RECENT RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCE
RECENT RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCE

This book on recent research in social science presents new perspectives on old issues of social, economic and cultural conflicts. Authors have contributed chapters on different theme related to the topic and this book will be of benefit to readers of social sciences.

The social sciences are the fields of scholarship that study society. “Social science” is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to a plurality of fields outside of the natural sciences. These include: anthropology, archaeology, business administration, criminology, economics, education, geography, linguistics, political science, sociology, international relations, communication, and, in some contexts, history, law, and psychology.
The term may be used, however, in the specific context of referring to the original science of society established in 19th century sociology. Émile Durkheim, Karl Marx and Max Weber are typically cited as the principal architects of modern social science by this definition. Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural sciences as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter modern sense. Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader sense. In modern academic practice, researchers are often eclectic, using multiple methodologies (for instance, by combining the quantitative and qualitative techniques). The term “social research” has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share in its aims and methods.

Reasons to attend a Conference in your domain

You might be wondering why in this age of information where anybody can learn about their favorite topic of interest right from the comfort of their own home, why attending an international conference is still advantageous. The simplest answer is that there are some things that one simply cannot learn online on a computer or gadget. Listed below in detail are the many ways in which attending an international conference can have a tremendous positive impact on your career and work.

 

  1. Regaining the Initial fervour and Passion That You Had

Very often, researchers, scientists, and academicians find that they no longer have the same love for their subject and work that they did when they first began. Gradually over the years, many of these researchers begin to forget how much their work really means to them because of several factors including discouragements, lack of results, lack of funding, etc. A number of such researchers have found that by attending an international conference and learning new things as well as meeting new people, they have been somehow become inspired and have managed to regain the “beginner’s passion” that they once had about their work.

Conference-Listing

  1. Face To Face Meetings with Influencers

Even if you do somehow manage to connect with top influencers in your field via social media, nothing can live up to a face-to-face discussion with someone whom you look up to in the industry or an influencer. Technology with all its advances still cannot replicate the magic of a face-to-face meeting. There are some things that just cannot be said over a video call or conference with an influence who draw inspiration from. By meeting a person face-to-face you get the measure of that person, otherwise impossible over a text, voice or video conversation.

  1. Get Up-To-Date On the Latest Industry Trends

An important of a researcher’s career is to stay up-to-date with all the advances and developments in their respective fields. Getting to know about such developments and breakthroughs can prove to be incredibly beneficial to your own line of research, even though they might be completely unconnected. A number of veteran researchers have attested to the fact that they have managed to come up with solutions to their own research after learning about how someone else solved a completely unrelated problem.

  1. Crucial Networking

Although your new company or research work might be in the works and not completed yet, you might want to make some serious industry connections that are guaranteed to be a benefit sooner or later. Making a connection with someone in the industry over a coffee break, during lunch or during pauses at an international conference is one of the best ways to network. In fact, most attendees at international conference are there for the sole purpose of making valuable connections with key members in the industry.

  1. Awareness of All the Latest Tools

International conferences are often where a lot of companies choose to advertise or spread awareness of their products and tools. A researcher who is aware of the existence of these new tools can now choose to shift to more productive and reliable methods of performing their research, than someone who has no idea about their existence and is continuing to use old and outdated tools that yield unsatisfactory results.

  1. Connecting With Peers

Any researcher, scientist or academician worth their salt will tell you that being positive plays a crucial role in the long-term success of your work. Very often being positive is easier said than done. That is why it is highly recommended that researchers, who are in a rut with respect to their research and work, attend international conferences where they will get to meet like-minded people who are undertaking the same journey as them. Connecting and talking to such people can give you an idea of how they solved problems that you are currently facing or even how not to commit the same mistakes as they did.

Do you encouraged to attend an international conference after reading all the above advantages, but do not know how to find out about conferences to attend? Not to worry!  At Conference Alerts, we are dedicated to being a highly reliable and trusted source of any and all information regarding top-level international conferences happening across the globe.

Tips on making a Successful Career switch

A lot of millennials are known for hopping jobs in their quest for job fulfilment. Their idea of a dream job frequently changes and they aren’t really shying away from taking that important decision of switching their career. If you too are sailing the same boat, then there are a few things you can keep in mind to successfully switch your career:change your career

Prepare yourself mentally: Career change is also like any other important life change where a career move should start with a self reflection. Ask yourself what is the first thing that you want from your job, what can’t you negotiate on, and which factors you can compromise upon? Ask yourself if it is ok to take advice from your mentor or peers. You are likely to get a positive response from this in-depth analysis and be ready to face the truth.

Prepare Yourself Financially: Career change requires savings. Imagine leaving your job without a single penny in your pocket. Oh, you can’t imagine it for sure. Thus, it’s suggested that you save up for the days that you will be jobless, or you can also opt for an emergency loan. Check this link: https://letmebank.com/emergency-loans-for-bad-credit/.

Assess your dream career/job: In order to avoid any disappointments in the future, talk to those who work in your favourite job. Follow them on social media, try to interact with them and ask them their opinion about your choice. Since they are already working in that field, they will be able to give you a real picture of what the new job holds for you. This can also help you with your job hunting process.

Assess your skills: If you are going for a career change, make sure you carry some transferable skills with you. You don’t necessary have to go back to skill to learn skills to make that career switch. Transferable skills such as project management, communication, collaboration, etc. are something that you can carry and use in your next job as well.

Give it a try: Before you take that final call, give it a try and assess yourself properly. You could take a few weeks off and work in your new job as an intern just to get the hang of things. This will help you understand the positives and the pitfalls of the new career and you will not be thrown away by any surprises later on.

Making a successful career switch is all about taking that final call and staying committed to it. There are plenty of jobs in Pune for you to target if you are in the nearby area. Explore everything you can before making that final call.

 

SCHOOL CLIMATE—THE POSSIBLE REASON FOR EDUCATIONAL STRESS OF AIDED SCHOOL STUDENTS OF KERALA

JENY RAPHEAL

school climate

             The National School Climate Center (NSCC) (1996) defines school climate as the quality and character of school life. School climate constitutes patterns of students’, parents ‘and school personnel’s experience of school life and reflects norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, teaching and learning practices, and organizational structures. Schools differ in their climate and this climate has definite role in determining the well-being and happiness of students. When we notice considerable difference in the educational stress levels of students studying in government, aided and public schools there is enough reason to trace for its causes in the school climate of those schools.

     A survey was made in two Aided, two Government and two Private schools of Thrissur district in Kerala state. 261 higher secondary school students participated in the survey.

Aided Aleemul islam higher Secondary school, 43
Chaldean Syrian Higher secondary School, 56
Private Nirmalamatha Central School CBSE, 41
Sandeepany Vidhya Niketan ICSE, 21
Government Anchery Govt Higher Secondary School, 48
Government Model Boy’s School, 52

            Contrary to the usual norm prevailing among parents and teachers, private school students exhibited comparatively lower levels of stress than their counterparts in Aided and Government Schools. Aided school students had highest level of stress.

            The survey which conducted during September-October 2017 probed five dimensions of educational stress namely   pressure from study, workload factor, worry about grades, self-expectation and despondency. The standardized tool used for the study was a five point Likert scale developed by a group of educational researchers presided by Jiandong Sun in 2011. Before the survey it was translated into Malayalam and all statistical procedures for asserting validity and reliability were duly performed.

The mean value of stress level was “above average” for the entire sample of students participated in the study. Graphical representation of school wise comparison are given below

NOT

Why this difference?

             School climate or culture will have a serious role in the educational stress of adolescents. Research findings back this perspective. At the same time socio-economic status of parents is another major factor affecting the educational stress of students. For example, there are studies showing academic anxiety is significantly low among students whose parents have higher educational qualification. Also academic stress and examination anxiety of students usually exhibit an inverse relationship with educational and income levels of their parents. Findings of researches going on in many parts of India keep on reiterating this claim.

Socio-economic status of parents is more or less same

             In Kerala, private schools are where students from high socio economic status flock. In search of better avenues for excellence both in life and education the creamy layer of society opt for CBSE or ICSE syllabus for their wards. At the same time, lately, there is a trend for this group to shift into Kerala syllabus thanks to the differences in the criteria with which the grades scored by students following two syllabuses—Kerala and Central— are estimated at the time of admission for various courses for higher studies. Due to this, affluent parents too are willing to send their wards to aided schools provided; these schools maintain a reputation for their pass percentage. For this reason, one may consider that the socio economic back ground of students studying in aided and private schools are more or less same.

            So there is enough reason to assume that increased stress levels noticed in the students of aided educational institutions is not exclusively due to socio-economic status and related individual differences. It might be due to some peculiarities constituting the very culture or clime of those schools.

School climate can be the reason

 

            School climate has the potential to permeate into overall well-being of the students. For a student, school climate enters into his psychological makeup through teacher-student interactions, peer interactions, class room experiences, parent-teacher communications etc. All these interactions will be laden with the ethos for which school stands for. Educational vision/mission of the institution determines the very texture of all experiences students meet within the school. So difference in educational stress can be a difference in the educational attitude schools foster.

            An in-depth enquiry into the matter will uncover the facts. Educational ministry of Kerala which is hell-bent on raising the standard of educational institutions cannot avoid this angle of exploration. Educational stress among students can jeopardize any well crafted educational policy.

            In all the five indicators of educational stress, aided school scored highest which included pressure from study and worry of grades. The competition among schools to secure 100% pass in board exams and teachers pressurizing the students to meet this end is one of the salient features of working culture of teaching professionals of schools of Kerala. So whenever dealing with student educational stress the role of school climate in it must be probed into.
