Abstract Transition programs are based on the individual student’s needs, taking into account strengths, preferences, and interests. Effective transition programs focus on skills that help the student to attain post high school goals. What is critical in the successful transition of students with disabilities from high school to work environments or postsecondary education is accurate knowledge about their abilities, capabilities, limitations and civil rights. This paper attempts to help educators equip students with the necessary skills to make informed choices on work environments or course options for successful transition.

Abstract This study was to find out the social intelligence of adolescents and the correlation between ecological variables and social intelligence of the respondents. A study was conducted in Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh. Two blocks namely Panchrukhi and Bhawarna were randomly selected. Four schools were selected from each block. Survey was done on 200 adolescents falling in the age group of 13-19 years under each block. Social Intelligence was assessed by Social Intelligence Scale. The results of the study revealed that most of males and females respondents were with optimistic social intelligence dimensions such as patience, co-operativeness and confidence. Contrary to this, high percentage of males and females respondents showed negative response of social intelligence dimensions such as recognition of social environment, tactfulness and sense of humour. But, males and females respondents showed an affirmative relationship with memory. A significant correlation was found between social intelligence dimensions and ecological variables of respondents.

Abstract The present study was undertaken to study the impact of metacognition on academic performance of rural adolescents (13-16 years). The study was carried out in rural schools of block-I, Ludhiana District. The sample comprised of 240 rural adolescents equally distributed over four grades (7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade), two sexes and two socio-economic groups i.e. middle and low socio-economic group. Metacognitive skills of the subjects were assessed using a self-structured Questionnaire adapted from Metacognition Inventory and Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. To assess the academic performance of the subjects, the aggregate percentage of marks obtained by them in the last school examination was procured from the concerned teachers. Results revealed that the major proportion of subjects with high level of metacognition also performed above average in academics. Further, analysis depicted that both the components of metacognition viz. ‘Knowledge of Cognition’ and ‘Regulation of Cognition’ significantly contributed towards the academic performance of the adolescents.

Abstract This paper investigates quality of home environment and psychological abilities of underprivileged children of rural Haryana. To achieve the main objectives of the study, 400 children belonging to lower income group were selected randomly from Hisar and Ambala districts of Haryana state. The home environment was assessed by Mohite’s Home Environment Inventory, and psychological abilities of the children were measured by McCarthy Scales of Children’s Abilities Scale. The results showed that the majority of underprivileged mothers provided poor home environment to their children. Most of the children of Hisar and Ambala districts repoted in the present study had mental age below their chronological age and had poor verbal, perception, quantitative, memory, motor abilities and general cognition. Deprived home environment influenced developmental levels of the children which resulting poor verbal, perception, quantitative, memory, motor and general cognition.

Abstract A scrutiny of occupational profile of population in India where maximum population depends for their livelihood on agriculture only points out that women make up 46 percent of total agriculture work force and there is hardly any activity in agriculture except ploughing and household chores in which women are not actively involved. At the same time this sector is considered as the most hazardous occupation and reason of various health problems like MSPs and MSDs in women workers. Thus a study was conducted on sixty farm women to identify the extent of musculoskeletal problems in them. Incidence of musculoskeletal symptoms, information on causes of pain, work load and severity of pain were assessed by self structured questionnaire and body map technique. The findings of the study indicated that farm women remain fully occupied and over-burdened with three-fold responsibility of farm, home and livestock management before they attain the age sixteen. Awareness about musculoskeletal problems was found to be very low among female workers albeit these women workers they were suffering from discomforts/pain in various parts of the body. Education on health and awareness about developed women friendly technologies for farm, home and livestock would help in minimizing the extent of musculoskeletal problems among agricultural female workers.

Abstract The aim of present study was to find out the effects of blending camel kid hair with chokla wool on performance of yarn and fabric. Camel hair was blended with chokla wool in three ratios viz. 25: 75, 75:25, and 50:50 on khadi hand spinning system. Knitted fabric samples were prepared on circular hand knitting machine. Properties of yarn and knitted fabric were evaluated. It was found that blending of chokla wool with camel hair improves strength of yarn. Performance of CH75:C25 knitted fabric was found better in terms of strength, abrasion resistance, warmth and knitting performance in comparison to other blends.

Abstract The aim of this article is to explore the views of principals on parent participation in governance of rural schools. Apart from a literature review on parent participation in school governance, the article reports on a study in which empirical investigation based on quantitative research paradigm was used to collect data from rural school principals. The literature findings revealed that parent participation in school governance is a critical component of education in South Africa. The study further revealed that empirical findings elicited that rural school principals would like parents to have a significant role to play in school governance. The study is concluded by the submission that it is essential for parents participating in the school governance of rural schools to be given necessary training so that they can have a working knowledge of school governance activities.

Abstract This article is on the effects of mothers’ socio-economic background on the feeding practices of the secondary school students in Edo Central Zone, Edo State, Nigeria. The independent variables were mothers’ socio-economic status. Food practices were the independent variables and these comprised intake of meat/other sources of proteins, fruits/vegetables, milk products, grain products, roots/tubers and fat-sweets and non-alcoholic. The proportionate sampling technique was adopted in selecting the nine secondary schools while a total of five hundred and eighty-nine (589) adolescent secondary school students were randomly selected for the study. Findings showed that majority of the secondary school students was at the risk of poor nutritional habit because the majority of the students did not take the adequate/balanced diet; that appropriate feeding practice for the secondary school students was more popular with older mothers than their younger counterparts; that the food types were associated with the religious denominations and education of mothers; and that mothers’ income status had positive influence on the feeding practices of the children. Consequently, it was recommended, among others that parents, guardians, school authorities, the lay public and the secondary school students should be given sound nutrition education to prevent food prejudices that forbid eating what is available.

Abstract Present study was conducted in Kanpur city on 300 adolescents (137 boys and 163 girls) randomly selected from 6 degree colleges to assess their carrier preferences (science and technology, commerce and management, tourism and hospitality, mass media and journalism, art and designing, medical, agriculture, defense, law and order and education) using standard carrier test. Data revealed that adolescents were in age group between 16-19 years and in the sample 45.33 % were male and remaining 54.33 % were female. Higher number of respondents belonged to business (23.66%) and service class (24.00%) families, while lowest number of adolescents belonged to families working in factories (16.33%). Data on carrier preferences revealed that education and science and technology were the most preferred carrier of adolescents and agriculture as least preferred carrier. Girls preferred medical, mass media and journalism and art and designing than boys while later had more preference to science and technology and commerce and management than former. Over time, preferences of adolescents changed more for art and design, science and technology and medical in 1month to 6 month. It is evident from the results that science and technology and education are the most preferred carriers, while agriculture and defense are the least preferred carriers among adolescents. Preference of adolescents for carrier also changes with time.

Abstract The present research is an attempt to study the perception and beliefs regarding female foeticide among Muslim community of Jammu. Samples of 100 parents (50 mothers and 50 fathers) were selected from four selected Muslim dominated areas of Jammu district. The tool consisted of a self-devised interview schedule to determine the perception and beliefs of parents regarding female foeticide/declining sex ratio. Results of the study revealed that majority of the parents were aware of the sex determination methods and considered it a right and safe method for having a son. The reason behind this belief was stated to be economic liability, lack of safety and fear of family honor and it was also revealed that major cause of female foeticide in this community was son preference. The paper also suggests few recommendations based on data to eliminate this evil practice.
