EdTech or educational technology generally are utilised by educators, schools, and other organisations to enable and support their efforts to teach students in fresh and engaging ways. Technology-enabled education has been trending worldwide for many years but the recent pandemic of COVID 19 has brought a paradigm shift in teaching-learning processes. EdTech has facilitated learning by breaking walls of geographical and cultural boundaries across all sections of societies in India. The paper aims at understanding the perception and responsiveness of people towards EdTech. The study also focuses on identifying opportunities and challenges of EdTeching future. The structured questionnaire was circulated using a convenient sampling method to collect primary data from 44 respondents. The questionnaire included aspects of devices used, frequency of use, preference to learn and so on. It was found that the respondents had a fair idea about the functioning of EdTech and respondents used EdTech as a primary and secondary source of knowledge equally. The key challenges faced in using EdTech were found to be technical issues, lack of personal touch and attention and inability to pose questions on the spot. If the interface is made user-friendly and lectures are made available on offline platforms too then the utility can be multiplied so as to reach to last leg of society.

The purpose of the study is to 1) analyze different notions of good governance and the methodologies for its evaluation, 2) furnish instruments for the execution and dissemination of exemplary governance norms, 3) enhance ethical consciousness and dedication to principled behavior and 4) enhance efficiency and maintain engagement in ethical training. Good governance and fighting against corruption are frequently linked, whereas corruption is frequently linked to poor governance. Certain fundamental tenets of good governance are also tenets of anti-corruption. The literature associates effective political systems with various characteristics such as participation, adherence to the rule of law, transparency, responsiveness, consensus-oriented, equity and inclusiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, and accountability. Public confidence is essential for efficient governance. It is suggested that a variety of traits be had in order to accomplish good governance, with the ability to strike a balance between practical and general ethics, make connections between morality and other world issues, emphasis the value of morality and ethics in daily life, and also place an emphasis on global ethics and universal principles while allowing for a variety of regional and cultural viewpoints.

The Effect of Parental Discipline Style on Mothers' Perceptions of Social Skills and Learning Motivation: Recent Study | Chapter 7 | Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 2

The reported research is a quantitative study examining the effect of parental discipline style and its four dimensions—Demandingness, Enforcement, Punishment and Responsiveness—on mothers' perceptions of their children's social skills and learning motivation. The sample consisted of 99 mothers and 129 children aged 8–12 years. It was found that each of the four dimensions of parental discipline style was positively correlated with learning motivation and social skills after controlling for sociodemographic background variables. Learning motivation was the most strongly and positively correlated with Enforcement and most weakly correlated with Demandingness, whereas social skills were most strongly positively correlated with Responsiveness and most weakly correlated with Enforcement. Responsiveness was found to be the major predictor of learning motivation as well as social skills, and was strongly and positively correlated with both.
