The program launch in the university can be a major attraction to the students and their parents. The students are the real consumer of Education at any level in colleges and universities. A university maintains its standard by providing a need base program for the students. They amend curriculum time and often to address the competitive market in the global community. The quality of the educational system depends on the experience and skills of teachers. The main rationale for M.Ed. program Evaluation is to provide a comprehensive overview of M.Ed. English language program on TU. This volume mainly focuses on the program of Tribhuvan University, Faculty of English Education. It has concerned with the structure of the program and courses. This program Evaluation tries to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a program, and use these to set out directions and strategies for development.

KEYWORDS: M.Ed. program, view, strengthen, rethink, effectiveness Introduction Education is the key aspect of development and it provides opportunities to the society and community. It shades the light in the darkness and uplifts the status of the country. So education can be the backbone for the development of the nation. The status and attitude of the people lie on the virtue of education. It creates a job opportunity at the local level and gives an introduction to the external world. University has the sole responsibility to prepare and produce qualified and skilled manpower needed for the transformation of the nation. So the main duty of a university is to prepare qualified manpower for the nation and they can compete in the international market. A university launch various kinds of program to prepare and produce skilled and qualified manpower required in different sectors. The fate of the country depends on the program launch in the university to the students. Universities and academic institutions should have competent and qualified teaching staff and properly designed course. Academic institutions can hire strong faculty members to transform skills and knowledge to the new generations. The faculty of education has been producing and providing qualified and trained teaching faculties, teacher educators, education planners, research fellows, curriculum designers, and administrators in the country for more than ten decades through the master program in education. Master of Education is a two-year program provided in central and affiliated campuses under faculty of education across Nepal. Though the program is effective and beneficial to the students and arranged based on the demand of the current needs, it has not been able to provide quality education throughout Nepal. There can be several reasons like lack of qualified manpower and faculty members. Moreover, the university has planned to run its academic activities on a

It is possible only through technology that distances are no more barriers and education can bring to the student's doorstep. Technology has constantly improved every now and again, and there will be more people relying on technology. It will replace many things, and individuals' life will be easier. However, many persons are identifying the benefits of technology only and never examine their effects. Excessive usages of technology will transform people's ordinary life. Many negative effects of technology will affect humans' daily life like language skills, social life, and health. Although the application of ICT has assisted us in many fields, however, many people who do not perceive the fact that technology has negatively affected society.

The Nepalese tourism sector largely remains labour intensive due to insufficient investment in quality infrastructure and technology. Even in this background, the tourism sector contributes a significant share of GDP and employment in Nepal. Knowing the employment elasticities to various tourism indicators helps to understand the tourism sector and make sound policy inferences. For this purpose, the paper combined the annual data from the WorldTravel and Tourism Council (WTTC) on direct and indirect contribution to employment and GDP with the total tourist arrival and the average length of stay data from Nepal Tourism Statistics to estimate a simple double log-linear equation-based individual elasticity coefficients. The findings of this paper suggest that besides government personal travel and tourism spending, other all elasticities are positive. Among them, ...

Research paper thumbnail of Role of financial development in the export performance of a landlocked developing country: The case of Nepal

The results show that financial development does not have a strong long-run positive relationship with the export performance of Nepal. Financial institutions and financial markets also indicate a negative association with exports. Therefore, it can be suggested based on the results that there is a need for developing strategies for the proper financial development improving the financial institution quality, and widening the financial market targeting to facilitate more meaningfully to the exporters and manufacturers to boost export performance.

Research paper thumbnail of The Role of Cooperatives, Remittances, and Infrastructure in Export Performance of Nepal: ARDL Approach of Cointegration

Due to the well perceived role of cooperatives, Nepal’s constitution 2015 mentions this sector as one of the three pillars of the national economy while around 30 percent of Nepal’s GDP comes from remittances. As the country lacks the domestic sources for investment, FDI has become an indispensable part of the development sources of the developing countries in the recent decades. This paper analyzes the role of cooperatives, remittances, FDI and infrastructure in export performance of Nepal using the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) approach of cointegration as suggested by the properties of the time series data for the period of 26 years from 1993 to 2018. The major finding shows that the cooperatives have not contr...

The results show that electricity does have a strong long-run positive relationship with the export performance of Nepal. Therefore, it can be suggested, based on the results, that increasing electricity consumption might increase the exports values. Also, there is a need for building infrastructure to support production activities, not just the means of transportation to reach our villages. Only those infrastructures focused on production activities will contribute to increasing the exports attracting more foreign direct investment in the country.

The study focuses on both the indirect finance and the direct finance, separately as well as collectively. We apply most appropriate econometric methodology of Weinhold (1999) and Nair-Reichert and Weinhold (2001) for causality analysis in heterogeneous panel data. Two sets of results are reported. First, the relationship between financial development and economic growth from contemporaneous non-dynamic fixed effects panel estimation can at best be interpreted as mixed. Negative and statistically significant estimates of coefficient of the inflation and financial development interaction variable indicate that financial sector development is actually harmful for economic growth when inflation is rising. Second, in contrast with the recent evidence of Beck and Levine (2003), use of more appropriate econometric methodology of dynamic heterogeneous panel for causality analysis and a refined model reveal that there is no definite indication that finance spurs economic growth or growth spurs finance. Our findings are in line with the Lucas (1988) view on finance that the importance of financial matters is very badly over-stressed in popular and even much professional discussion.

This action allows the teacher to be innovative and transformative. The article is based on the thematic analysis of the literature available on reflective teaching and teacher education. Reflecting on teaching is taken as a personal tool for professional development and personal growth. To be a critical teacher, reflective teaching can be a milestone for the novice teacher. One can observe and look back to his or her teaching practice regularly and then constantly rectify his or her weakness to be a better teacher in the future. The paper begins with the introduction of reflective teaching. The subsequent section describes the importance of reflective teaching in teacher education, challenges of teacher education, and ways of promoting reflective teaching in teacher education, and favored position of reflective teaching in teacher education.
