School plays an important role in character building and building of all types of concepts, including inculcating environmental values and ethics in students through education. The aim of the proposed study was to evaluate the environmental awareness among students studying in grade fourth and fifth in Government Primary School (GPS) of Sagar city, Madhya Pradesh. An Environment Awareness Test (EAT) was designed from environmental education text book running in the Government schools, it was administered on 110 students; (Grade 4 th-54 and 5 th-56) in order to measure the environmental cognitive ability (ECA) of the student"s. Independent T Test, AMOS and other statistical measures were used to analyse the data. Item wise analyses were used for analysing other facts related to environmental issues. The result reveals the facts related to various environmental issues in context to cognitive ability. The study will provide suggestions to the academicians, environmentalists and government so that they will incorporate these ideas in order to innervate students towards environmental consciousness. The study is highly original; innovative especially it is an effort to correlate cognitive ability with environmental awareness.

The study investigated the effect of usage of Teaching Learning Material (TLM) of Sampark on pupil's achievement in mathematics. The Study selected the sample from Grade Two students studying in Government Primary School, Bhimtal Block of Nainital District, Uttarakhand, India. The study named this pedagogy as Sampark means in-contact. Contact between students and between student and a teacher. Sampark pedagogy aims to develop sense of ideas, so that students work both independently and collaboratively. Sampark promotes to work with the partners in small groups. The teacher is responsible for ensuring that students understand the concepts of mathematics by contacting with each individual group and clarifying their doubts and insist them to solve their problems. Students play the participant role which includes; listening, writing, responding, questioning, work actively in group and critical assessment. The proposed study used two different types of tools; Diagnostic Tool as Pre Test and Endline Tool as Post Test for studying the effectiveness of Sampark Pedagogy. The Diagnostic Tool was administered between Aug-Sept 2016 and End Line Tool was administered from February-April 2017. 'Paired T Test' is used for analysing the assessment result in order to study the effectiveness of Pedagogy in teaching mathematics. The study is highly original; innovative especially it is an effort, to make teaching and learning process more pragmatic and result oriented.
