Learning is an active process that involves both students and teachers. Learning for a long time was associated with acquisition and retention of information. But nowadays learning encompasses a wide range of things like development of skills, attitudes, ideals, moral values and positive discipline. Learning also means providing students with an environment where they can develop their mental capability that could further lead to growth of their insight. Learning thereby is an inclusive idea that facilitates the development of a child to be independent, competent, ethical and disciplined in life. Now, the process of learning to be effective depends on the role of teachers as well as the environment in which teaching is conducted. Teaching therefore requires inclusion of many factors starting with guidance of parents, environment at home, role of teachers, administration of schools, classroom environment and peer group pressure. So in this study the purpose is to analyse all the components associated with teaching and learning process and arriving at a conclusion that teachers play a prime role in mental development that leads to growth of insight within a child. This study also focuses on analysing the teaching-learning process of school children.

The present study was conducted to find the psychological distress and socio cultural adaptation difficulties of the International students studying in United Kingdom. It further explores the moderating effect of social support on the socio cultural adaptation difficulties .When a person from one culture moves to different culture it requires lots of psychological adjustment to adapt and accept the new culture. And when it comes to students it becomes even difficult as they have to adapt in the new culture and manage academic challenges simultaneously. Ward and Kennedy has been a pioneer in this field as they have done studies on the socio cultural adaptation of overseas students and about their cultural transitions. At the same time if they get good social support in the host country it helps the students to cope well with stress situations and to adapt easily with new culture (Mallinclodt & Leong,1992).The study was a questionnaire based correlation study where the Demographic Questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire GHQ-12, Socio Cultural Adaptation Scale SCAS-29 and the Short Form Social Support (SSQ-6) were used. It was hypothesized that those with psychological difficulties will have more problems in socio cultural adaptation and the inability to adapt well in the new culture will result in psychological distress. In addition, it was also hypothesized that social support would moderate the effect of psychological distress on socio cultural adaptation. The correlation and multiple regressions were used for analyzing data and findings suggested that strong correlation between socio cultural adaptation and psychological distress as significant values were obtained and further regression analysis also supports that General health Questionnaire GHQ-12 is a strong predictor of Socio Cultural Adaptation (SCAS).

Children's drawings are indicators of emotions, self-esteem, social competence, as well as other aspects of personality and are a way for children to call attention to topics that are personally important or emotionally significant. Strong emotions emerge in the form of images instead of words. Drawing allows students to experience rather than verbalize feelings. This study aims at understanding the child's emotions and personality using drawing as a tool and to develop a protocol for teachers. From August to October 2015, we conducted image analysis of 35 drawings of kids between three to six years of age from private schools in Chennai. Fifty kids (conveniently sampled) were asked to draw anything that they feel like and interviewed about their drawing (the reason behind the particular character/theme, the color, etc). Phenomenological analysis of the drawings were done under the following headings: theme, contents, zones used, connections between various elements of the picture, orientation to each other, spacing, margin, size, pressure, clarity and colors used. Field notes and reflective notes based on observation of each kid were developed and analyzed separately using N Vivo 7. This paper describes the study protocol and the preliminary findings of the pilot study.

The purpose of this study was to explain the relationship of person-organization fit with job satisfaction of Nurses and to know the mediating role of need satisfaction in this relationship. The sample consisted of 400 Nurses as participants selected from different government and private hospitals. Person-organization fit of nurses was measured with the most commonly used items of P-O Fit scale (Cable & Judge, 1996). Job satisfaction was measured through Job descriptive index developed by Smith Kendall and Hulin (1969). Need satisfaction was measured by Need satisfaction at work Scale (Deci & Ryan, 2001). Results indicated that p-o fit of nurses was positively correlated with and significantly predicted the job satisfaction. It was also found that need satisfaction partially mediate this relationship between p-o fit and job satisfaction.

In India your self-worth is measured through your academic excellence , if your not good in studies than people perceive you in a negative way and also because we are developing country so for us our human capital is very important. In spite of all program such as guidance and counseling strategies still poor performances by students were although recorded every year. So being a student of Psychology, researcher want to investigate what are the reasons behind the poor academic performance of students. There were various reasons because of which students get poor performance in academics such as, birth order, family size and number of siblings can affect the student's academic success and performance level. So as student of psychology this is my prime concern to measure “the association between Number of Siblings and Academic Achievement”. For this from Lovely Professional University, Phagwara the researcher selected 150 students through random sampling method. Data obtained regarding number of siblings and academic performance of students (CGPA) in+2 was analyzed by using Anova. Results depicts that there is no significant association between number of siblings and academic achievement. So from the present finding of the research it can be suggested that, in future we can include variables like the role of sibling's relationship, parental education, home environment, socioeconomic status on academic achievement.

Survey method was conducted among 100 employees in private organisations. The measuring instruments included Physical symptom inventory Scale, Quantitative Workload Inventory and Gallup Q12 questionnaire. Statistically significant relationship was found between employee engagement and somatic complaints among females. The t-test score showed males to be more engaged than females and females reported more somatic complaints then males. The implication of the research is that interventions that focus on enhancing employees' physical and psychological health will contribute to the engagement of employees.
