EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING: A CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING APPROACH FOR HOLISTIC LEARNER DEVELOPMENT
Ms. Steffi Stannly D’costa
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.8023472
Abstract
Certificate
Education as a field is constantly evolving which continuously adapts its structure, vision and objectives which
enables it to successfully meet the challenges and significant changes occurring in society. Experiential learning
is a suitable alternative which directly focuses on the skills and attitudes related to critical thinking and problem
solving, being less reliant on mechanical learning and memorizing. We can describe experiential learning as a
process. Experiences that we have in our daily lives are generated through our various ongoing interactions and
engagement with the world around us and thus learning becomes a definite product of our experience.
Experiential learning theory is different from the various other learning theories as it focuses on a more holistic
approach. Experiences play a very important role in our learning; they are formed by the interaction of our
emotions, cognition and environmental factors. In this paper we aim to look at how experiential learning
provides a great scope for research as to what the experiential learning cycle looks like, the practical use in
order to improve upon the human thought process and understand the learning in a better way thus giving an
insight into the benefits of this model of learning, and its application in different areas of life.

DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.8023507
Abstract
Certificate
The mobile technology has revolutionized the world so hastily that to fathom the degree of the impact is
practically impossible. Smartphones owing to their ubiquitous element are synonymous to the most basic bodily
needs of humans and indispensable. COVID 19 accelerated the use of smartphones to unprecedented levels
which led to an emergence of high numbers of technological addicts. Nomophobia understood as phobia
associated with “no mobile phone” is a state of experiencing irrational fear and anxiety by individuals when
not able to access their mobile phones or in situations when they are not online. Mobile phone addiction is
serious and alarming. Self-esteem, personality, anxiety, stress, mental and physical health issues, academic
performance are all getting affected due to nomophobia. The present study while reviewing the research done
in the field of nomophobia seeks to answer two research questions- 1. What is the prevalence and levels of
nomophobia among students? 2. How severe is the impact of nomophobia among students? In the wake of the
potential threats posed by nomophobia, the paper presents some strategies that education systems can adopt to

LEARNER’S SELF-ENGAGING SPACE: A STEP TOWARDS CREATING COGNITIVELY ACTIVE LEARNERS
Dr. Asmita Huddar
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.8023519
Abstract
Certificate
The end result of the teaching learning process has to be actualised at the learners end and by the learner himself
/ herself. In spite of effective teaching, the onus of learning rests upon the learner. Do our current pedagogical
/ andragogical practices give the learners space to uptake, digest and reflect upon the learnt content in an own
unique way? Probably not. The author recommends a practice called LSS – Learner’s Self-engaging Space in
teaching where the teacher discontinues talking giving learners a silent cognitive space to reflect and consolidate
the learning. The learner would thus get a better opportunity for information uptake. S/he would be able to
‘construct’ knowledge independently and with reference to his / her unique context. The author further describes
the logistics of LSS and highlights its benefits.

all children despite their physical, intellectual, social, sensitive, etymological, or other conditions. In inclusive
education, we can count children with different capabilities, and as they are from different backgrounds they
have to be met by creating a child-centered pedagogy accomplished of magnificently educating all children. This
Present research article emphasizes the right to education and its aim of counting ALL children in conventional
education. It elaborates on the concept of inclusive education. It also tried to discover how to make an inclusive
learning-friendly classroom and safe learning environment and also contracts with the aspects of creating an
inclusive classroom. It is also able to acquire and access equal prospects for education and learning.
In very simple meaning we can say that inclusion in education means believing every child, doesn’t matter what
their personal requirements or difficulties with learning, they have an equal opportunity to learn and the same
opportunities to attain. Inclusion in schools doesn’t mean only providing supplementary support to children with
special educational needs. It's about generating a cultural atmosphere that works for all children, whether they
have an incapacity, learn English as a supplementary language, are a member of a minority community, come
from a middle-class low-income family – or find it difficult to learn and achieve for other reasons.
To meet the particular requirements of children in our class, it is generally necessary to keep some special
strategies, there are a number of things that all teachers can do to build a safe, happy, determined, and inclusive
environment. To construct an inclusive and safe learning environment all-purpose examples of inclusion in the
classroom are covered in this article.

Abstract
Certificate
The socio-emotional wellbeing of college students is a critical issue that requires attention from colleges and
universities. This paper aims to explore the ways in which socio-emotional wellbeing can be enhanced through
college. A literature review was conducted to identify effective interventions and factors that can promote college
students' socio-emotional wellbeing. The literature reviews identified several key interventions that can be
effective in promoting college students' socio-emotional wellbeing, including mindfulness-based interventions,
peer support programs, exercise interventions, cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology interventions,
and social support networks. Additionally, the literature reviews emphasised the significance of tackling
variables such as sleep, resilience, and self-compassion in promoting college students' socio-emotional
wellbeing. By implementing these interventions and addressing these factors, colleges and universities can
support the mental health and wellbeing of their students, which can in turn contribute to their academic success
and overall quality of life. Overall, the findings suggest that promoting a multi-dimensional approach to
enhancing college students' socio-emotional wellbeing, tailored to address the unique needs and experiences of
individual college students, is critical for achieving this goal.

Abstract
Certificate
The Internet world in the last two decades has upgraded the way people socialize, communicate, shop, make
business and think about learning and exploring new knowledge. Adding on to the distance learning, a new twist
of online schooling is modifying the method of traditional offline classrooms and making education more
accessible and easily available than ever before. It is kind of a rich learning environment and is much more
flexible than a traditional classroom. On the other hand, traditional learning primarily focuses on classroom
education which is very much limited to a predetermined time duration and at a specific location where the
learners are expected to be present and attend the class. The educators have shifted their traditional pedagogical
approach to the online teaching style to tackle new conditions and adapt to the changing situations. This
transformation brought forth the daunting question of effectiveness of online versus traditional education. With
this question in view, the researcher decided to conduct a study to identify student preferences about online

GOOGLE MEET: A REMOTE COMMUNICATION TOOL FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
Dr. Joan Lopes
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.8023583
Abstract
Certificate
At the time of this research being conducted, schools have practiced the online learning mode and are slowly
fluctuating back from the traditional offline mode, and hence the difference between online and offline teaching
can be noticed by the students as well as the school authorities. Students from kindergarten right up to grade
ten have spent a lot of time sitting in front of tools, trying to study through this new mode of learning. While
some believe that the unplanned and rapid move to online learning without any training and with little
preparation will result in a poor user experience, others believe that a new hybrid model of education will
emerge, with significant benefits. For those who do have proper access to the right technology, there is an
indication that learning online can be more effective in a few ways. Some researchers have found that on
average, students retain more material when learning online compared to only in a classroom. However, the
effectiveness of online learning varies amongst age groups.
