Law Of Evidence

This article experientially narrates the innovative use of certain fact-finding and analysis methods, namely, ‘an investigation problem’, the Wigmorean chart method and the probability theory with Bayesian analysis (with the case law demonstrating its pragmatic application and limitation), by the author, an Indian law teacher, in teaching his ‘law of evidence’ course. This marks a departure from the conventional way of teaching evidence law in India, which presents its own challenges. In the course of this article, the author vividly shares his teaching experiences, discusses the academic resources used, highlights the key learning outcomes derived in administering these components, and delineates their overall positive impact on the learning of the subject. He further validates these experiences on the basis of the results of an empirical study conducted by him, in which a large number of his students voluntarily participated and gave their feedbacks. The results demonstrate the efficacy of these factual analysis methods individually, and their positive correlation with the increased understanding and knowledge of this course. This is descriptively demonstrated by the results obtained from Kendall’s Tau-b correlation which, along with the graphics, show a significant monotonic relationship between the said three methods and their cumulative contribution in terms of the overall learning of the subject. This empirical study also demonstrates an overall match between the author’s teaching experience as an evidence law teacher in teaching the avowed fact analysis methods, and his evidence law class’ experience as the students learning them, which is crucial for every effective teaching–learning exercise. After discussing important literature on teaching fact analysis and evidence law, the author concludes by justifying his overall use of the ‘hybrid approach’ in teaching his ‘law of evidence’ course. Consequentially, this study seeks to inspire other evidence law teachers to pedagogically assimilate similar methods in their curricula.

<p>This action research was conducted to highlight how far the improvement of students’ reading comprehension skill after being treated by implementing QAR strategy and to find out the advantages when QAR is implemented in teaching reading comprehension. The research was organized at SMA Negeri 1 Rangkasbitung, Lebak - Banten. The subject of the research was the eleventh grade students, class IPS<sup>3</sup>. The design of it was an action research by covering three cycles, and every cycle consists of five meetings. Planning, acting, observing, and reflecting were implemented in every cycle to get a clear data. The research applied two sorts of data collecting: qualitative and quantitative data. Observation, recording, and interview were conducted to obtain qualitative data, while the quantitative data was gained through test. The research finding reflected that implementing Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) Strategy can help students in comprehending the text while answering the questions. The students were able to categorize the questions as well to avoid spending too much time while finding the answer. The implementation of QAR Strategy in teaching-learning process was getting better cycle to cycle, the students were energetic, active, enthusiastic, and felt much more confident to take a part in reading learning activity eventually. It showed that teacher’s teaching strategy had positive impact to students’ reading comprehension, and could arouse students’ motivation and participation as well to learn which greatly influenced their reading comprehension skill. It is helpful for teacher as a framework for directing questioning activities and comprehension instruction in pre-, while-, and post-reading. Implementing QAR in reading comprehension can ensure that it does not only focus on lower-level skills and question but in high level as well and it can motivate students to think critically and creatively.  Considering QAR is helpful and beneficial for both teacher and students, the institution may implement QAR for any grades and school subjects in order to make students familiar with higher-level question. Therefore, it will be no longer difficult to comprehend the text for students who have been treated by implementing QAR.</p>

The article focuses on the tendencies of future educators’ identification with an educational paradigm recognizable during educational philosophy studies at BA level. The article is founded on the analyses of scientific literature discussing correlation between educational philosophy and an educational paradigm as well as on the data from the empirical study, i.e. students’ argumentative essays on educational philosophy. The empirical study was performed at the Faculty of Lithuanian Philology and Social Communication Institute of Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences. Qualitative research method has been applied in the study along with the qualitative analyses of argumentative essays as well as SOLO taxonomy as a means of assessing the complexity of learning. The Research Question: to what extent can teaching of educational philosophy influence the future educators’ identification with an educational paradigm? Object: The tendencies of future educators’ identification with an educational paradigm. Goal: to highlight the tendencies of students’ identification with an educational paradigm determined by educational philosophy studies. The objectives: 1. To define the idea of identification with philosophical conceptions of education; 2. To justify the importance of identification with a philosophical conception of education; 3. To highlight, on the basis of empirical study, the tendencies among students as future educators towards identification with philosophical conceptions of education. The following conclusions are drawn in the article: As educational paradigms are considered to be variations of answers to the main questions of educational philosophy, the direct correlation between educational philosophy and educational paradigm is obvious. Therefore, by identifying themselves with an educational philosophy, educators also identify themselves with an educational paradigm. The subject of Educational Philosophy, taught at undergraduate level at Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences, has an effect on future educators’ identification with educational paradigms. Therefore, it is important for the lecturers to have a purposeful educational philosophy course program centering on cognition of educational paradigms and to adopt educational strategies oriented towards a student’s individuality. Future educators identify themselves with philosophical conceptions of education by comparing new knowledge to their present experience, such as professional teaching activities (in extramural studies) or school learning/teaching experience (in full-time studies). Therefore, there is a clear tendency that more extramural students than full-time students identify themselves with a classical educational paradigm, whereas more full-time students than extramural students identify themselves with a liberal educational paradigm. The qualitative analyses of educational philosophy course students’ final argumentative essays shows that nearly a half (48.06 percent) of the students who are making efforts to identify themselves with a philosophical conception of education have either reached or are approaching the third level of internalization of philosophical concepts of education, which is when they are acquiring individual believes and determination to act in accordance to these concepts and when the complete identity is developing. The subject of Educational Philosophy at BA level may positively influence the numbers of teachers adopting the free educational paradigm when teaching at school.
