DOI : 10.5281/EIIRJ.7275433
Abstract
Certificate
Anxiety is one of the most common psychological disorders that has been observed in both school-aged children
and adolescents worldwide. Many students face anxiety issues when they think they are unable to achieve their
academic or non-academic purposes; however, sometimes anxiety helps in encouraging students to critically think
about how to achieve the set goals. Students cope with anxiety in various ways, but most of them struggle to deal
with anxiety effectively which probably causes many symptoms that affect their physical and mental health.
Therefore, it is one of the many responsibilities of teachers to help students deal and manage their emotions and
keep them mentally healthy. In India, the main cause of anxiety among school children and adolescents is the
unrealistically high educational expectations from parents as well as teachers for students to outdo their
classmates and their personal best, every time. The present study analyzes the anxiety level of secondary and junior
college students. The study reflected that student who are not appearing for board examinations, that is those from
9th and 11th standard, had a higher level of anxiety as compared to those who are appearing that is 10th and 12th.

Bushra Md. Aamir Ansari & Shahnaaz Mirza
DOI : 10.5281/EIIRJ.7275438
Abstract
Certificate
Nowadays, there has been a process of change in teaching and learning pedagogy which extends from the old
traditional conceptions to constructivism which is trending. It has been justified that this change and
transformation in the educational system deeply affects not only in-class processes but also teachers’ conceptions
about these pedagogies. However, many teachers tend to resist changing their teaching techniques and
intentionally do not adopt alternative strategies, methods and techniques that could be more effective. Teachers’
perceptions of their pedagogical competence are important and considered to be highly effective in their teaching
and learning conceptions. The teaching-learning conceptions is defined as the ways and methodologies used by
teachers to organize their teaching-learning environments for purposeful learning. The objective of this research
is to examine the attitude of in-service teachers from English medium and urdu medium institutes towards their
teaching-learning conceptions. According to the findings of the research, it was observed that teachers from
English medium preferred traditional approach over constructivist approach. Also, English medium teachers had
a more positive attitude towards their teaching learning conception as compared to urdu medium teachers.

Abstract
Certificate
Computers have become an integral part of students' life and its importance in the field of education cannot be
ignored. Usage of computers is seen as an essential part of curriculum providing students with opportunities to
access large amounts of information and utilize various web-based applications and content related to their
studies. With the invention of the Internet, computers have become a global system of connections between millions
of learners that allows dissemination of information easily. With the generation that is completely dependent on
computers the concept of computer anxiety among students has also become a topic of concern. Students who have
used computers are less likely to have computer anxiety as compared to those who have never had an opportunity
to do so because of which they avoid, or minimize its usage. Communication gap between its usage instructions
can be one of the reasons for increasing computer anxiety. Overuse of computers has also led to a new form of
addiction among adolescents. Computer anxiety involves an individual’s feelings of unease, apprehension and
fear about computer use. The present study emphasizes the attitude of adolescents towards computer anxiety. The
results reflected that gender had no effect on computer anxiety. Those students belonging to Urdu medium schools
