Value Education in Indian Schools

Article by Osa

“No man who worships education has ever got the best out of education…. Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete”. Value education is a process by which teachers impart values to pupils. Value education can take place at home, as well as in schools, colleges, universities, and voluntary youth organizations. There are two main approaches to value education. Some see it as inculcating or conveying a set of values which often come from societal or religious rules. Others observe it as a type of Socratic dialogue where people are gradually brought to their own realization of what is the best behavior for themselves and their community. In Urban communities children are often given value-based education. It acts as a centre of excellence to train the faculty and conduct innovative programs which is implemented by the rural and slum schools. Value education is a universal phenomenon innate to all learning and education whether it is home or at school. Education is an effort to learn the basic facts about the world. The central idea behind value education is to develop essential values in the students and it teaches to manage complexities that can be continued and further developed. It begins at home and it is continued in schools. Value education is important to help everyone in improving the value system.

Once, we become aware of our values in life, we can scrutinize and manage the various choices we make in our lives. It is our responsibility to sustain a variety of values in life like cultural values, universal values, personal values and social values.Thus, value education is a vital ingredient required to develop a strong moral basis to a student’s life and to give them an opportunity of doing well on the world. The need for value education among the parents, children, teachers etc, is constantly increasing as we can see that violence, behavioral disorder and lack of unity in society is increasing day by day.

The Indian family has a long tradition of imparting value education right from the ancient practice of the gurukul system. Due to the modern developments and fast changing role of the parents, it has been very difficult for the parents to inculcate significant values in their child. Hence almost all the institutes offer various value education programs that meet the demand of modern society. These activities are mainly concerned about the development of the children, young adults etc. focusing on areas like happiness, humility, cooperation, honesty, simplicity, love, unity, peace etc. Moral values give rise to the development of any society or nation.

It specifies us to what extent a society or nation has developed itself. Values are virtues, ideals and qualities on which actions and beliefs are based. Values are guiding principles that shape our world outlook, attitudes and conduct. Innate values are our inborn divine qualities like love, peace, happiness, mercy and compassion as well as the positive moral qualities such as respect, humility, tolerance, responsibility, cooperation, honesty and simplicity. So, the school which gives education should also give equal importance to values, ethics and personality development as a means of preserving the standards of education.

Question by Curious George: What is Elementary Statistics with Probability and how do I prepare for the class?
I have to take Statistics this summer. I have no clue what I am in for. It is a junior college level course. (Math 135) Is it hard? Can you give me a sample of a typical problem and how you would solve it? Or just some sort of clue as to what it is all about.

I want to know what online or other resources I could use to review and prepare for statistics in the meanwhile?

Best answer:

Answer by Scott W
Ok,
Statistics is the branch of Math which is used to analyze data. For example, when they report that in a Survey, 53% of the Democrats surveyed prefered one candidate while 47% prefered another, that is very simple statistics. They just added up the number of responses and expressed it as a percentage. When they say that the error is +/- 4% then they have gone the next step and calculated the normal error distribution, also a part of statistics. It’s just simple math, you just need to learn the formulas.

Probability is simple. What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads? 50% since there are only 2 outcomes, heads or tails. A non-intuitive problem in Probability is called the Birthday Problem. Given a room full of 30 people, what is the probability that 2 of them have the same birthday (Month and day only, ignore year). The solution to this problem is that it is equal to 1 minus the probability that no two have the same birthday. So, the number of days that the first person’s birthday could be on and not be the same as anyone else’s is 365; for the second person 364; for the third 363, etc all the way out to 336. So the equation becomes 1-(365/365)*(364/365)*(363/365)*… *(336/365). If you work it out it’s surprising how large the probability actually is. Again, simple math, but you need to understand and learn the concepts.

Here are a few web sites.

Question by tiffany: STATISTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Weather: A weather forecaster states, “The chance of rain is 50% on saturday and 50% again on sunday. So there’s a 100% chance of rain sometime over the weekend.” If whether or not it rains on Saturday is independent of whether or not it rains on sunday, find the actual probability of rain at least once during the weekend as follows:
(a) Answer using methods from Chapter 5, such as by listing equally likely sample points or using the formula for the probability of a union of two events.
(b) Answer using the binomial distribution.

Best answer:

Answer by M3
qa
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A & B)

P(rain a tleast once during weekend)
= 0.5 + 0.5 – 0.5*0.5
= 0.75
———-

qb
n = 2, p = 0.5, q = 0.5
P(rain at least once during weekend)
= 1 – P(don’t rain during weekend)
= 1 – 2C2 * 0.5^0 *0.5^2
= 1 – 0.25
= 0.75
——–
