The study employed a survey-based quantitative method. The sample includes 500 higher secondary level school students in West Bengal, India. The investigators applied two self-made questionnaires, one for measuring intrapersonal intelligence and another for measuring decision-making ability. The results reveal that gender (3.22, p<0.01) and stream (4.05, p<0.001) have significant influences on the intrapersonal intelligence of the higher secondary school students. Decision-making Ability has a statistically significant and positive association with intrapersonal intelligence (0.42, p<0.001). Results show that all the four dimensions of intrapersonal intelligence, i.e., self-awareness (2.871, p<0.01), self-retrospection (2.540, p<0.01), self-regard (5.265, p<0.001), and self-adaptation (4.983, p<0.001) significantly increase the decision- making ability of the higher secondary school students.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":52024,"journal":{"name":"MIER-Journal of Educational Studies Trends and Practices","volume":"21 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78010010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigators collected teachers’ opinions towards using a bio-enabled attendance system for improving their punctuality with the help of a self-prepared questionnaire. The findings reveal that there is a significant difference in the teachers’ opinions towards the use of a bio-enabled attendance system with regards to their residential background and medium of teaching. There is no significant difference in the opinion of the teachers towards the use of a bio-enabled attendance system concerning their gender, computer training and teaching subjects.

It involves understanding of how particular subject matter topics and issues are organized and represented in order to teach in an effective way. It also involves understanding the needs and struggles of the students. Shulman (1987) identified PCK as one of seven categories of teachers’ knowledge which is essential for providing meaningful learning experiences to all students including children with disabilities. This calls for special educators in inclusive settings to possess the knowledge and skills to implement PCK in teaching all students. There is no global PCK model; researchers have explained it differently in terms of components in the field. This paper attempts to explain the concept of PCK, its importance for special educators teaching in co-teaching and two models of PCK namely Shulman’s Model and Ball’s Model.","PeriodicalId":52024,"journal":{"name":"MIER-Journal of Educational Studies Trends and Practices","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83394148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
