Foreword
RESEARCH HORIZON
Teaching and Research are found to be inseparable and mutually supportive to each other. Research makes
learners achievement oriented. Every professor is to act like a scientist, in search of new knowledge. They
should be encouraged to build a research team consisting of UG and PG students along with lab assistants.
Institutions must change their culture in favour of research. Research brings more money, more endowments,
nameandfamefor institution.
Research and Education are like two ends of a bow. The arrow does not move forward unless the two ends of
the bow are tightly tied together by a string. Neither end has a force without the support of other. An institution
needs to bind the two ends together, namely education and research to provide quality education. There is a
saying that Research and Innovation plays important role in improving the quality of teacher educators.
Though research is not limited to scholars or academicians, it is scholarly activity and not so simple.
Researchers require certain skills, capacities, competencies which will be built in teacher educators.
Research can be used as a tool for personality development. Marityn Chochran from U.K. in 2007 identified
four metaphors for research in the context of teacher education such as Research as a weapon, Research as
warranty, Research as Foundation and Research as a Stance. Thus research capacity building creates a
culture to enhance professional practice in teacher educators which contributes to enhance professionalism
of teacher.
It is necessary to develop a research attitude among the teachers. There are various ways for developing
research attitude e.g. through research degrees, publishing research papers, research articles, organizing
various seminars, conferences, refresher course, workshops etc. One is to write research papers and articles
topublish thesein various nationalandinternationalresearchjournals.
From a study conducted in the U.K., Swan and Brown (1999) found that authors tended to consider firstly the
reputation of the journal by using the impact factor, followed by international reach and coverage by
abstracting and indexing services. They also found that scientists are much more concerned about the
availability of anelectronicversion of thejournalthanareworkers in thearts.
It is extremely important to create opportunities for mentoring of researchers by senior scholars from India and
abroad through discussions / participation in conferences in India and abroad. To discuss new ideas and
discover fresh perspectives in existing and past issues, it is essential that research institutes and higher
education institutions, in collaboration with certain policy think tank organize discussion forums and
conferences. Such events always foster knowledge exchange and allow research culture to be fostered, since
research papers and empirical analyses are share and disseminated. It also allows free-flow of questioning
and critique of concepts which enhance research quality of potential researchers. Keeping these points in
mind, some of the research papers presented in our college during the International Conference on 'Tourism'
nd
and 2 International Conference on Humanities and Sciences on 'Emerging Trends in Multiculturalism' at Bali-
Indonesiahavebeenincludedin this journal.
We extend our gratitude towards the research paper contributors, our panel of Experts, Senior Editor, Editorial
and Advisory Board and Managing Editorial Team. We congratulate the contributors of papers / articles for
passing throughthetestof editorial reviewboard.
We are thankful to Shri. Chandrasen Merchant for generously supporting us financially for last fourteen years.
Without this moral support and active encouragement, it would not be possible for our team to bring out such
an intellectually enriching publication. We specially thank our Managing Trustees and other members for
being constantsourceof motivationfor us.
With warm regards
