Zoology is a subfield of biology that focuses on the study of different species within the animal kingdom as well as animal life in general. Both the study of individual animals and their component components, down to the molecular level, as well as the study of animal populations, whole faunas, and the interactions of animals with one another, plants, and the nonliving environment, are included in this field of study. The conceptual integration that has taken place in the contemporary study of living things over the past few years has placed more of an emphasis on the structural and functional unity of life rather than on the diversity of life.

The global economy, politics, and society are all undergoing rapid transformations. Therefore, we may expect no letup in activity over the next decade. The definitions of both teaching and learning have evolved along with the school system and the world beyond its walls. The dynamic between educator and student is more intricate and demanding now than ever before. This expanded conception of the teacher's function has prompted a rethinking of the traditional methods of teaching educators. That's why we think of teacher education as an ongoing cycle that starts with pre-service preparation and continues throughout the teacher's career with periodic and sustained in-service sessions. Educators...
Teachers deal with difficult decisions on daily basis that may have far-reaching effects on their pupils' futures and that need a wide range of expertise and discretion. Teachers must be aware of the different ways in which student learning might unfold in context of development, student diversity, linguistic and cultural influences, plus individual temperaments, interests, and approaches to learning in order to make appropriate decisions for their students. Teachers need to know how to obtain more information that will enable them to make extra grounded judgements regarding what is going on and what tactics may be useful, in addition to having fundamental knowledge about the domains of lear...
The term "Educational Psychology" is made up of the two words "Psychology" and "Education." Educational psychology is the branch of psychology that applies the principles of the discipline to the area of education in order to improve students' social skills and alter their behaviour. Crow & Crow state that from infancy to old age, an individual's learning experiences are described and explained by Educational Psychology. Based on Skinner's definition, Educational Psychology is "that field of Psychology which concerns with teaching and learning." The contributions of educational psychology to educational theory and practise are the focus of this work. The challenge of dealing with students' individual characteristics is one that every educator must face. The aim of this section is to provide a working unit of educational psychology. Meaning and characteristics of Educational Psychology are defined. The nature and significance of learning have also been attempted to be described.

My life loves doing everything abruptly. The name is Sakuya Sutcliffe, and I’ve been that person for only a particular thirteen years of my life. For those thirteen years, my life was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. But one Christmas-Eve, it decided to take a ride. A terrifying, unpleasant and mysterious ride. The ride made me go through situations I’d normally be clumsy and hesitant about going through. Situations that made me doubt myself and even lose myself. It threw question after question at me. It questioned who I was and why I was who I was. But above all, it asked me to make critical decisions. Decisions regarding the safety of the ones I loved and myself. So this is the story of me accepting myself as someone who I never thought I’d be.
