The teaching-learning process had been confined to the classrooms before technology found its place in the field of education. The classrooms were either student-centred or teacher-centred. The scenario changed slowly and classroom instruction became technology-supported. Today's learners, the digital natives, rely more on technology rather than teachers. The drastic change raised a question whether they need teachers or technology for higher levels of learning and the possible results. In order to find out an answer to this question, a study was conducted among the young engineering graduates belonging to a private technical institution in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu. Surprisingly, the results favoured the traditional mode of teaching in spite of the numerous advantages listed out by the respondents.
Diaspora is a crucial part of colonialism since it typically consists of millions of individuals who left their homelands in search of better opportunities overseas, frequently to industrialized nations. Majority of the novels written by diasporic writers explore the themes of upheaval, alienation, loneliness, and self-discovery. Leaving homeland is a distressing phenomenon whether it is voluntary or forcible. Authors of diasporic ancestry effectively express the emotional and physical suffering endured by their protagonists upon relocation to a new locale. Diaspora individuals are emotionally and physically split from their natives and the rest of the world, despite being crowned, projected, known and loved in their new society. Sunetra Gupta, an eminent member of the Indian diaspora, examines the experience of immigrants in the United States by employing her characters. In the select novels of Sunetra Gupta, people find serenity by staying in their own country. They are delighted and content since their prior experiences have left positive and lasting impressions in their minds. This paper attempts to explain and analyze the problems that Moni, Nikarika and Debendranath face in Memories of Rain and A Sin of Colour.
<p>Authors analysed the characteristics of articles published by the Indian based authors in the ‘Information Science & Library Science’ subject category of Web of Science during 1991-2015. In this study, total 708 articles derived from the Web of Science database were analysed. The Indian contributions to the Information Science and Library Science quite meager in compare to world’s contribution. However, the Indian based articles were kept rising from 1991 to 2015. The articles published from1996 to 2005 have greater impact and the trend is towards multiple authors. The Scientometrics was the most productive journal; almost 25 per cent of the Indian articles were published during the period. Gupta, BM was the most productive author and articles published by the Bhattacharya, S, Nagpaul, PS and Rao, IKR had greater impact on the subject as well as fellow researches in the subject category of IS & LS. </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
