Woman in Beauvoir's Concept: A Feminist Reading

Damaru Chandra Bhatta — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of this paper is to present the French existentialist philosopher Simon de Beauvoir's feminist viewpoint against traditional patriarchy, which is a social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line. It also tries to present her traditional analysis how woman has been unreasonably victimized by man in the society. Beauvoir shows with great erudition that man's dominance has been secured through the ages by an ideological power; legislators, priests, scientists, and philosophers have all promoted the idea of woman's subordination. Hence, Beauvoir concludes that feminist must break this type of patriarchal power to change man at the level of theory, but without entering the theoretical domain on man's terms; however man and woman should live together for a happy life by enjoying equal right and power.

नेपाली भाषा शिक्षणमा शैक्षिक सामग्रीे प्रयोगको अध्ययन

कल्पना कुमारी Kalpana Kumari जाेशी Joshi — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

यो लेख ‘नेपाली भाषा शिक्षणमा शैक्षिक सामग्रीे प्रयोगको अध्ययन’ मा केन्दित छ । यसको उद्देश्य डोटी जिल्लाका विद्यालयमा दैनिक प्रयोजनका शैक्षिक सामग्री प्रयोगको स्थिति पत्ता लगाउनु, नेपाली भाषा शिक्षणमा विद्यागत शैक्षिक सामग्री प्रयोगको स्थिति पहिचान गर्नु र नेपाली भाषा शिक्षणमा शैक्षिक सामग्री प्रयोगका समस्या र समाधानका उपायबारे बिश्लेषण गर्नु रहेको छ । यसका लागि संभावनाविहीन अन्तरगतको उद्देश्यमुलक र सुविधामुलक विधिको प्रयोग गरी डोटी जिल्लाका ५ ओटा सरकारी र ५ओटा संस्थागत विद्यालयहरु छनोेट गरी, विद्यालयमा नेपाली भाषा शिक्षण गर्ने १० जना शिक्षकहरू र १० जना प्रधानाध्यापकहरु र प्रति विद्यालयबाट दश दश जना बिद्यार्थीहरुलाई अन्तवार्ता र छलफलमा समावेश गरिएको थियो । साथै कक्षा अवलोकन पनि गरिएको थियो । विद्यालयहरूमा दैनिक प्रयोगका शैक्षिक सामग्रीको प्रयोग प्रयाप्त गरेको छ भने विद्यालयमा भएका नेपाली भाषा शिक्षणका महत्वपूर्ण शैक्षिक सामग्री गोजीतालिका र फलाटिन पाटीको उपयोग न्यून गरिएको छ । स्थलगत अध्ययनको क्रममा केही विद्यालयमा शैक्षिक सामग्रीका रूपमा शब्दपत्ती, तस्वीर र वाक्यपत्ती प्रयोग गरिए पनि उक्त सामग्री बीचका र पछिल्ला बेन्चका विद्यार्थीहरूले पढ्न र बुझ्न सक्ने उपयुक्त आकारमा पाइएन । केही विद्यालयहरू आर्थिक समस्याको कारण शैक्षिक सामग्रीहरूको प्रबन्ध गर्न असमर्थ छन भने आर्थिक अवस्था राम्रो भएका विद्यालयहरू पनि इच्छा शक्तिको अभावको कारण शैक्षिक सामग्रीहरूको प्रबन्ध गर्न पछि परेका देखिन्छ । भाषा शिक्षणमा श्रव्यदृश्य सामग्री प्रयोग गरेर शिक्षण गर्दा उपयोगी हुन्छ तर यसतर्पm विद्यालयका प्रधानाध्यापक एवं भाषा शिक्षकहरूको ध्यान गएको छैन । शिक्षकहरू तालिम प्राप्त भएपनि तालिममा प्राप्त गरेको सैद्धान्तिक ज्ञान र व्यावहारिक सीपको प्रयोग कक्षा कोठामा गर्न उनीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा सफल नदेखिएको हुँदा अझै सामग्री सङ्कलन निर्माण र प्रयोग सम्बन्धमा उनीहरूलाई प्रोत्साहित गर्नु पर्ने देखिन्छ ।
