were analyzed in two levels (descriptive & inferential statistics). At the descriptive level, mean and standard deviation indices and inferential level, Pearson correlation and regression were used. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between self-regulated learning strategies with happiness and social adjustment, which means that with the increase of self-regulated learning strategies, happiness and social adjustment increase. There is also a direct relationship between the components of self-regulation strategies between the components of cognitive, meta-cognitive, and motivational beliefs with social happiness and adaptation.
