Mathematics is one of the core subjects in school education. The need to make mathematics teaching interesting and effective is, therefore, felt all around. Concept Attainment Model is considered to be effective in teaching mathematical concepts. So a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of CAM in maths teaching has been undertaken. As the utilisation of innovative teaching approaches help the students a lot, it is always better to apply the techniques like CAM wherever and whenever there is a possibility. The teachers and researchers will get a great advantage with this book.

PREFACE It gives me immense pleasure to share a few sentences as preface of the ‘Survey of Research Abstract of Faculty of Education (K)’, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. As we are aware that educational research aimed at developing curriculum, syllabus, textbooks, instructional materials, assessment modules, pedagogical innovations and qualitative practices and reforms. Information and communication technology, e-resources, e-contents, on-line mode of curricular transactions are becoming more prominent and effective in certain domains worldwide. Researches at doctoral and post-doctoral level are to be addressed the issues related to community, it needs and aspirations, curriculum (advances to be incorporate) and teaching-learning processes in order to make education updated, fulfilling the developmental needs, updated education refines the sensitivities of the learners to be constructive and productive in their approaches to bring desired development for themselves and for the society at large. Fast changing scenario on expected to lines and also on unexpected lines, both demand multifaceted preparedness to meet the challenges of life, likely to emerge. The present covid-19 situation has forced people globally to be locked down to fight against fatal corona virus. Under the situation researches and education processes one unique features such as: online mode of teaching- learning, development of e-content & e-resources, digital pedagogy, curricular flexibility, alternate system of evaluation and examinations, teachers knowledge base and preparedness and students achievement etc. all these have put forwards new areas of study. The comprehensive volume II of the Research Abstract includes eighty Ph.D. thesis and two hundred P.G. dissertations, covered various areas, including educational psychology, philosophy, sociology, technology, curricular studies, examination, evaluation, discipline-based pedagogies etc. Volume provides a rich knowledge base to readers to find knowledge gap in a particular areas for further research design in a way researcher finds a direction to proceed with a new problem with a sound research plan. I on behalf of the Faculty of Education and on my own behalf convey my sincere congratulations to the entire team of the publication and to Prof. S. K. Singh, the chief editor of the volume. I am sure readers will be immensely benefited from this great volume. Date: 26th May, 2020 (R. P. Shukla)

Today the environment degradation is a matter of agent concern before human society. Both developing as well as developed countries are facing severe environmental problems. In the developmental process man has been ruthlessly extracting natural resources and polluting natural environment. Various environmental problems pose a threat to environmental sustainability, among which the increasing level of wastes and air pollution, destruction of ozone hole, acid rain global warming etc. are same of the common issues. The earth is fast losing its treasure (Baliga, 1996).

Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we're teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.

Education is a positive construct which empowers people to make use of its potentialities in the best ways to achieve excellence. Research in this endeavour tries to resolve various problems related to education, educational process and educational advancements. Thereby, keeping education updated and advanced in turn preparing updated positive and constructive citizens of the society. Today an educated person is expected to be equipped with the most advanced knowledge, skills, humane values and digitalisation, including evaluation of existing policies and bringing out components & variables to be covered by forthcoming policies. Thus, research is positively correlated with the human and material development, ensuring humane and developed society. The strength of an institution is reflected by the researches undertaken by the members over there. It gives me immense pleasure to note that survey of research abstracts in Faculty of Education, Banaras Hindu University has been completed and ready for its publication in hard and soft mode. The present volume includes 256 abstracts since 1952, including most recent D.Litt. abstract in education. This survey no doubt presents a trend of researches understudy. These abstracts will certainly pave educational paths to solving recent educational issues. A commendable contribution has been done by the team of publication. This will have a long-term impact on future researchers. Moreover, preservation of research knowledge, covering 33 identified educational areas and its dissemination were much needed and expected for the cause of quality research. I am sure, the volume will serve its qualitative purpose to researchers, teachers, administrators and policy-makers in India and abroad. We are grateful to Prof.D.P.Singh, Chairman, University Grants Commission, New Delhi (India) for writing foreword for this volume and motivating us. I convey my heartfelt gratitude to all the members of publication team for their concerted efforts in bringing out this precious volume. Date: 13th April, 2020 (Prof. R.P.

The seventh edition of Models of Teaching is written to be the core of the theory/practice aspect of the K-12 teacher education program. It covers the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. Because it deals with the major psychological and philosophical approaches to teaching and schooling, Models of Teaching provides a direct link between educational foundations and student teaching. Therefore, the book can provide substantial support to programs taking a "reflective teaching" or constructivist approach.

"Cognitive Psychology and Instruction" by Roger H. Bruning and Gregory J. Schraw explores the psychology of learning and teaching, integrating cognitive theories with practical instructional strategies for educators.
