This paper develops a new technique to account for "false discoveries" or luck-driven significant performance estimates when evaluating the abilities of multiple mutual fund managers simultaneously. The technique estimates the proportion of funds with true zero alphas, without alphas, and with positive alphas. Applying this to a large dataset of US equity mutual funds, the analysis finds that 75.4% of funds have zero true alpha, 24.0% have negative alphas, and only 0.6% have positive alphas, suggesting very few truly skilled managers despite some funds appearing successful due to luck. This challenges previous work suggesting more widespread manager skill.Current cvmt.st.2[1][1]rev![Current cvmt.st.2[1][1]rev](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/currentcvmt-140101152409-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

Participatory Learning An Effective Strategy to Enhance Communicative Skills
Introduction
Language is essential for knowledge acquisition and effective communication across disciplines. Strong communicative skills are crucial for professional success. However, many students struggle with articulation despite having technical expertise. As Dale Carnegie put it, "Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you deliver it." This study explores participatory learning as a method to enhance communicative skills, particularly in technical education.
Motivation and Identified Gaps
Need for Enhanced Communication Skills
Technological advancements require students to develop adaptive communication skills. Employers look for technical proficiency alongside clarity, persuasion, and teamwork.

Lecture-based approaches limit interaction and practical application, hindering engagement, confidence, and critical thinking.
Impact of COVID-19
The pandemic underscored the need for effective online communication, making participatory learning more relevant.

This study aims to enhance English communicative competence through participatory learning by addressing:
1. How participatory learning impacts students' communication skills.
2. The influence on student confidence and engagement.
3. Challenges in implementation and solutions.

This document discusses the challenges of teaching English in Indian classrooms. It outlines that English is a global, job-seeking, and educational language in India.

Importance of Self-Directed Learningsarpparaje saravanan
油
This document discusses self-directed learning (SDL) as an effective method for second language acquisition. SDL requires learners to take initiative by setting goals, exploring study materials, implementing learning methods, and evaluating outcomes. It is not a new concept. Teachers can promote SDL by helping with the transition process, setting boundaries, teaching methodology, and directing materials. SDL places more responsibility on learners compared to traditional classrooms. Challenges are inevitable in the different learning environment of SDL. However, SDL allows learners to choose their subject of interest and learn for life.Recently uploaded (20)

Unpacking the Uncommon
- 1. UNPACKING THE UNCOMMON -Text Complexity Remover.
- 2. What constitutes a complex text? Complex text is typified by a combination of longer sentences, a higher proportion of lessfrequent words, and a greater number and variety of words with multiple meanings.
- 3. SAMPLE Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin, the country's paramount leader, cut short a trip to Siberia, returning to Moscow to oversee the federal response. Mr. Putin built his reputation in part on his success at suppressing terrorism, so the attacks could be considered a challenge to his stature
- 4. CHALLENGES OF COMPLEX TEXTS Overload - just too many to teach! Some are too big and some are too small. Some are too vague
- 5. AIM OF UNPACKING All students should understand (not just know and do) so that they can see the universal issues, patterns, and significance of what they are studying.
- 6. UNPACKING METHODS: Identify the Root word Identify Big Ideas Identify Concepts that are Important to Know and Do Determine What is Worth explanation Eliminate unnecessary linkers
- 7. Important to know & Do Big ideas Root concept Essential skill & knowledge Important points Root concept of the text at the heart of the subject
- 8. HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS: Read some shorter texts more closely and repeatedly Foster student confidence and independence by having students reread the passage. Use Questioning & Discussion in the Classroom.
- 9. Teachers are the Key Teachers must be the primary driving force behind change. They are best positioned to understand the problems of the text that students face and to generate possible solutions.
- 10. Outcomes Participants will increase their understanding of the process of unpacking Complex Texts, know the relationship among the process of unpacking and developing effective instruction, and consider how this information impacts their curriculum.
