 Abstract

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of ICT in education increased rapidly as schools adopted digital tools to ensure continuous learning. Online classes, learning management systems, educational apps, and digital content became essential parts of teaching. Teachers now use ICT for interactive lessons, virtual assessments, and communication with students and parents. Even after schools reopened, blended learning, smart classrooms, and online resources continue to enhance learning, making education more flexible, accessible, and technology-driven.

 Abstract

Prosthetic devices have been developed to restore function and mobility to individuals with amputations. However, available prosthetic wrist units often lack the range of motion and dexterity of the natural wrist, limiting the user's ability to perform tasks that require precise wrist movement. Therefore, the development of a body powered prosthetic wrist unit can provide the same dexterity of the anatomical wrist joint and locking mechanism in various ranges for performing various activities of daily living.

 Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by high school students in selecting and applying correct formulas while solving numerical problems in physics. Many students struggle to connect theoretical concepts with mathematical expressions, resulting in frequent errors, low confidence, and poor academic performance. The research adopted a quantitative experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test method with seven students from Kamadhenu Convent, Mysore, who showed difficulty in solving physics numerical problems. Four activity-based strategies- Chart-based learning, Problem Identification Games, Flashcards, and Match-the-following exercises were implemented to improve conceptual understanding and formula application skills. The pre-test average score of 11.14 increased to 18.14 in the post-test, indicating a 35-50% improvement. The results confirmed that interactive and visual learning approaches significantly enhanced students' understanding, recall, and confidence in problem-solving. Major causes identified included lack of mathematical skills, insufficient practice, and ineffective teaching methods. The study recommends using activity-based, student-centered approaches to strengthen conceptual clarity and promote analytical thinking. Overall, the intervention demonstrated that engaging and well-structured activities can effectively improve students' problem-solving performance in physics and foster a positive attitude toward the subject.

 Abstract

This action research investigates the challenges faced by 7th standard students in understanding fractions and evaluates the effectiveness of activity-based instructional strategies in improving their conceptual learning. The study was motivated by common difficulties such as misconceptions about fraction size, confusion between numerator and denominator, weak visualization skills, and limited real-life connections. A purposive sample of five students from Rotary West School, Mysore, who scored below 10 in the pre-test, was selected. Using a one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design, the researcher implemented four interventions: chart-based explanation, real-life demonstrations, ICT-supported instruction, and hands-on activities involving fraction strips, paper folding, number lines, and digital tools. Analysis of post-test results revealed significant improvement in student performance, indicating that visual, concrete, and technology-integrated strategies effectively enhanced students' conceptual understanding of fractions. The study concludes that meaningful, activity-oriented teaching approaches help reduce misconceptions and strengthen foundational mathematical skills.

 Abstract

Balancing chemical equations is a fundamental skill in chemistry, essential for understanding the law of conservation of mass. However, 9th standard students often face difficulties due to weak conceptual understanding, limited mathematical skills, reliance on rote learning, and inadequate exposure to interactive teaching methods. This study investigates the specific problems students encounter while balancing chemical equations and explores effective pedagogical strategies to enhance conceptual understanding and problem-solving abilities. Using a quantitative research method with an experimental design, a sample of six 9th standard students from Kamadhenu Convent, Mysore, participated in an action research intervention. Five interactive activities, including storytelling, equation puzzle cards, hands-on atom models, "What's Missing?" games, and error detective exercises, were implemented. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess learning outcomes. Findings indicate significant improvement in students' ability to recognize and balance chemical equations, develop logical reasoning, and engage actively in learning. The study concludes that activity-based, visual, and stepwise teaching strategies effectively reduce misconceptions, increase confidence, and foster mastery in balancing chemical equations. Recommendations include regular practice, peer learning, and reinforcement of the law of conservation of mass to support conceptual clarity and sustained learning in chemistry.

 Abstract

This study examines the difficulties ninth-grade students face in remembering mathematical theorem statements and evaluates the effectiveness of activity-based strategies in improving recall. The research followed an experimental design with four students from Sri Gokula School, Mysuru. A researcher-developed pre-test and post-test containing objective and short-answer items measured recall levels. Pre-test results showed low retention due to weak conceptual understanding, reliance on rote memorization, limited interaction, and difficulty with mathematical language. An action plan using five activities-Theorem Memory Card, Theorem Quiz Bowl, Jigsaw Group Activity, Chalk Talk Theorem Walk, and Theorem Bingo was implemented. Post-test scores revealed clear improvement, demonstrating that visual, collaborative, and recall-oriented methods enhance understanding and long-term retention of theorem statements.

 Abstract

Particularly in countries like India where the juvenile justice system strikes a balance between accountability and rehabilitation, legal education has a revolutionary impact on legislation, policy, and advocacy for young offenders. This study looks at how legal education affects the creation of juvenile justice policy and advocacy through curricula, therapeutic programs, empirical research, moot courts, community initiatives, and multidisciplinary collaborations. Additionally, it examines obstacles, changes, international practices, and potential avenues for enhancing the relationship between education, policy, and advocacy. Using a multifaceted research approach, the study shows that legal education is a dynamic process that generates knowledgeable advocates, politicians, researchers, and judicial minds that contribute to a juvenile justice system that is more evidence-based and compassionate.

 Abstract

Fruits and vegetables are very important and have dietary and nutritional qualities. It has been known that fruits and vegetables plays a vital role in human nutrition by supplying the necessary growth factors such as vitamins and essential minerals in human daily diet and that can help to keep a good and normal health. In India the loss of fruits and vegetables due to storage fungi is very high. In the present study, main emphasis has been laid on the isolation and identification of fungi directly responsible for storage rots in markets. Towards a better understanding of the ecological relationships of the pathogenic mycoflora causing market diseases, it was thought necessary to study the general surface mycoflora of fruits and vegetables. Contamination of fruits and vegetables takes place at all stages of processing if proper sanitary and hygiene conditions are not maintained (Beuchat, 1995). The present investigations were carried to study the isolation, identification and characterization of fungi associated with the fruits and vegetables of Davanagere market. Literature survey reveals that the merge report in diversity of fungi present in fruits and vegetables of Davanagere market.
