<#LINE#>Academic resilience and self-efficacy of Grade 7 students in Social Studies in a science high school in the Philippines<#LINE#>Kevin C. @Barrera <#LINE#>1-12<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IRJSS-2021-030.pdf<#LINE#>Laguna State Polytechnic University, San Pablo City Campus, Laguna, Philippines<#LINE#>5/7/2021<#LINE#>12/11/2021<#LINE#>Academic resilience is the ability of students to achieve good educational outcomes despite adversity. Self-efficacy, on the other hand, pertains to a person’s belief in his/her capacity to succeed in a particular situation. With the ongoing pandemic, students are greatly affected now that they are undergoing a new normal war of education. Thus, this study aimed to determine the relationship between academic resilience and self-efficacy of Grade 7 students in Social Studies at Calamba City Science Integrated School. Specifically, academic resilience is divided into perseverance, reflecting and adaptive help-seeking, and negative affect and emotion response. On the other hand, self-efficacy is divided into perceived control, competence, persistence, and self-regulated learning. Descriptive-correlative design was used with the aid of mean, standard deviation, two-tailed t-test, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results showed that students are academically “Resilient” and “Manifest” self-efficacy. No significant difference is revealed when academic resilience and self-efficacy is categorized as to gender and learning modality. Correlational analysis showed a significant relationship between academic resilience and self-efficacy of students. Multiple regression analyses revealed that all parameters of academic resilience significantly predict the self-efficacy of students in terms of perceived control and self-regulated learning. Competence can be predicted by reflecting and adaptive help-seeking and negative affect and emotion responses, while persistence can be predicted by perseverance alone.<#LINE#>Ledesma, J.

India has been experiencing noticeable disparity in terms of accessing maternal health care services at state level as well as within a state which is very prominent in most of the states of India. The focus of the study is on quantifying the coverage of maternal health care services existing in 33 different districts of Assam, a state in North Eastern Region of the country. A composite index known as MHCI (Maternal Health Care Index) is constructed through some indicators that reflect the maternal health care based on the secondary data for this purpose. The distributional structure of the composite index MHCI has been recognized to facilitate the classification of the districts based on the available maternal health services. Finally, the districts experiencing Very Poor Level of Maternal Health Care Facility are identified and probable factors responsible for such depressing condition are discussed. The findings of the study in the selected districts will be of great help for such deplorable conditions among the pregnant women so as to provide the benefits in a larger extend and with proper monitoring.<#LINE#>World Bank (2019).@Trends in maternal mortality: 2000 to 2017: estimates by WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, World Bank Group and the United Nations Population Division.@Geneva: World Health Organization; 2019.

They are mixed people and earned their livelihood by engaging themselves as daily wagers in different types of jobs.  Due to hike of prices of essential commodities day by day, most of the respondents expressed their feeling of inability to sustain their livelihood. Among the children, the immunization coverage was not satisfactory as a large number of respondents did not complete or continue the immunization schedule as per Government guideline and only a few completed or are continuing it. This may be the lack of awareness of the parents or may be non involvement in the process of nurturing of their children actively. As the respondents have to pass a stressful parenting process due to poverty and deprivation, these things regarding immunization of their children becomes less important. The sufferings of their children from different diseases like Anaemia due to malnutrition and helminthic infections, diarrhea and other stomach problems and different skin diseases for staying in non hygienic conditions are very common. The children of poor families have been given the opportunity to admit in government schools free of cost, but even then the rate of school dropout children seems to be high among these communities due to inadequacy of some other resources. Due to illiteracy, ignorance and clutch of poverty, the respondents were found to show some inclination towards sending their children for different small jobs for earning instead of sending their children to the school. The negligence of parents to girl child was also observed. All the respondents felt uncertainty, discouragement in every step and extreme financial hardship due to ongoing covid-19 pandemic to provide basic cares of their child. Alcoholism and other familial problems are also the reasons to lose the coordination among many families in the community; as a consequence their financial crisis tends to be worst, thereby disrupting the proper parenting process. All respondents were found ignorant about the child right. Awareness is essential among these illiterate people about the rights of child - how to explore these and to take up facilities during their childhood as government has different schemes to facilitate child development.<#LINE#>UNVAC (2006).@World report on Violence against Children.@1-386.@No$Dutta Nilika.

<#LINE#>Social Sciences as a critical pedagogic tool for transacting value based education<#LINE#>Manvi @Arora <#LINE#>27-31<#LINE#>4.ISCA-IRJSS-2021-005.pdf<#LINE#>Association for Transgender Health in India (ATHI), New Delhi, India<#LINE#>12/2/2021<#LINE#>25/11/2021<#LINE#>In contemporary times, socialisation of children is not entirely limited to family and community.  Social institutions such as education system, media, economy and religion share the responsibility of transacting social values to the young ones and ensure that there aren’t many deviations from the acceptable social norms. Schools, in particular share this role immediately with family. Social Sciences, as a discipline, provides a socio-cultural, political, economic and environmental lens to understand various dimensions of society, situated in its past and present. Social Sciences hold the potential to make students critically reflect and assess the relationship between various social structures and engage within the processes of the society they inhabit. This article aims at exploring the usefulness of teaching social sciences as critical pedagogic tool for transaction of desired values in Indian classrooms, more so in the pandemic times. It conceptualises its main argument through thorough analysis of NCERT’s social sciences textbooks for standard six to tenth. The article presents a brief background of social sciences pedagogy and highlight its linkages with value-based education in critical manner. Direct teaching of value-based education is often criticized for preaching prescribed and rigid norms. This article presents social sciences education as a pedagogic tool to recontextualise and redraft the foundations of value education transaction in Indian classrooms. The questions that this study aimed to explore are: Are we really investing in children the required critical and mental capacities that make them evaluate social practices? Should inculcation of values be limited to value-based education classes or can other disciplines like social sciences contribute in making learners alert to the social forces that threaten these values?  Is there a contrast in our aims and our current practices of Social Sciences pedagogy or is it successfully inculcating ‘desired values’?<#LINE#>Chalam K.S.

In the post independent era, the constitution of India provided certain protections and safeguards to this section of the society. Some degree of mobility has been noticed in the last half century. But social and economic conditions of this section of Indian society have not changed significantly. Moreover, all sub castes of the Scheduled Castes have not been equally benefited. Economic disparity has increased substantially within the Scheduled Castes. Under such circumstances, the present study tries to examine exclusion within selected Scheduled Castes in Bihar. It also tries to explore the reasons for the exclusion within excluded.<#LINE#>Sardar, S.
