    Fostering Epistemic Curiosity in School Children by Instructional Teaching Design: Classroom Realities of Indian Schools
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2021-09-29) Chandra B. P. Singh
    The study attempted to answer two basic questions of classroom teaching: a. what were the most common teaching practices at the elementary school level? And b. did teachers foster curiosity in children during teaching? Classroom proceedings enfolded various teaching activities that might lead to a knowledge gap in students. 137 primary and middle schools (altogether 411 classes) were randomly selected to measure a pattern of questioning and answering during classroom teaching. Findings revealed that a large number of teachers adopted lecturing followed by writing on the board, dictating, and ignored some important teaching techniques such as explaining, demonstrating, and experimentation; though they were familiar with all these. Hardly any student asked questions to the teachers. Teachers missed to generate a gap of knowledge in them, showing hardly any use of curiosity-led instructional teaching design. Throwing any question to class or a group of students was an unplanned teaching behaviour. It was a limitation of an in-built education system that prioritised rote learning, exam scores, and grades that measured more static knowledge rather than understanding knowledge. The findings discussed limitations of the in-built education system and mindset of teachers that discouraged epistemic curiosity in children.

    Online teaching-learning at university level education from psychological perspective and consequences: A post-COVID scenario
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2021-09-29) Jainish Patel; Prittesh Patel
    Present study focused on exploring the impact and consequences of online teaching and learning at the university level from the psychological standpoint using an interpretive questionnaire and a barrage of qualitative literature. Of the 143 student enrolled from India, 72.7% preferred the offline/physical classroom learning mode against only 27.3% that preferred the online. 43.8% students think that online teaching is not as effective as the offline that has been in use since over the years. Obtaining the impact of online teaching, only 25.6% agreed that online teaching had made positive impact on their mind, while 33.6% stated no impact. These results suggest that student believe their diligence to education yields more outcomes with traditional learning environments than with online education.
