This study aims to investigate the personal digital information practices of engineering faculty members in terms of finding, organizing, keeping, and re-finding information. Quantitative research design based on survey method was used to collect data through structured questionnaire. Simple random sampling technique was applied to get response from engineering faculty members. They perceived that their information gathering and finding skills were good and they coped well with gathered information of their interest. Findings revealed that faculty members classified and sorted gathered information to re-find it latter. They also kept information that had potential to be useful in future. Respondents used different ways to re-find their saved information including keywords search, browse through folder structure, access through bookmark, and use of memory. It is noted that browsing information through folder names, and bookmarks were also a common practice among engineering faculty. Findings also revealed that there was statistically significant difference between male and female faculty members’ PIM practices. Faculty members perceived that they were skillful in finding information while they were less-proficient in organizing and re-finding information. Thus, they also have to face different types of challenges such as technology obsolescence, assessing future value of information, information fragmentation and memory load in remembering the location of information. The findings of engineering faculty members’ PIM practices have significant implications for faculty themselves, educational technologist, digital library developers, and educational policy makers.

(1980). </em><em>A representative sample of 400 (200 boys and 200 girls) Xth class students was drawn from schools located in the Hyderabad city using simple random sampling technique. </em><em>Descriptive, correlational and inferential statistics were used to compute correlations and to compare the means between the groups. Findings of the study revealed that (1) there is significant relationship between home environment, academic self-concept and career maturity of students. (2) there is significant difference between boys &amp; girls and rural &amp; urban in respect of their home environment, academic self- concept and career maturity and (3) there is significant difference between rural and urban students in respect of their home environment and career maturity, however insignificant difference is found in case of rural and urban on the measure of academic self- concept.</em><em> The above analysis suggests that career development of adolescents should be taken as a challenge not only by the adolescents themselves but also by educationists, psychologists and administrators to develop maturity in career decision and goal selection. They should be guided and trained to make congruence between career behaviour and his expected behaviour at that age. Lesser is the gap between the two greater is the maturity in the individuals’ career.</em></p></div>

School students need clear boundaries: boundaries that adults - parents as well as teachers - must set. We cannot abdicate our responsibility when students move outside those boundaries. To do that is to betray children, because the consequences of bad behaviour are so damaging It is the duty of the parents and teachers to create disciplinary awareness. The study aimed to examine the disciplinary awareness among secondary school students. The investigator adopted survey method to study the disciplinary awareness among school students. For this study a sample of 300 school students from 5 Govt and Private schools which are situated in and around Udumalpet town of Tirupur district in Tamil Nadu were selected by the investigator using simple random sampling technique.

       Optimization of rice productivity in paddy fields is one of the opportunities to increase national rice production. The not optimal productivity of rice in paddy fields, among others, is caused by various things, especially ethanol rice farming, which faces technical, social, and economic obstacles to develop a more profitable rice commodity. Fertilization management practices greatly affect productivity, if productivity is increased, resulting in higher income and enabling farmers to save and accumulate capital. The income earned by a farmer is the reward that the farming family receives from the use of production factors, labor, and capital invested in the business sector. This study aims to determine (i) the productivity of rainfed lowland rice farming, (ii) explicit costs, revenues, and income of rainfed lowland rice farming in Cempaka Village, Cempaka District, Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan Province. The research was conducted from March-May 2020. The method used in this study was a survey method with observational techniques, where the sampling technique was carried out by simple random sampling of 217 households taken 14% so that 30 respondents were obtained. The results showed that the productivity of rainfed lowland rice farming was 1,265.00 kg/respondent or 3.5 tons/ha. The average explicit cost is Rp. 1.751.506,83 / respondent or Rp. 4.865.296.74 / ha, the average revenue of Rp. 6.325.000 / respondent or Rp. 17.569.444,44 / ha and an average income of Rp. 4.573.493,17 / respondent or Rp. 12.704.147,71 / ha.

The essential of the study is the multiplying unfamiliarity of e-resources due to the let-down of electricity, which is a common problem in Palakkad area. Related other reasons are absence of time to utilize the I.T lab in time. The investigators and students from all disciplines are set to use e-Books in future. In order to build more teachers professional development and to improve the research practise they need in e-journals and e-books. The study aimed to examine the awareness on e-resources among B.Ed student teachers. The investigator adopted survey method to study the awareness on e-resources among B.Ed student teachers. For this study a sample of 200 B.Ed student teachers from three B.Ed training colleges which are situated in and around Palakkad district in Kerala selected by the investigator using simple random sampling technique. The findings reveal that there is no significant difference in the awareness of e-resources and e-resource technology among B.Ed Student Teachers.
