Abstract: Civics is one of the branches of Social Science. Learning Social science has a major role in the formulation of civic sense. For the growth, development and sustainable existence of a society Civic Consciousness is essential. But it is difficult to develop civic consciousness in all individuals. The easiest way to accomplish this great mission is by ourselves becoming civic conscious. The aim of the present study is to find out the relationship between Civic Sense and Performance of 10th Standard Students in Social Science. The data were gathered through 'Civic Sense Situational Test' from 42 Secondary School Students. Descriptive survey method was used for this study. The findings of the study were: (1) The average Civic Sense students have better Performance in Social Science subject. (2) Those who have high Civic Sense have no good Performance in the Social Science. The finding stress that school should provide community oriented programmes and usage of better methods in teaching learning process to develop the civic sense and improve the performance in social science as well.

Authors	:	Natalia M. Mezhennaya
	:	10.9790/7388-0805041624

Abstract: The paper presents an approach to teaching the mathematical formalism to engineering majors by using interactive computer algebra system. The theory of random processes is a core element of mathematics training in an engineering university. The course is designed for students with a previous background in the probability theory and mathematical statistics, and with basic competence in some computer mathematical package. In our case it was Wolfram Mathematica. We provide examples to explain and illustrate our concept and discuss advantages of the method for students and teacher. These materials can also be used in a lecture course not supported by interactive computer systems or by students with insufficient mathematical programming skills. The examples we..........

Authors	:	Sherly Deborah. G || TheingiMaung Maung || Harini Narayanam || Usha Kumari
	:	10.9790/7388-0805044046

Abstract: Students have different learning styles which can affect the way they learn. In the present scenario, it is vital even for the students to know their own learning style so that they can cope up easily with the learning processes in a comfort zone. Educators have a greater encumbrance to understand the heterogeneity of their students and potentially improve in a variety of ways to accommodate all learners' preferences. The aim of our study was to analyze preferred learning styles among undergraduate students of various disciplines of education. This cross sectional study was conducted in selected Indian universities. Final year students of various disciplines of education who were willing to participate in the study were selected. The demographic details were collected after obtaining their..........

Title	:	Research on Problem Scenarios and Creation in the Mathematics Classroom of Primary Schools
Country	:	China
Authors	:	Ling Ling Lu
	:	10.9790/7388-0805044750

Abstract: Scenario creation" is a commonly used strategy in the mathematics classroom teaching of primary schools. It is conducive to solving the contradiction between the high abstraction of mathematics and the concrete image of primary school students' thinking. "Mathematics Curriculum Standards" regards the creation of "problem situations" as an important part of teaching. However, there are different drawbacks in the creation of scenarios in our actual teaching process. Therefore, based on the concept of "problem scenario" in mathematics teaching, the significance of teaching, and the principle of creating problem scenarios, this paper proposes five methods for creating problem scenarios that can be effectively applied in practical mathematics teaching.

Title	:	Challenges Facing Implementation Of Integrated Oral Literature Syllabus In Secondary Schools In Nakuru Town East Subcounty
Country	:	Kenya
Authors	:	Cecilia Chepkemboi
	:	10.9790/7388-0805045162

Abstract: Oral literature has been taught as an integrated subject in secondary schools for some time in Kenya. Since then, various researchers have carried out studies on the implementation of the integrated oral literature syllabus. Their general conclusion is that there are challenges faced in the implementation of oral literature syllabus. Very little attention has been paid to factors inhibiting implementation of oral literature syllabus among students and teachers of English language in secondary schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges facing the implementation of integrated oral literature syllabus in secondary schools in Nakuru Town East Sub County. The objectives of the study were to establish the influence of learners' attitude and instructional strategies...........

Title	:	Problem Solving: A Contextualized Approach to Teaching Mathematics
Country	:	Brazil
Authors	:	Gleison Guardia
	:	10.9790/7388-0805046368

Abstract: The process of creating the Problem Solving Methodology has been shown to be long and full of deviations. For some time, there has been talk about its applicability, however, in those cases where it was performed, the results regarding mathematical learning were not satisfactory. In its complexity, when analyzing the main reasons that cancel the use of this methodology, it opens a gap in its study, because, as a consequence of its implementation, a considerable level of failure is observed in the cases applied. The present study proposes a discussion of the Problem-Solving Methodology about its historical context, its teacher training, its application in the school context, attitudes that do not generate results, highlighting those that exceed positive expectations, thus allowing a systematic analysis of the problem by understanding what is shaping the school curriculum in the process of teaching math learning......

Abstract: Mind , the inner most box of nature has not been investigated by modern physicists . Mind has not been incorporated in Standard model. Mind can only be studied by participatory science. Having searched Basic building blocks of the universe i.e. mass part of reality (figure 1) , we have also investigated mind part of reality and finally two fundamental particles with mind and mass realities are hypothesized . Now we discuss how to further investigate mind so as to know their structures and functions. Atomic genetics is the branch of science where we investigate about fundamental interactions of the universe i.e. atomic transcription and translations . New words have been coined to understand hidden science of mind part of reality. Mind reality have been recognized as different faces by "I" about 5000 years back to Arjuna in Mahabharata. It is just like to understand any language through Alphabets........
