Yet after 50 years of independence, just one perusal of the female infant mortality figures, the literacy rates and the employment opportunities for women is sufficient evidence that discrimination exists. Almost predictably, this gender, bias is evident in our political system as well. In the 13th Lok Sabha, there were only 43 women MPs out of total of 543; it is not a surprising figure, for never has women's representation in Parliament been more than 10 per cent. Historically, the manifestos of major political have always encouraged women's participation. It has been merely a charade. So, women's organizations, denied a place on merit, opted for the last resort; a reservation of seats for women in parliament and State Assemblies. Parties, which look at everything with a vote bank in mind, seemed to endorse this. Alas, this too was a mirage. But there is another aspect also. At a time when caste is the trump card, some politicians want the bill to include further quotas fro women from among minorities and backward castes. There is more to it. A survey shows that there is a general antipathy towards the bill. It is actually a classic case of doublespeak: in public, politicians were endorsing women's reservation but in the backrooms of Parliament, they were busy sabotaging it. The reasons are clear: Men just don't want to vacate their seats of power.

TEACHING APTITUDE Teaching is a complex process which brings socially desirable behavioural change in a person. Teaching is a part ofteaching-learning process. It is required to bring certain changes in a person according to the need of his society and environment in which he is living. 'Teaching is not an act as it is dynamic in nature so it is termed as process. It is also not a fundamental concept as it is greatly influenced by social and human factors.

Teachlng is both artan,d science. It is an ' activity involving teacher and student with a view to the development of student. The main aim of teaching is to bring about socially desirable behavioural changes in the students and can be achieved only if teaching is effective and based on certain values or principles. Teaching is one of the main parts of the teaching-learning system. So effective teaching is mostly depending on the teacher. It is a common fact that a good teacher is born and not made. Training and research can make a good teacher better and a better teacher best. Teacher should follow various methods of teaching devised from time to time. A teacher encourages the practice of thinking among students. Teacher should give to the students the' freedom and opportunity to express their ideas. . Teaching is required to give education to the students. Edl,lcation may be defined as the process of drawing out least in an individual. We can define education as "the aggregate of all processes by means of which a person develops attributes, attitudes and other forms of behaviour of positive value in the society in 'which he lives". We can also define it as "the 'social process by which people are subjecte.d to tHe influence of a selected and controlled environment, so that they may attain social competence and optimum individual development" . The complete process of education must contain four common factors (i) Educator (teacher) (ll) Educand (Student) (iii) the subject matter (iv) the context (setting). Now, education is the proces~ of developi~g some abilities in an individual. Though abilities are in'born quality, it is also a fact that these can be nurtured and developed in an educand through various means by a n educator. Education must also be relevant and useful to the society in which educand has to live. Since 'every individual is unique in their own way, th~ educator has to adopt strategies and methods

suitabl~ to i~dividual needs. Educati~n II,u-J-st also be productive. The educational productivity (rate of efficiency of work) can be classified as .qualitative and quantitative. For better education both qualitative and quantitative productivity is required. Quality means here the excellence in the part of textbook, teachets students's aids, facilities and other teaching aids where as quantity refers the number of teachers, institutions, professionals, etc. Education and teaching are interrelated. Education is a complex social cultural and ethical process designed in a social or cultural content. It is related with social structures, cultural environments, values, and ideas of people, society and government. All these . factors are dynamic in nature. So teaching is also a dynamic process and its definition changes according to place and t ime . Morrison defines it as a disciplined social process in which teacher influences the behaviours of the less experienced pupil and helps him develop according to the needs and ideas ofthe society. Smith termed it as an organised system of worker. He/she must have proper guts to lead specific activities aimed to help the learner learn by an example at a superior level as he is the something. leader of his pupil. He/she has to exercise An analytical approach makes it clear that neGe!?.ary influence for bringing the .desired neither of the definition fulfils the purpose. . modification in behaviour.

A and development of the other person who comes teacher cannot be regarded only as a skilled in contact with him. There are four dimensions associated with a teacher, his competence, efficacy, enthusiasm and morale. Teacher's competence : Teacher's competence has been defined as the e~tent to which the teacher has t~ relevant subje~t matter and the pedagogical experties needed to impart the curriculum effectively. Teacher's efficacy: It IS defined as the self belief in his capacity of doing what is expected from them.

Teacher's enthusiasm: A teacher must be very enthusiastic. Teacher's Morale : It is very important in maintaining balance in the classroom interaction. The various factors contributed to the morale are psychological well being, self esteem; commitment to a cause. Knowledge and identification with the organisational goal. The teachers morale is a combination of psychological, physiological and environmental cause. These four factors 'are seen in process of effective classroom interaction. CLASSROOM INTERACTION : The classroom interaction between a student ~nd a teacher is completely based on the climate created by teacher. He should be able to bring the blendiness of friendship with a definite degree of firmness. The interaction must be smooth and pleasant without any friction for a complete:and fruitful teaching learning process. Normally, verbalism' goes on in the name of teaclfing. Students are merely expected to listen to th~ explanation and lectures. This is known as direct teaching. The effectiveness of direct teaching has been questioned many times and it is found that this type of teaching is not very effective one. For effective teaching the active , participation of students IS very important. This participation IS done through the classroom interaction. 'This interaction consist of thier explanations and lectures with students , suggestions, ideas concepts, and questions,etc. These activ:ities of students make important for making teaching learning process effective, democratic and friendly. Interaction is required for the rectification of the drawbacks of direct teaching. This interactive teaching is known as indirect teaching. Through the interaction; the teacher analyses the capacity and tequirement of students and can bring subsequent changes in their behaviour according to the requirement and can also change way of teaching. I One of the most important thing ill classroom interaction is the communication. Communication

will be learned in UNIT-IV in details. SUBJECT MATTER : It is also known as curriculum. Curriculum is a "general overall plan of the content or specific material of instruction, that an educational institution should offer to the student by way of qualifying him for graduation or certification". It is also a body of prescribed educational experience under an institutional supervision, designed to provide an individual with the best possible training and experience to fit him foy the society of which he/she is a part, or to qualify him for a trade or profession. It is also defined as "a subject matter, instructional materials, situations o~ experience that may , help to develop understanding, skills, appreciation and attitudes". , Curriculum should be logical, . psychological and according to the needs of the pupil and also the society. It should be objective in approach. Curriculum can be of two types: (i) Teacher oriented curriculum :''In this type of 'curriculum the process of selection of materials content is based on the needs-of the instructor/teacher. The teacher is proficient in , his particular field and is considered superior. (ii) Child/student orient~d cu~riculum : A curriculum in which the criteria for the selection. and sequence of material, activities and experiences for any particular pupil are the needs, maturity, interests and experiential backgrounds ofthe individual child. In our country the NCERT is the main institution authorised for making curriculum. Every state has . his own curriculum making bodies known as SCERT.Some 'states follows the NCERT curriculum. All schools affliated uses. This is the most important step of -teaching learning process. the CBSE boards generally follow NCERT curriculum. At higher _level every university make their own curriculum according to the guidelines of University Grant Commission which acts for the uniformity in curriculum at higher level in our country.

QUALITIES OF TEACHER CONTEXT (SETTING) : Previously schools were not designed to successfully teach all . students. Nowadays their motto have been changed. Their nE;W motto is 'DO LEARN'.

According to a United Nations Environment Programme report, a deadly three kilometre deep blanket of pollution comprising a fearsome cocktail of ash, acids, aerosols and other particles has enveloped this region. For India, already struggling to cope with a drought, the implication of this are devastating and further crop failure will amount to a life and death question for many lndians. The increase in premature deaths will have adverse social and economic consequences and a rise in morbidities will place an unbearable burden on our crumbling health system. And there is no one to blame but ourselves. Both official and corporate India has always been allergic to any mention of clean technology. Most mechanical two wheelers roll of the assembly line without proper pollution control system. Little effort is made for R&D on simple technologies, which could make a vital difference to peoples lives and the environment. However, while there is no denying that South Asia must clean up its act, skeptics might question the timing of the haze report. The Kyoto

meet on climate change is just two weeks away and the stage is set for the usual battle between the developing world and the West, particularly the Unites States of America. President Mr. Bush has adamantly refused to sign any protocol, which would mean a change in American consumption level. U.N. environment report will likely find a place in the arsenal as it plants an accusing finger towards controls like india and China. Yet the U.S.A. can hardly deny its own dubious role in the matter of erasing trading quotas. Richer countries can simply buy up excess credits from poorer countries and continue to pollute. Rather than try to get the better of developing countries, who undoubtedly have taken up environmental shortcuts in their bid to catch up with the West, the USA should take a look at the environrnental profligacy, which is going on within. From opening up virgin territories for oil exploration to relaxing the standards for drinking water, Mr, Bushs policies are not exactly beneficial, not even to Americas interests. We realize that we are all in this together and that pollution anywhere should be a global concern otherwise there will only be more tunnels at the end of the tunnel. ll.
