Suman Rani 2017-12-01 2017-12-01 7 Effect of Co-Operative Learning Approach in Social Studies on Achievement Motivation https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/SRJHD/article/view/173656 Co-operative learning is a pedagogical practice that promotes socialization and learning across different curriculum areas and classroom settings. However, while the benefits of implementing co-operative learning are widely acknowledged, many schools and teachers still experience difficulties in knowing how to embed this practice into their teaching curriculum. Placing students in groups and expecting them to co-operate will not necessarily promote co-operative learning. It is only when members understand that they are dependent on each other and cannot succeed unless others do that they learn to co-ordinate their efforts and actively work together. Group cohesion develops as a direct consequence of members’ perceptions of their interdependence and their willingness to facilitate and encourage each other’s learning and enhancing the achievement motivation. In the present study, pre-test and post-test experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of cooperative learning approach in social studies on the achievement motivation of secondary school students. A sample of 60 students randomly selected from one of the government schools of Chandigarh was assigned into control and experimental groups by equating them on the basis of their pre-test scores. After the intervention, the subjects of control group revealed no significant improvement in the percent scores of Achievement Motivation, the t-value being 0.52 which is not significant at 0.05 level, (P&gt;0.05). However, the subjects of experimental group revealed a highly significant improvement in mean percent scores of Achievement Motivation, as evident from the t-value of 3.21 which is significant at 0.01 level (P&lt;0.01). Findings of this study lead one to conclude that while linking group members together so that they experience task and goal inter-dependence which is a key element of successful co-operative learning, ensuring that they are trained in the interpersonal and small group skills needed to promote positive interactions and hence achieve motivation. Sapna Nanda 2017-12-01 2017-12-01 7 Role of Teachers for Empowering Learners Through Value Education https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/SRJHD/article/view/173657 This paper addresses the issue of teachers’ training for value education and its response to the demand for value education in the school/college. Defining value education as education itself, the authors advocates the need for the preparation of a teacher as an agent for social change, to equip him or her to deliver the quality of values as per the situation and explore the process by which children develop values essential for living in the society. Teachers need to be trained to create situations and be imaginative to reflect on that situation by making learners aware of values and highlighting its need. <br />Education, since ancient times has been viewed as the transmission of value and accumulated knowledge of society. To prepare future citizens of multi-dimensional capabilities and to provide wisdom with knowledge, the importance of ethics and value is re-established. Thus, the role of education in life has become more crucial when in the present scenario the problems of society to deterioration of values and morals. It is the need of education that the teachers and teacher education programmes take up the task of inculcation of values and shaping the behaviour of students. Prospective teacher should not only be intellectually competent and technically skilled but also be civilized in their emotions and refined in their testes. Thus, in the present grave moral crisis, there is need of a value imparting education which not only gives a shape to prospective teachers’ personality but also inculcation and instilling of values in them.

Rajinder Kumar Gupta 2017-12-01 2017-12-01 7 19<sup>th</sup> Century Kashmir Valley Under Lahore Darbar a Thorough Analysis https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/SRJHD/article/view/173663 The history of Kashmir is greatly influenced by its geography. The valley appears a little world of its own which in the past assured her a distinct geographical, historical and cultural existence. The Afghan rule, prior to Lahore Darbar’s conquest and administration, proved to be the cruelest for Kashmiris. They, despite religious affinity, felt constrained to throw off the Pathan yoke. Fortunately the then policy of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s territorial expansion proved a surprise boon on Valley’s conquest and annexation by Lahore Darbar in 1819. Ranjit Singh Administered Kashmir through Nazims (Governors) and Revenue Farmers. A significant development in respect of agriculture and industry took place. Though, still in the middle ages, seeds of tourism in the Valley started appearing. Reforms on socio-economic and religious fronts were visible. Government grants were extended to Hindu and Muslim shrines unbiasedly. Lahore Darbar provided huge financial help and allied facilities to the valley during natural calamities after 1828 and especially the horrible famine of 1833 which shattered Kashmir economy. The Kashmiris greatly welcomed the rule of Ranjit Singh as it freed them from the chain of slavery in addition to putting a complete halt to ‘wealth Drain’. Lahore Darbar brought, on the whole, mental and financial relief to the natives. Indeed, under the secular and benevolent despotic Lahore Darbar rule, their prospectus appeared quite positive, satisfying and encouraging.
