1 TRANSFORMATION IN QUALITY HIGHER EDUCATION WITH RESPECT TO BLENDED LEARNING & FLIPPED LEARNING , Dr. Bhawna
Over the years, the vast development of video technologies has been incremental rise in new e-learning practices across all levels of the education spectrum and after COVID-19 the education was totally dependent on E-learning. While there are tons of e-learning models being tried around the globe, only two have seemingly managed to gain as much media attention and attraction in the education industry. Blended learning and flipped classroom are two alternative learning pedagogies that satisfy the twenty first century teach-savvy learners who would prefer active participation to passive listening while learning. Traditional classroom does not suit the present day generation of students who are not interested in print text books as the sole medium of learning. Western universities offer a no. of online courses that individual students across the world can complete according to their own pace. After COVID -19 it is necessary for India also to develop their E-learning. Although the terms blended learning and flipped classroom are presented with different meanings they actually have much in common. Blended learning is an educational strategy which combines the traditional classroom with online activities and finds its best application in flipped classroom where the responsibility for the teaching process is somehow transferred to that of the students who have direct access to the contents of the lessons before going to the school. This article explores the strengths and limitations of these approaches to teaching and learning of English as second language in the multilingual Indian context. Keywords: Blended Learning, Flipped Classroom.

4 STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING IN GENERAL EDUCATION IN A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IN MANILA: AN ANALYSIS , Rachelle Garcia, Dr. Renante Dante Tan, Dr. Josefina Florendo, Dr. Nemencio Santos
Transitioning from the traditional pedagogical norm to student-centered learning (SCL) is crucial to achieve the desired outcome. This is to produce graduates equipped with soft skills ready to face the life and global challenges of the 21 st century. This study provided the first tranche of evidence how the desired outcomes have been realized by the general education students through SCL. Opportunely, SCL was deemed to be harbinger of fundamental skills like collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, cognitive and self-directed learning, communication and digital literacy. In the light of positive results, SCL implementation has not reached its fullest efficiency more particularly in the environmental component to reap the best outcomes. Positive relationship findings between environmental, cognitive and behavioral component will provide avenue to hoist standard of SCL implementation. Hence, continuous exploration of other partakers, monitoring and quality improvement is recommended.

5 CORE THINKING SKILLS INCLUDED IN THE MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOK FOR THE INTERMEDIATE THIRD GRADE , Suhad Mahdi Farhan, Dr. Hassan Kamil Risen
The current research aimed to determine the extent to which core thinking skills are included in the mathematics textbook for the intermediate third grade of the academic year (2019-2020) by answering the main research question: What thinking skills are included in the mathematics textbook for the intermediate third grade? The descriptive analytical method was used in this study. The research sample consisted of the mathematics textbook for the intermediate third grade. To achieve research objective, a list of the main core thinking skills and their sub-skills was prepared, and then the textbook was analyzed according to these skills. The reliability of results was verified through applying test-retest and inter-rater methods. The reliability value was greater than 86 % using Holsti equation. The research found the inclusion of all of the main core thinking skills in the textbook. The sequence of these skills was as follows: first, organizing skills by (25.4%); second, generation skills by (20.5%); third, analyzing skills by (16.8%); followed by remembering skills by (11.5%); then evaluating skills by (8.6%); integration skills by (7.6%); focusing skills by (6.7%); and finally, information gathering skills by (2.5%).
