The world today needs global citizens. Classrooms are places where such citizens could be shaped and teachers would need to shoulder this responsibility. It needs to be seen what is the level of global mindedness among teachers. The study aimed at finding out the extent of global mindedness among Arts and Science teachers. The descriptive survey method conducted, revealed that the Arts teachers showed a higher level of global mindedness than the Science teachers. However both the groups showed very low extent of Global centrism, thus indicating that the teachers would need to consider the global good over only local or national good. Hence there needs to be conscious efforts to understand and develop global conciousness among the teachers so that they in turn imbibe this attitude among the learners.

Nature poets, Robert Frost and Elizabeth Bishop, are concerned with the natural world and the human world. Anthropocentric and Ecocentric outlooks are explored here in terms of their dominant behaviour towards environment. This paper analyzes that: To what extent do these poets go beyond the anthropocentric world to reach the ecocentric world? And do both the poets create a sympathetic attitude towards the natural world of flora and fauna? Or do they have different outlooks of perceiving nature? The dealing of these poets with environmental degradation can reveal the inherent politics of anthropocentric ideology. Moreover, their poems are concerned with the relationship of the humans to the land and other creatures of the earth and also reveal the interaction and contact between the man-made/materialistic/human and natural/non-human world. So, the focus is on how both the poets depict, present and use the natural scenario and natural world in their poems in order to depict the relationship between the human and non-human world.

The present study was undertaken for comparative study of achievement in mathematics of urban and rural secondary students in relation to their aptitude for mathematics and emotional intelligence. The sample consists of 225 students comprised of 120 rural secondary students and 105 urban secondary students studying in government and private schools of Hoshiarpur district were selected as a purposive and random sample. Data was collected by Mathematics Achievement and Aptitude Test for mathematics was developed by the investigators and Emotional Intelligence Scale by Hyde, Pethe and Dhar (2001) were used. The data obtained were analysed statistically and the study revealed that mathematical aptitude was a significant predictor of achievement in mathematics, so schools and colleges should conduct mathematical aptitude test to ensure that students having aptitude for mathematics are properly guided and motivated. The results of the study also indicated that emotional intelligence was significantly correlated with achievement in mathematics.

Reflective teaching and action research are the very important component of qualitative teaching-learning process. The main purpose of action research is to explore the new knowledge and strategy to sort out the immediate as well as local educational problems and to ensure the quality of education, and on the other hand reflective teaching is considered as the core ability to be a successful as well as innovative teacher. Action research is considered as an important tool of reflective teaching too. Reflective teaching and conduction of action research to solve the immediate problems are associated with each other in their aim and creative as well as scientific way of work. An individual can only make focus on the process of research if he/she motivated enough to do so and have positive attitude towards it. This study was conducted to know the relationship between reflective teaching and attitude towards action research of secondary teachers. To know the effect of their service condition and types of associated school of secondary teachers were other objectives of the study. The findings of the study showed a positive relationship between reflective teaching and attitude towards action research of secondary teachers. A significant effect on the level of reflective teaching and attitude towards action research was revealed from the study.

The present study identified psychological well-being profiles in a sample of student-teachers from aided and unaided college of education. 100 student-teachers completed Carol Ryff's (1995) Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scale. The present research is of a descriptive survey type. Profile analysis was applied to six indices from PWB scale: self-acceptance, purpose in life, environmental mastery, positive relations with others, personal growth and autonomy. The results show that a profile analysis shows a flat level of profile of the Psychological Well-being of student-teachers of both the groups. The study reveals that there is no difference in the mean scores of psychological well-being of student teachers of both the groups of college of education. On the basis of the items in the Psychological Well-being scale, it may be concluded that the dimensions of psychological well-being of student-teachers is substantial in magnitude.
