Teachers’ Concerns about Teaching – Learning Process

Teachers are mainly concerned about education in general and specifically in teaching-learning process. There have been many studies on student teachers' concerns, but a very few on teachers' concerns about the teaching-learning process. According to their categorization of the teachers' concerns into three categories: self, task, and impact. Inservice teachers expressed more impact concerns than self- or task-related issues. While the current study aims to uncover the different concerns that teachers have, as well as how gender, teaching experience, and place of employment affect those concerns, it also seeks to understand how those concerns relate to one another. The sample for the study consisted of 37 teachers who attended the induction programme for Hindi PGTs working in Navodaya Vidyalayas from all over India. The 20-item checklist utilized in the survey approach is used to compile the teachers’ concerns. The correlation test and the chi-Square test are statistical tests used for data analysis. Learning, achievement, curriculum, classroom management, and students' needs, motivation, and behaviour are the identified components of teachers' concerns. The study's findings showed that female teachers indicated more concern than their male counterparts, and that teachers' concerns were unaffected by their teaching background or their State of employment. Results indicated a significant positive association between classroom management and students' needs, motivation, and behaviour. This has the connotation that, regardless of the curriculum, a student's progress is determined by classroom management, which considers their needs, engagement, and efforts to play a part in the growth of the country. The study concludes that teachers are responsive to the attainment of the educational objectives they have established for themselves as teachers.

Predicting student dropouts using random forest

Among the other problems in the learning process, student dropout is an acute problem that needs to be taken care of by the educationist and policymakers. This paper is based on 330 students admitted to the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) school in the 6th class in five successive batches. The dataset has ten attributes out of which eight variables are categorical, and two are numerical. The paper addresses the research question as to what factors are important vis-a-vis the dropout students. Further, we have applied a random forest classifier to predict the school dropouts after five years. The results show that performance in the 6th class, income, father’s education, and gender are factors that influence the school dropouts. The random forest classifier achieves 86 per cent accuracy, 41 percent sensitivity and 98 percent specificity. We need to take data from more schools to further generalize the study.
