Initial Skill Development Using a Brain Cycle: A Case Series ofExperienced Riders and Its Implications for Sustainable Development By Badhushan S S and Prof. (Dr.) Sosamma John
Abstract Learning to operate a “brain cycle,” a modified bicycle with inverted steering mechanics,serves as a compelling model for studying cognitive flexibility, motor adaptation, and theprocess of unlearning. The present study aimed to investigate the motor learning skilldevelopment of experienced cyclists adapting to reversed control dynamics. The studyanalyses motor learning patterns, error correction behaviour, and neuro-cognitive adaptation.Data from five experienced adult riders were collected over two weeks of training sessions.Findings revealed an initial performance drop followed by gradual improvement, withadaptation emerging after 3–6 hours of cumulative practice. The process mirrors…
Read MoreBehind the Scoreboard: A Qualitative Investigation into Prospective Teachers’ Beliefs and Attitudes toward Gamification By Dr.A.Balamallika Devi
ABSTRACT This qualitative study, titled “Behind the Scoreboard: A Qualitative Investigation into Prospective Teachers’ Beliefs and Attitudes toward Gamification,” explores the perceptions of 45 second-year B.Ed. students on implementing gamification in their future classrooms. Using an open-ended questionnaire, the study identified five key areas of inquiry: perceived benefits, challenges, integration intentions, impact on teacher-student relationships, and essentials for building teacher confidence. Findings reveal that a majority of prospective teachers view gamification as a powerful tool for increasing student engagement (40%), enhancing skill development (25%), and improving cognitive outcomes (20%). They…
Read MoreEmbedding STS Perspectives in Secondary Biology Education: A Rubric Based Examination of Textbooks By Dr. Anu S and Dr. Minikumari D
Abstract The modern objective of Science Education is to foster Scientific Literacy, a goal critically advanced by the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) approach. This study performs a rigorous content analysis of Chapter titled, “To Life Processes, in the IXth Standard Biology Textbook (SCERT-2004) , to map the extent and depth of its STS integration. Utilizing a validated 0–3 scale rubric, the research assessed the presence, nature, and depth of Science (S), Technology (T), and Society (S) components and its integration. Key findings indicate a strong but inconsistent integration: the…
Read MoreIntegrating AI in Classrooms: A Descriptive Study on its Role in Improving Teaching-Learning Practices By Dr. Sadaf Jafri
Abstract This study explores the integration of GenAI tools in classroom settings and their role in enhancing teaching and learning practices. Drawing on recent empirical research, systematic reviews, and case studies, the paper investigates how AI facilitates improvements in teaching quality, student learning outcomes, motivation, and collaboration. GenAI applications are found to automate routine instructional tasks, enable personalized content delivery, improve assessment accuracy, and foster active student engagement. This study also addresses challenges related to ethical use, teacher readiness, and equity in access. Through a descriptive synthesis of existing literature…
Read MoreA Review of Behavioural Outcomes of Student Engagement and Motivation in Game-Based Learning Anitha R and Dr. Sreekala S
Abstract Game Based Learning is a transformative approach blending pedagogical strategies with the immersive and interactive elements of games. It relies on passive absorption of educational contents through the active engagement of pupils. Game based learning engages students actively with the help of challenges, storytelling, feedback loops and goal-oriented tasks. The content can be delivered with the use of digital platforms or using physical games. Psychological theories such as Self-Determination Theory and Flow Theory offer autonomy, competence and relatedness. The objective of the study is to critically analyze the relevant…

Read MoreTeachers’ Awareness and Understanding on Continuous andComprehensive Evaluation (CCE) for Children with Hearing Impairment in Karnataka’s Inclusive Schools By Shaik Gulab Jan and Dr. Prithi Venkatesh
Abstract Inclusive education highlights the need for equitable evaluation practices that accommodate the diverse learning needs of all students, including children with hearing impairments. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation, as defined by educational policies such as the RTE Act 2009, is crucial for promoting inclusive assessment techniques. However, variations in awareness and comprehension among educators can mask effective implementation, particularly in inclusive settings. This study investigates the levels of awareness and conceptual understanding of CCE among primary and secondary school teachers in Karnataka, particularly in the context of educating children with…
Read MoreInnovative Classroom Design: Towards Flexible and Inclusive Learning Environment By Madhurima Chaudhuri and Prof. (Dr.) Prem Shankar Srivastava
Abstract In contemporary education, the physical and pedagogical design of classrooms plays a critical role in facilitating effective learning. With diverse learner populations and evolving educational standards, traditional classroom arrangements are often inadequate. This paper explores innovative approaches to classroom design that promote flexibility and inclusivity. Drawing on both international best practices and the Indian educational context-including the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act 2016, the study highlights strategies for creating adaptable learning spaces that accommodate varying student needs. Emphasis is placed…
Read MoreChallenges and Opportunities in Designing a Flexible Classroom for Inclusive Learners By Shahul Hameed M and Dr. Prithi Venkatesh Mondreti
Abstract Creating inclusive education requires learning spaces that can adapt to the diverse needs of learners, including children with disabilities, individuals with varied learning styles, and students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Flexible classrooms—designed with adjustable layouts, multipurpose furniture, integrated technology, and guided by Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offer valuable pathways to achieving equity in education. Yet, their development and implementation are often constrained by challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited funding, insufficient teacher preparedness, accessibility issues, and prevailing attitudes. At the same time, flexible classrooms open up significant opportunities…
