Abstract

Positive thinking, in conjunction with a robust attitude, can affect one's well-being and coping strategies under stressful events. This study sought to identify the role of Emotional Quotient (EQ) to Work Attitude Behaviour (WAB) of selected faculty members from three higher educational institutions in the Philippines. Using a non-experimental research design, participants were asked to complete questionnaires to obtain their EQ and WAB scores. EQ was gauged using the Emotional Quotient Test while WAB was measured using a self-made survey questionnaire. A chi-square test revealed that there was no significant relationship between EQ and WAB, F (1,24) = 2.469, p>0.05. Although no significant relationship has been observed, it is argued that findings from this study will highlight the need for teacher-training programmes to raise awareness of the emotional demands of teaching and consider ways to enhance emotion regulation skills in experienced as well as recently qualified teaching staff.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to predict psychological resilience by psychological well-being and its components. The research sample consisted of 216 girl students who were selected through multistage random sampling. The data were collected by implementing psychological resilience and psychological well- being questionnaire and analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. A significant correlation coefficient was found between psychological resilience and overall psychological well – being (0.62, p<0.01). Resilience was also found to be positively and significantly related to all six dimensions of psychological well- being. The calculated determination coefficient (0.39) indicated that psychological well- being has the ability to predict psychological resilience. Results confirmed the impact of dimensions of psychological well- being on resilience among college students. It is likely that resilience and the psychological well- being reinforce one another in a cyclic manner. Individuals' psychological well- being maintained higher levels of resilient.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the prewriting and handwriting curriculum Handwriting Without Tears® (HWT) in a preschool setting with a single student who has developmental delays and a suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. Data were collected during the regular preschool day. The behavior measured was the student's ability to independently and accurately write his name given by the visual prompt “Name: ______” and verbal instructional cue “write your name”. A modified imitate, trace, copy, and memory procedure was used with the student with the instructional support and curriculum from the Handwriting Without Tears® Get Set for School (Olsen, 2003) curriculum. In addition to this curriculum, first author created materials were also used. The overall outcomes indicated that the Handwriting Without Tears® programs was successful in teaching that student who has severe developmental delays, tactile defensiveness, and sensory processing deficits to write his name.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to explore how parents are encouraging towards health care of their wards. A ‘Survey Method’ was used in the present study. A standardized ‘Agarwal Parental Encouragement Scale (APES)’ was used to collect information from the students. The sample consists of thousand and ninety five higher secondary students from Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari districts. Percentage analysis and 't' test were used for data analysis. Findings of the study indicate that, the male and female higher secondary students, significantly differed from their parental encouragement on health care. Similarly, the higher secondary students studying in Tamil and English medium, significantly differed from their parental encouragement on health care.

Abstract

The study aims to examine the relationship between parameters affecting the quality of Education in affiliated Under Graduate Engineering institution from the faculty members' and students' perspective. It is a descriptive research. The data has been collected with the help of ‘Questionnaire Based Survey’. The sample size for the study is 110 comprising of the faculty respondents and 500 comprising of student respondents. The sample has been taken on the random (Probability) basis and the questionnaire was filled by the faculty members (teaching B.Tech) and students (pursuing B.Tech) chosen on the random basis from an affiliated undergraduate engineering institution in NCR, Haryana. For data analysis and conclusion of the results of the survey, statistical tool like correlation was performed in MS Excel. It can be inferred that for the faculty members' perspective “selection process” is negligibly impactive factor on “academic excellence”, “infrastructure”, “personality development & industry exposure” and “management & administration”. For the students' perspective “selection process” is negligibly impactive factor on “academic excellence”, “infrastructure”, “personality development & industry exposure”, “placements” and “management & administration”. And “academic excellence” is poorly impactive factor on “infrastructure”.
