The present research was conducted to understand the Adversity Quotient (AQ) of students who are going to enter into higher education. Higher secondary is the stage from where they move from school to higher education. So, the present research was conducted to study the AQ of 11th standard, English medium school students in Gandhinagar city, Gujarat with reference to various variables. The study was conducted on a sample of 461 boys and girls of 11th standard school students from Gujarat State Board of Education (GSEB) and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools. A self-constructed AQ scale was used to collect data from the students. The collected data was analyzed using statistical techniques like mean, SD and C.R values. Result revealed that there was no significant difference in the mean scores of AQ on the basis of gender, stream of education i.e. Commerce, Science and Arts, and various family variables like nature of the family, size of the family, qualification of parents, parents‟ working status and parents‟ occupation. However, a significant difference was found in the mean scores of AQ of students on the basis of board of School i.e. GSEB and CBSE. The present study concludes that AQ is not influenced by gender, stream of education and family factors, rather it was seen to be influenced by the type of schools. Investigator inquired and understood the AQ profile of higher secondary school students as it is the gate way to higher Education. By understanding the AQ levels of students, the faculty and staffs can be better equipped to support students as they navigate the stressors of college life.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has infused in every walk of life effecting the technology fields, such as launching satellites, managing businesses across the globe, and also enabling social networking. The technological tools provide students in discovering, classifying, and enhancing the knowledge towards mathematical concepts and relationships. The purpose of this study is to enhance students' learning in mathematics through teaching multimedia instructional strategy. The study was performed over the 60 IX standard students selected randomly. 30 students constituted the experiment group and 30 students constituted the control group. Multimedia instructional strategy were applied to experiment group and traditional method of instruction were implemented on the control group. Before the treatment both group were diagnosed and pretested and taught through multimedia for experimental group and traditional method for control group. After the intervention both groups were assessed by post-test. After 20 days both groups were tested by retention and then analysed by t-test. The results show that, experimental group students have more retention in learning mathematics. So this is an evidence that technological devices must enhance the students learning mathematics.
