The present teaching techniques needs revised thinking to make learning more effective for students. In fact the teaching methodology should be such by which the students can be involved in reading, thinking, problem solving and then learning by their own efforts. For this purpose self-learning method is a very effective media. There are several Self Learning Techniques in which learner can learn by their own pace. Patel, Bhanubhai(1993) and Sakhiya,R.B.(2006) also did an experiment for self-learning technique. They both found self-learning technique effective. Present study was differing from these two studies because researcher made PLM with the help of computer programme MS Power point. Students of Std-11(Commerce) were selected for the purpose of research. Can the subject “Basic elements of accountancy” be made easier by using Programmed Learning Material? Is the Programmed Learning Method similarly effective for boys and girls? The investigator has thought about all such crucial questions for undertaking this research. Hence the topic “EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRAMMED LEARNING MATERIAL INTEACHING BASIC ELEMENTS OF ACCOUNTANCY SUBJECT FOR STUDENTS OF STANDARD XI” is selected for the presentation.

The present teaching techniques needs revised thinking to make learning more effective for students. In fact the teaching methodology should be such by which the students can be involved in reading, thinking, problem solving and then learning by their own efforts. It becomes more important at B.Ed. Level. For this purpose self-learning method is a very effective media. There are several Self Learning Techniques in which learner can learn by their own pace. Inamdar, J.A (1981), Suthar, K.S (1981), Debi Meena Kumari (1989), concluded that Programmed learning method was more effective. Can the learning of cognitive domain be made easier by using Programmed Learning Material? Is the Programmed Learning Method similarly effective for boys and girls? The investigator has thought about all such crucial questions for undertaking this research.

We will begin by discussing the early history of programmed learning and showing how the interpretation of the term has evolved over the years. The origin of programmed learning had its roots in behavioural psychology- the new ‘scientific’ school of psychology that was pioneered by the American psychologist B F Skinner during the 1950’s. Behavioural psychology was based on what is generally referred to as the stimulus response (S-R) model of behaviour. One important feature of the original stimulus-response model of learning was the concept of successive reinforcement. Another feature is that a desired S-R bond would be firmly established if the learner was supplied with immediate feedback in the form of the correct answer immediately after attempting a particular learning task such as answering a question. Another feature of Skinner’s original theory was that each successive stimulus-response step should be small enough to ensure that the learner was nearly always correct in his or her response.

This paper focuses on the new users cold-start issue in the context of recommender systems. New users who do not receive pertinent recommendations may abandon the system. In order to cope with this issue, we use active learning techniques. These methods engage the new users to interact with the system by presenting them with a questionnaire that aims to understand their preferences to the related items. In this paper, we propose an active learning technique that exploits past users’ interests and past users’ predictions in order to identify the best questions to ask. Our technique achieves a better performance in terms of precision (RMSE), which leads to learn the users’ preferences in less questions. The experimentations were carried out in a small and public dataset to prove the applicability for handling cold start issues.

A review of the relevant literature suggests the hypothesis that (1) the requirement of overt (written) responses to the program interferes with learning for students of high ability and (2) facilitates learning for students of low ability. The hypothesis was tested in two different experiments which followed the same procedures but which utilized two different programs. Analyses of variance were made for the scores on a posttest and for the scores on a Σ Criterion Frames Test. All F values for interactions were nonsignificant, the main effect of response mode was nonsignificant except in one analysis which favored the covert response mode; finally, the main effect of ability was highly significant. In terms of immediate achievement students who responded covertly performed at least as well as students who responded overtly, and students who responded covertly spent significantly less time in reaching the same level of achievement. This conclusion appears to apply at both ends of the ability continuum.

The objective of this research is to present and support the implementation of a teaching methodology based on active learning in a programming course taught to students of the first year of the civil engineering career. The active learning techniques used are project-based learning and collaborative learning. The research methodology is the study of three cases. The application of this methodology is supported by the increase in the percentages of achievement of the learning results obtained by the students of the same course in which this methodology was implemented (academic year 2015), to the detriment of students where a traditional methodology of teaching was applied (academic year 2013-2014). To evaluate the achievement, formative and summative evaluations were used by the teaching staff (heteroevaluation), and a self-assessment was implemented at the end of the course as well. From the obtained results it is evident that, when applying an active methodology, the students increase their achievement in each learning result; they reduce the gap between their perception of what is learned and the evaluation of teachers; and they improve their attitudinal skills (self-learning, teamwork, development and presentation of reports), among other benefits.

This paper focuses on the new users cold-start issue in the context of recommender systems. New users who do not receive pertinent recommendations may abandon the system. In order to cope with this issue, we use active learning techniques. These methods engage the new users to interact with the system by presenting them with a questionnaire that aim to understand their preferences to the related items. Example of questions may include "do you like this book?" and the users answer,"yes", "no", "I have not read it (unknown)", will reflect the degree of interest for the item by the users. As a consequence, the system can learn the users' preferences from these answers. The goal of active learning is to correctly choose the questions (items) for users. Thus it is necessary to personalize the questionnaires to retrieve the maximum information by avoiding "unknown" answers. In this paper, we propose an active learning technique that exploits past users' interests and past users' predictions in order to identify the best questions to ask.

Online courses are gaining popularity because they provide extensive and varied course material, information, knowledge, and skills, whilst also creating an effective educational online community. This research adopts a case study approach to focus on the teaching method and the manner in which a strategic commitment to eLearning provides scope for the development and implementation of top quality educational online fully accredited programs. Entrepreneurship focuses on developing businesses that add value and create wealth and prosperity in our societies. Therefore, entrepreneurship is a key area of learning for graduate students seeking to set up and operate their own SME organizations. It can serve as a benchmark for the teaching of other graduate subjects that require a sound correlation for the correlation of concepts and theories to the challenging complexities of the real world. The program was developed on the basis of the implementation of a state-of-the-art eLearning platform that allowed for a combination of varied self-learning and collaborative learning elements and activities within a single platform. This enabled students to access the online content material efficiently and effectively. It allows for the development of a program based on the flipped classroom teaching methodology. The underlying concept of the flipped classroom methodology is that effective eLearning should comprise both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. This combination of self-learning and collaborative learning calls for careful planning by the tutor to ensure that the learning objectives are clearly defined for each activity and that the relevant deliverables are monitored. The content material for each subject course module was designed, developed, produced, and presented by the different project partners in a holistic manner structured to motivate participants to learn. The results of our analysis have shown that students were able to learn, discuss their projects, and cooperate during an online course in an effective and participant-focused manner with their tutors. The feedback given highlights the importance of ongoing communications between students and the tutors who often need to act as mentors to retain student engagement.
