1	{tooltip}Hypotheses and its Testing{end-texte}Abstract – A statistical hypothesis test is a method of making decisions using data from a scientific study. In statistics, a result is called statistically significant if it has been predicted as unlikely to have occurred by chance alone, according to a pre-determined threshold probability, the significance level. The phrase “test of significance” was coined by statistician Ronald Fisher. These tests are used in determining what outcomes of a study would lead to a rejection of the null hypothesis for a pre-specified level of significance; this can help to decide whether results contain enough information to cast doubt on conventional wisdom, given that conventional wisdom has been used to establish the null hypothesis. The critical region of a hypothesis test is the set of all outcomes which cause the null hypothesis to be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Statistical hypothesis testing is sometimes called confirmatory data analysis, in contrast to exploratory data analysis, which may not have pre-specified hypotheses. Statistical hypothesis testing is a key technique of frequentist inference. Here the author of this article wants to introduce the testing of hypotheses.{end-tooltip}	Dr. Nilesh Gajjar

5	{tooltip}A Study of the Views of Teacher Educators about Education of Spirituality among B.Ed. Trainees{end-texte}Abstract – When we think of sustainable society, we think in terms of a culture of peace, economic justice, respect for nature, welfare of all, acceptance of divine brother hood. The limitations of the formal education system make us find out a vehicle to reach to destination and the vehicle is none other than spirituality. Spiritual intelligence gives us our integrity. It is the intelligence of deep self. It is the intelligence which asks fundamental questions and with the help of which we reframe our answers. Spiritual intelligence enables a person to understand the deeper meaning in life, the ultimate purpose of our existence. These questions are important as they determine our behaviour and our interactions with society. The B.Ed. trainees are the teachers of tomorrow. Do they need to be taught about spirituality? The researcher tried to find out the views of the teacher educators about the importance of education of spirituality among B.Ed. trainees. A self-made interview schedule was used. The items of the interview schedule included the questions on the concept of spirituality, why is the education of spirituality necessary among B.Ed. trainees, how will it be beneficial to society, etc. 15 teacher educators from Mehsana City were selected as sample. They were consulted and their responses were noted down. Qualitative analysis of the responses of was carried out and findings were drawn out. Most of the teacher educators were of the view that spiritual intelligence helps a person to understand his/her position as a relative being in the universe. It gives true meaning to life. Teachers are the makers of nation. So, they must be spiritually intelligent. If we want to create value based society, the trainees must have sound knowledge of spirituality. The spiritual teachers will be able to carry out their task in a far better way. In today’s materialistic world, spirituality gives peace of mind. To nourish values among students, it is inevitable that the B.Ed. trainees are taught some lessons of spirituality.{end-tooltip}	Dr. Ashok S. Thakkar

8	{tooltip}Social Interaction Model{end-texte}Abstract – Models of Teaching have been defined in a number of ways. Some of the important definitions of teaching models are given here to have a wider perspective of this concept. Allen and Rayn (1969): Modeling is an individual demonstrating particular pattern which the trainee learns through imitation. Baundura (1969): Modeling demonstrates that virtually all learning phenomena resulting from direct experiences can occur on a vicarious basis through observation of other person’s behavior and its consequences for them B.K. Passi L.C. Singh and D.N. Sanasnwal (1991): A model of teaching consists of guidelines for designing educational activities and environments. Model of teaching is a plan that can also be utilized to shape courses of studies to design instructional material and to guide instruction. Educators and psychologist have designed several types of teaching models which provide suitable guidelines to the teachers for modifying the behavior of the learners.{end-tooltip}	Bhavin H. Patel

9	{tooltip}A Study of Risk Taking Behaviour of Adolescent Students in Relation to Emotional Intelligence{end-texte}Abstract – The present study is conducted on risk taking behaviour of adolescent student in relation to emotional intelligence considering the assumption that emotional intelligence can help students to take risks that lead to intellectual growth. Two hundred students studying in senior secondary classes of Palanpur city constituted the sample for the study. Tool prepared by Dr. Y.K Gupta was used for measuring risk taking behaviour and emotional intelligence. Product moment coefficients of correlation were calculated to test the hypotheses. The results of the study reveal that there is positive relationship between emotional intelligence and risk taking behaviour of adolescent boys were as girls contradict that result. Result also shows that students having high emotional intelligence are high risk takers where as average and low emotionally intelligent students are showing no risk taking behaviour in learning environment.{end-tooltip}	Dr. Sureshchandra R.
