A sample of 85 students both boys and girls were collected from two government schools of Karnal. Emotional intelligence scale (EIS), Bell Adjustment inventory by H.M was used to collect the data.

The present study was conducted to find the relationship of Metacognition and Self efficacy among prospective teachers studying in urban area and rural area on a sample of 200 B.Ed students. The results indicate that students of urban area showed greater mean score in KOC (knowledge of cognitive process), ROC (Regulation of Cognitive process) and total Metacognition, than students of rural area. No significant difference was found in self efficacy of B.Ed students studying urban and rural area institutions. Significant relationship was observed between Self efficacy and metacognition of B.Ed students studying in institutions located in urban area and no significant relationship was found between Self efficacy and metacognition of B.Ed students stud...

It is defined as "a cognitive, judgmental process which depends upon a comparison of one's circumstances with what is thought to be an appropriate standard". In adults, research has demonstrated that positive and negative major life events (e.g, getting married or becoming unemployed) have an effect on life satisfaction In addition to major life events, daily events such as daily hassles, or chrome everyday stressors, contribute to how an individual rates his or her satisfaction with life. Stress is defined as a person's psychological or physiological response to environmental factors, in which stress is seen as both the stimulus (stressor) and the response (strain). Based on this perspective, stress often happens when the demands of a particular experience is about to exceed the resources available, thus, leading to a change in the person's psychological and physiol...

Keeping in mind the large number of children whose needs must be addressed and the limited resources available, the best option is to promote inclusive education. The present study is focused on the education in Chandigarh at the elementary stage.

The use of illicit substances frequently starts among school children during adolescence. Concern with the use of harmful habit forming substances in students appears to be a very natural reaction; as they constitute a vital part of the society. Their age and often sudden wide exposure to new environments may render them extremely vulnerable for substance abuse. To find out the association of socio-demographic factors with substance abuse and pattern of drug abuse among adolescents, a descriptive study was conducted among de-addiction centres of ferozepur, zira and faridkot. Snowball and convenient sampling was used. Overall 110 adolescents were included in the study. Statistical analysis was done by entering the data in SPSS software. Minimum age is 12 year/ maximum age is 24year, minimum duration of having drugs is 1 year/ maximum is 9 year, 36% of the senior secondary adolescents having drugs, 27% of the secondary level of education, most used drug is heroine is 78.2%, the minimum amount of money is 3000 on the other hand maximum is 90000, 75.45% of the adolescents having drugs for their enjoyment, pattern used for drug abuse is injecting 56.36% used by adolescents, were found to be major risk factors for substance abuse behaviour among students.

Effective teachers are not only better communicators of knowledge and skills but are also a source of inspiration, transformers of personalities and models of value preferences. The sample of the present study comprised of 252 prospective and in-service teachers from Chandigarh. Teacher Effectiveness Scale by Pramod Kumar & D.N. Mutha (1973) and a self designed Value Preference Form of personal, social and teaching related values was used for the study. The analysis and interpretation of the data was done by applying Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by ranks, a non parametric test to find out the differences in value preferences of teachers by assigning ranks. The major findings of the study were: 1) Effective teachers and Non Effective teachers differed on Personal Value preferences as the Effective teachers preferred Honesty as the top value whereas non effective teachers preferred Sincerity, both groups uniformly preferred Aesthetic sense as the bottom value. 2) Effective teachers and Non Effective teachers differed on Social Value preferences as even though both groups preferred same values for top 2 ranks yet differed radically on 3 rd preference as Effective teachers preferred Regards for dignity of individual and non effective teachers preferred Equality of status and opportunity which was assigned bottom rank by effective teachers. Non effective teachers showed bottom preference for Openness to reason. 3) Effective teachers and Non Effective teachers showed no difference in their Teaching related values preferences as they uniformly assigned top rank to Loyalty in duty and bottom rank to team spirit.

Adolescents, due to developmental crisis, are prone to face a myriad of psychosocial challenges. They need somebody to help in the solution of problems and thus avoid tensions and conflicts. They must know their capabilities and potentialities, especially in areas that are crucial for the realisation of objectives in life. In these circumstances, it is essential to help and guide the youth to worthwhile channels through the introduction of guidance services on a universal scale in our educational institutions. The present study is an attempt to assess the guidance needs of secondary school students of Chandigarh, UT. A sample of 100 students consisting of 50 boys and 50 girls were randomly selected from 5 schools of Chandigarh. Guidance Needs Inventory (GNI) prepared and standardized by Dr. J.S. Grewal, was used to identify the type and strength of guidance needs of secondary schools boys and girls in five areas – Physical, Social, Psychological, Educational and Vocational. Statistical techniques Mean, S.D and t-test were used. Results and its educational implications have been discussed.

Students who succeed academically often rely on being able to think effectively and independently in order to take charge of their learning. These students have mastered fundamental but crucial skills such as keeping their workspace organized, completing tasks on schedule, making a plan for learning, monitoring their learning path, and recognizing when it might be useful to change course. Learning cognitive and metacognitive strategies offers students the tools to "drive their brains." Being metacognitive can be likened to being more conscious, reflective, and aware of one's progress along the learning path. The present study was undertaken to find out the relationship between metacognitive awareness and academic achievement of undergraduate students. The sample of the study comprised of 100 undergraduate students from various colleges of Chandigarh. Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) by Schraw & Dennison (1994) was used to measure the metacognitive awareness. The findings revealed a significant difference in academic achievement of undergraduate students with high and low scores in metacognitive awareness.
