However, the system itself is grappling with a number of challenges related to expansion, excellence and equity. Distance learning holds immense prospects to the 1.59 crore of the Indian populace, who fall under the student category. Offering readily accessibility, flexibility in learning and affordability compared to regular colleges, distance education institutions are the channel for the mass to earn a working status and the better financial status. Distance education has proved to be a blessing for many aspirants seeking to upgrade their educational qualification for achieving higher education, career enhancement or just for the sake of updation of knowledge. While distance education has by and large benefitted working professionals but now students and even house wives are not far behind. Has the concept of distance education not come into existence, lakhs of students who wished to pursue higher education would have been rendered educationless. This would have shattered their dreams of achieving education despite facing constraints like full time job, family life, financial limitations and many more. Distance learning has provided an excellent platform to students for learning at their own convenience and at their own pace. In this rapidly changing system of learning, if you are working and need a good degree as well as specialized knowledge to enhance your career then distance education can surely be your cup of tea. It is in this backdrop that the University of Kashmir established the Directorate of Distance Education in 1976 with a vision to reach the unreached and to impart education in different disciplines through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode. The directorate aspire to attain the status of an internationally reputed institution of excellence in teaching, research and extension. The Communications–an official publication of the Directorate of Distance Education, is a well recognized journal of research and scholarship in the field of education. Established with the mission of disseminating information about research and scholarship in India, the Journal seeks to bridge and integrate the intellectual, methodological and substantive diversity of educational scholarship and to encourage a vigorous dialogue between educational scholars and practitioners. Although the Journal has a specific academic position, it also seeks to foster multi- disciplinary research and collaboration among educationists, academicians, philosophers, psychologists and administrators. The main aim of the Journal is to disseminate scholarly works and information useful to researchers and practitioners in the field of education. Due to huge response from the contributors, I am pleased to introduce two issues for Vol. 21, with a view to reach to a worldwide audience. I appreciate and congratulate the editorial board, the contributors of articles and all others involved directly or indirectly in this excellent intellectual exercise and wish that the journal becomes the best medium for scholarly work in the field of education and research. Habibullah Shah Editor THE COMMUNICATIONS Vol. 21, No. 1 (2012) A STUDY OF STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENTS, MOTIVATION AND SELF PERCEPTION VIS-A-VIS TEACHER EXPECTATIONS IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF DELHI Savita Kaushal* ABSTRACT The future of young children is in the hands of teachers and many of the teachers may be unaware of the importance of their expectations. The purpose of this paper is to explore and describe how teachers in Private School settings in Delhi attempt to communicate their expectations to students to help them develop positive self perception. It seeks to identify whether they believe these expectations affect student achievement, and what motivational strategies these teachers use to enhance their students’ learning. This paper is based on a qualitative study theoretically informed by phenomenological hermeneutic inquiry. Data were collected using in-depth semi-structured open-ended interviews and results were critically analyzed and interpreted hermeneutically.
