Influence of psychological variables on divergent thinking in adolescents: A cross-sectional study

Divergent thinking (DT) is a thought process wherein many original ideas are conceptualized and unique suggestions are proffered to identify the best possible solution to a problem; it is an important component of creativity. The present study endeavors to examine the level of DT in school students and the primary factors influencing DT with the help of assessment tests such as Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS test), and Sharma’s Divergent Production Abilities Test (DPA). A cross-sectional study is done using quantitative methodology and probability sampling techniques. The participants of the study are [n = 192 (boys = 106, girls = 86)] school students in the age range of 11–14 years, and the study area is Tiruppur district in Tamil Nadu. Results indicate that DT and EI are negatively correlated with each other, and there is no relationship between DT and intelligence quotient (IQ). Gender differences in DT are identified, with males scoring higher than females on assessment tests. There is no significant difference between the influences of demographic factors like geographical area, economic status, age, birth order, and hand preference on DT. The study’s major conclusion about education is that students at CBSE schools do better than those at private and government-run schools. The performance of government school students is rather poor when compared to CBSE and private schools. This indicates that government school students require proper training, timely assistance, and innovative teaching methods, which lead to the enhancement of DT and creativity.

REDESIGNING LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR ADVANCING THE LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND SUBJECT-SPECIFIC LEARNING AT THE SCHOOL STAGE: PREPARING LEARNERS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Learners’ active involvement in the learning process led to learning experiences. Meaningful learning experiences contribute to the learners’ holistic development, i.e., improvement in skills, experiences, knowledge, etc. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis placed on the need of equipping learners with essential life skills because life skills prepare learners for their daily life. Life skills are introduced as a separate subject at CBSE schools, but integrating life skills with other school subjects is essential to prepare students for the 21st century. Conventional learning methods are widely used for the development of life skills among learners and advancement of subject-specific learning, but these methods are less potential and practical. Thus, there is a need for innovative, realistic, experiential and learner-oriented learning methods like situation-based method, activity-based method, children-led learning method, problem-based method, projects-based method, field-based method, case-based method, inquiry-based method and locality-oriented method can be used for constructing subjects cum life skills-based learning experiences. This paper provides an exemplary classroom-based activity based on problem-based method on science for the life skills development and improvement of science learning of the sixth-class learners. Proper assessment is very much needed to trace the life skills development and learning of different subjects of the learners. This paper provides a framework of life skills-guided holistic assessment. Besides these, the present paper gives prominence to learning experience, life skills development and subject-specific learning: an overview of key elements relating to school stage; need for redesigning learning experiences for the development of life skills and enhancing learning in different subjects; innovative learning methods for constructing holistic learning experiences; life skills-guided holistic assessment; and implicative measures for consideration. This paper has wide implications for constructing life skills cum subject based rich learning experiences; and assessing student’s life skills and learning regarding different subjects.

Evaluation of Comparative Efficacy of Jyotishmati (Celastrus paniculatus Wild) and Yastimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn) in Enhancing IQ and Memory of Different Prakriti School Going Children-A Study Protocol of Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Education plays a major role in life, whereas lack of intelligence, learning, and memory will lead to failure in school performance and school dropout. Medhya drugs are used frequently to enhance the memory and IQ in children. Jyotishmati and Yashtimadhu are medhya (IQ-enhancing & memory-booster) drugs, described in numerous classical texts of Ayurveda. However, comparative efficacy and randomized trials on various prakriti types have not been studied. Thus, to assess the comparative efficacy of Jyotishmati in enhancing IQ and memory in relation to Yastimadhu as standard control, this research has been planned.
 Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Jyotishmati on IQ and memory, and compare the efficacy with that of Yastimadhu in children with different prakriti types.
 Methodology: It will be conducted on healthy school-age children of 8-13 years, recruited from CBSE schools near Mahatma Gandhi Ayurved College, Hospital and Research Centre, Salod, Wardha. The study will be a randomized, standard-controlled, double-blind, parallel group clinical study. All participants will be randomly divided into two groups, each of 30 individuals; each group is subdivided into three subgroups of 10 individuals each. One group will be given Jyotishmati while the other will be given Yastimadhu, both in granule form. IQ assessment will be done by using the Draw a Man test and the PGI memory scale for memory assessment.
 Expected Results: This study will validate the efficacy of Jyotishmati and Yastimadhuin enhancing IQ and memory, and it will give detailed information about their efficacy in different Prakriti dominantchildren.
 Conclusion: This study will provide unique information to increase awareness of the administration of Medhya drugs according to Prakriti, as well as knowledge about which drug is best for improving either IQ or memory, or both.
