Abstract: Both within and outside of the classroom, the world has changed due to recent technological advancements, making it far more fascinating and engaging for students to study about. The expectations on education have changed as a result of advancements in the use and dissemination of knowledge and information technologies. Recent years have seen a significant increase in interest in educational research due to the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) into both real and virtual classrooms, as well as teaching and learning. Thus, the researcher’s goal in this paper is to ascertain the attitude of B.Ed. college teachers toward ICT and determine if there are any notable differences in attitude toward ICT amongst the teacher subgroups that were chosen (gender, computer knowledge). The researcher employed 100 student teachers from Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur who were employed by B.Ed. colleges for this purpose. The Simple Random Sampling Technique was used to choose the sample. Samuel Gnanamuthu and Krishnakumar R. created and validated the Teachers’ Attitude towards ICT Scale. The 20 items on the teachers’ attitude toward ICT scale include five response options: strongly disagree, agree, disagree, disagree, and strongly agree. The study’s conclusions show that B.Ed. college instructors have a positive attitude toward ICT. The attitudes of B.Ed college instructors who are computer literate and those who are not vary greatly about ICT.

Higher Education: Opportunities and Difficulties for Inclusive Education

Author: Dr. Vidyasagar Halder

DOI Link :: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/12.2023-62689944/BIJMRD/2023/V1/I1/A5

Abstract: In an inclusive education system, kids with a range of impairments and special needs attend classes with students who are usually developing and without disabilities.  Instead of being in separate classes or schools, students who need extra supports and services in an inclusive environment spend most of their time with their classmates who are not impaired.  The definition of inclusive education is briefly discussed at the outset of this article, which is followed by an analysis of inclusion’s historical origins in larger civil rights campaigns in democratic democracies.  The difficulties of running an inclusive classroom are then covered, along with a number of suggestions for how teachers might help students overcome these obstacles by creating a “culture of inclusion.”

Key words: Inclusive education, Disability, Non-Disability, School, Democratic.

Contribution of Physical education practice reflecting on student achievement

Author: Soumen Ghorai

DOI Link :: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/12.2023-81282512/BIJMRD/2023/V1/I1/A6

Abstract- Despite the fact that the theory/practice dichotomy in physical education (PE) practice seems to be challenging to manage, this study suggests that instructors may support students in developing holistic competencies, which include aspects of both theoretical and practical knowledge. Therefore, we work to reevaluate how theory and practice relate to physical education practice and suggest ways that PE instructors might link different types of knowledge with their students. In doing so, we look at reflection, which has traditionally been one of the most widely used techniques for bridging theory and practice.

Abstract:-Environmental awareness prevailed everywhere in human society. Perhaps the most significant of the decisions human society make’s is its relationship to the natural world. Central to the internal conflicts of human society in the past has been the persistent attempts to resolve Questions about the natural world’s natural, utilitarian nature. As human civilization has expanded and technology has improved throughout the world, the Question of legitimate use of the natural world has gained importance. With the progress of times, the need to resolve this unresolved Question is becoming increasingly available. This is Perhaps best explained by the Language of power. Human Society’s conflict with the natural world can also be experienced in terms of this power. Environment is the most significant Medium of expression of power. Race, class, gender, Nationalism and these competing issues of power in the society must be equated with nature. Different layers of power relations, constant abuse of the natural world, the emergence of new technologies to exploit nature, and the increasing degradation of natural resources have complicated this age- old debate in ways never seen before. This has become a central and universal Question for the entire human society. With the progress and prosperity of human civilization, the issue of solving this problem is also getting longer. Writers, philosophers, historians, lawyers, administrators, and Thinkers are busy trying to solve this unresolved Question. Over the last two decades this important Question has taken on a new form and a new school of thought has emerged in the world of knowledge which can be called “Environment History. This article shows how the British Government in India in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century legitimized their claim on forests and outlawed hunting, food and logging in forests. And poachers, hunters and fisherman emerged as the main criminal groups and thus create a “New Class of wild Crimes”.

Educational Contribution of Vedanta Philosophy in Present Scenario

Author: Gobinda Kumar Das

DOI Link :: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/12.2023-67687165/BIJMRD/2023/V1/I1/A9

Abstract: Vedanta (/vedanta/; Sanskrit:, IAST: Vedanta), also known as Uttara Mms, is a Hindu philosophical tradition and one of six orthodox (stika) schools of Hindu philosophy. With an emphasis on knowledge and freedom, the word “Vedanta” (meaning “end of the Vedas”) refers to the ideas that developed from or were connected to the reflections and enumerations included in the Upanishads. Based on the authority of a shared set of texts known as the Prasthnatray, or “the three sources”—the Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita—Vedanta gave rise to a number of sub-traditions. Comprehensive dissertations on ontology, soteriology, and epistemology are found in all Vedanta traditions, despite significant disagreement among the schools.  [1] Because of the pronounced disparities in thinking and reasoning, they may appear utterly dissimilar when viewed separately.[2] “Bhedabheda (difference and non-difference), Advaita (non-dualism), Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism), Tattvavada (Dvaita) (dualism), Suddhadvaita (pure non-dualism), and Achintya-Bheda-Abheda (inconceivable difference and non-difference) are the primary Vedic systems”.[3] Neo-Vedanta[4][5][6] and Swaminarayan Sampradaya philosophy are examples of modern advancements in Vedanta.[7]

Author: Chaitali Bag

DOI Link :: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/12.2023-88675758/BIJMRD/2023/V1/I1/A10

Abstract: Judith Arundell Wright was a poet and short story writer. She had thought and worked for the most tortured souls. One is for Australian Aboriginal people and other is their mother Nature. She was keen defender of the Aboriginal land rights movement. She has also campaigned for the Conservation of Great Barrier Reef and Fraser Island. As an environmentalist she portrayed nature profoundly in her poetry. One can discover natural landscape of Australia vividly  in her poetry. After colonization the Aborigines lost their land as well as their culture.  After arriving at the island the British settlers announced the land as terra nullis, i.e. no one’s land where the Aborigines have a large number of groups and different languages. They denied the individual identity and considered them as a single culture. The Aboriginal people  lost their sacred ground, Bora where initiation ceremonies took place. Their festival, corroboree is also no more celebrated. Under the rule of the Whites they forgot the stories of Dreamtime. The song lines is also lost which carries the stories of Dreamtime. Their ecocentric life was also destroyed. In “Bora Ring” Wright has bemoaned for them. She recorded that how ‘alien tale’ engulfed the ‘tribal story.’ She also honoured their culture through this  poem. The Aboriginal people are inseparable from Nature. Their pulse is nature. Urbanisation occupied the island. They are adopting the culture of the rulers. Colonization has changed their life and also of nature. The present paper entitled as “ Judith Wright’s Bora Ring: Postcolonial and  Ecocritical Study” is going to connect the aftermath of Post colonialism and its impact on nature and human beings.
