Educational strategies are designed to cope with and fulfill the multifarious pedagogical and educational needs of teachers and learners. Moreover, no educational plan can possibly yield the required results without incorporating suitable instructive strategies. This research paper advocates the role and importance of schemas in learning new forms of knowledge and data in the perspective of class room teaching-learning. Cognitive approach is adopted to understand how students learn new forms of knowledge and experiences through different mental processes, quite unlike that of behaviorism. The concept of schema helps us understand how learners can link new pieces of information to the already existing knowledge in their minds. The notion of ‘Constructivist Approach’ has been extracted from the field of educational psychology for triangulation. Extracts are taken from the textbooks of English used in matriculation and intermediate through purposive sampling. Their analysis shows that schemas can play a vital role in enhancing the learning experience and making new forms of knowledge a permanent part of the memory of students which is the ultimate goal of education.

Background and Objective: Stock closing price prediction is enormously complicated. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are excellent approximation algorithms applied to this area. Several nature-inspired evolutionary optimization techniques are proposed and used in the literature to search the optimum parameters of ANN based forecasting models. However, most of them need fine-tuning of several control parameters as well as algorithm specific parameters to achieve optimal performance. Improper tuning of such parameters either leads toward additional computational cost or local optima. Methods: Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) is a newly proposed algorithm which does not necessitate any parameters specific to it. The intrinsic capability of Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) to recognize the multifaceted nonlinear relationship present in the historical stock data made it popular and got wide applications in the stock market prediction. This article presents a hybrid model termed as Teaching Learning Based Optimization of Functional Neural Networks (TLBO-FLN) by combining the advantages of both TLBO and FLANN. Results and Conclusion: The model is evaluated by predicting the short, medium, and long-term closing prices of four emerging stock markets. The performance of the TLBO-FLN model is measured through Mean Absolute Percentage of Error (MAPE), Average Relative Variance (ARV), and coefficient of determination (R2); compared with that of few other state-of-the-art models similarly trained and found superior.

Due to its clean and abundant availability, solar energy is popular as a source from which to generate electricity. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight incident on the solar PV panel or array directly into non-linear DC electricity. However, the non-linear nature of the solar panels’ power needs to be tracked for its efficient utilization. The problem of non-linearity becomes more prominent when the solar PV array is shaded, even leading to high power losses and concentrated heating in some areas (hotspot condition) of the PV array. Bypass diodes used to eliminate the shading effect cause multiple peaks of power on the power versus voltage (P-V) curve and make the tracking problem quite complex. Conventional algorithms to track the optimal power point cannot search the complete P-V curve and often become trapped in local optima. More recently, metaheuristic algorithms have been employed for maximum power point tracking. Being stochastic, these algorithms explore the complete search area, thereby eliminating any chance of becoming trapped stuck in local optima. This paper proposes a hybridized version of two metaheuristic algorithms, Radial Movement Optimization and teaching-learning based optimization (RMOTLBO). The algorithm has been discussed in detail and applied to multiple shading patterns in a solar PV generation system. It successfully tracks the maximum power point (MPP) in a lesser amount of time and lesser fluctuations.
