Education And Development

The teacher-learner interaction, which is of relevance to the contemporary learning paradigm, is grounded on goodwill, mutual respect as well as trust and enables a learner to become autonomous, proactive and responsible. The essence of the teacher’s activity can be determined in the following way: it is most important to focus on maturity of learners’ personality, development of their intellectual powers, their own active and conscious learning providing all the support necessary for learners to enable them to develop competences that are relevant in life. Next to such competences to be developed as learning to learn, communication and creativity, a particular role is played by personal competence, which targets at education and development of an individual, who is dignified, self-respected and able to adequately self-evaluate. There is a transition from the teacher’s role as the head of the process of education to those as a learning organiser, opportunity creator and advisor, when the development of learner’s autonomy, independence and responsibility become underlying values of education. Following educational researchers, there exists a close link between the learner’s self-esteem and autonomy and the freedom of choice provided by teachers. The teacher’s respect for learners, his/her attention, encouragement and positive expectations contribute to the strengthening of learner’s self-confidence and self-esteem.

Experiential Pedagogy

Today, all stakeholders are concerned about the value of management education to its students and thus its ultimate value addition to the industry. Faculty, employers and students differ in their perceptions of the value addition of management education. The present study attempts to understand the value addition of management education from the perspective of students. The three most important value additions of management education to students were self-confidence, communication and management skills. Further, the study examines the enablers of learning in management education. Experiential pedagogy, faculty and personality development activities emerged as the most important enablers. The study also investigates the barriers of learning. The three key barriers were information overload, ineffective assessment and irrelevant courses. The findings are discussed in the light of curriculum redesign of management education programmes. We recommend the need for management education to be more student centric and employability oriented, using experiential and project-based pedagogy. Finally, the article highlights the limitations of the present work and provides the directions for the future research.

Medical Leadership

Background: Medical leadership, an essential skill for the emerging medical graduates has been rarely studied in India.Methods: A formative research was undertaken among 30 interns selected by purposive sampling method. Triangulation of free listing, pile sorting was done to elicit their perception on leadership attributes. This was followed by a semi-structured focus group discussion to elicit the characteristics and solutions to obtain adequate leadership skills. The data was analysed using Visual Anthropac 4.98.1/X software.Results: Interns perceived communication skills, impartiality, patience, honesty, self-discipline, receptive to others opinions, knowledge of medicine, self-confidence, and guiding teams as major characteristics of effective medical leadership. The respondents admitted they were deficient in the understanding of leadership traits as it was not required of them as medical undergraduates. Internship period provided multiple platforms to develop leadership skills such as demonstrating personal qualities, working with others, goal setting and delivering services individually thereby overcoming a training gap during undergraduate period. Interns suggested that structured training on leadership skills and personality development coupled with exposure to challenging clinical environments during the undergraduate period will help them emerge as confident leaders.Conclusions: Medical education reforms should support the inclusion of leadership training in the MBBS curriculum.

Balanced Diet

Physical exercise is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. In order to live a healthy lifestyle one must emphasize on not just eating a balanced diet, but also on physical exercise. Physical exercise of any sort, from cardiovascular exerciseto running, jogging, swimming, lifting weights or even dancing may help improve the quality of one's life. Not only it has physical and mental health benefits, research shows that physical exercise might actually be able to reverse the process of aging itself. Physical activity is referred to such an activity which involves movement of muscles. It uses body's own energy to burn calories that produce heat and sweat. Physical exercise in turn increases blood flow of the body. It also produces potent vasodilators, including nitric oxide that further expands blood vessels. Oxygen rich blood is then carried easily to various parts of the body where it was hard to reach before. Cardiovascular exercise is now clinically proven to make the heart strong and for its longevity doctors prescribe a minimum of forty minute session per day. Physical exercise decreases the risk of heart attack, lowers blood pressure and eliminates bad cholesterol from the body. Due to the physical stress and movement, muscles and bones of the body are strengthened. Repeated wear and tear of muscles and bones hence provide an opportunity for them to grow. With proper nutrition and care physical exercise also helps in bodybuilding, along with the loss of excessive fat from the body. Physical exercise has also shown increase in glucose uptake by muscles, thus improving insulin sensitivity and greatly reducing the risk of diabetes. One of the most benecial side effects of physical exercise is weight loss, whereas inactivity or lack of exercise leads towards weight gain and obesity. Being overweight and obese is detrimental towards one's life and forms the basis of various underlying medical conditions. Not only does it make one look good, physical exercise makes one feel good too. It is clinically proven that daily exercise, produces dopamine and endorphins that elevates ones mood. The feel good factor that follows a good exercise session is contributed by changes in levels of hormones produced in the body. The changes in levels of serotonin, melatonin and cortisol all play an important role in wellbeing of one's mental state. One feels relaxed and it remarkably improves the quality of sleep as well. Physical exercise helps one gain focus and block negative thoughts and worries. It helps in fighting against anxiety and chronic depression. It also helps in personality development by boosting one's own self confidence and self-esteem. In order to achieve a healthy lifestyle one must incorporate physical exercise on a daily basis. Moreover one cannot ignore the healthy benefits that accompany physical exercise. In conclusion an hour of physical exercise daily can add years to one's life.

Desirable Behavior

Pedagogic literature points out that rewarding is desirable in the process of education and is a constituent part of teacher's work in school. However it is of importance to determine the type of behavior that deserves praise and reward as well as 'the situations' where praise and reward may have adverse effects. Praise and reward practiced in school are quite specific compared to those applied in a family, because rewards for a desirable behavior, as well as praises, are formally and officially prescribed. The meaning of rewarding is often restrictive and simplified thus being a kind of teacher's mechanical response to student's behavior. Consequently rewarding, especially when praise is in question, is deprived of encouraging features that, if they imply support and encouragement, contribute to child's developing self-confidence and positive self-image. That is why we have presented herein the types of rewards and their effects by using a -survey of studies carried out in our country and abroad, and all this to highlight some aspects of rewarding procedures, whereby we can check how important they are for the outcomes of education and student's personality development. A material reward is considered to have a more expressive control role, whilst verbal encouragement and praise mean information about achievement. Furthermore, considerations are given to some factors essential to a more efficient application of praise and reward in concrete educational situations as well as to their motivational advantages for teacher's educational practice. Lastly, possibilities of more successful application of praise and reward in school are suggested.

Communicative Activity

The article presents the results of an empirical study of relation between the communicative activity and self-evaluation of teenagers (n = 85), whose personality development takes place in the information society and allows us to characterize modern adolescents as generation Z («digital» generation). Communicative activity is considered as the willingness and ability of a person to interpersonal interaction, the outgoing desire to implement the functions of the subject of communication. The authors have analyzed theoretical information about the self-evaluation and communicative activity of adolescents. The communicative activity of adolescents of generation Z is characterized by a wide range: from self-centeredness and minimal involvement in communication, to the desire to maximize the range of social contacts as in real communication, so in communication mediated by technical means. The identified gaps in the scientific knowledge about communicative activity, in terms of its connection with the self-esteem of modern teeagers, became the prerequisite for this study. The principle of consistency and theoretical provisions on self-esteem by L. V. Borozdina, ideas about the activity of personality by A. I. Krupnov, A. A. Volochkov and S. A. Vasyura formed the theoretical and methodological basis of the work. The relations of communicative activity and self-evaluation of adolescents are established. The basic components of the system of these relations are ease of contact and self-evaluation of appearance. The ease of coming into contact is associated with self-evaluation on the scales of “authority among peers”, “appearance (beauty)”, “self-confidence”, as well as the level of claims on the scales “mind” and “self-confidence”. The self-evaluation of appearance (beauty) is associated with the need for communication, initiative in communication, ease of contact, expressiveness in communication. The obtained results contribute to the development of scientific ideas about communicative activity, its potential for the development of the personality of adolescents of generation Z.
