سکھر جیل کی 48سینٹی گریڈ کی گرمی میں پھٹ چکی جلد ،پھنسیوں سے بھر چکے جسم ،کان کے شدید انفیکشن میں مبتلا نصرت بھٹو کی پنکی (بے نظیر) جو پیلے گدلے پانی سے پیاس بجھانے کی ناکام کوشش کرتی رہتی ہے اسے ماں اپنی قید سے اس کی قید میں خط بھیجتی ہے …
میری بہت ہی پیاری پنکی !
دن میں تین چار مرتبہ اپنے جسم پر پانی ڈالوتا کہ حدت کم محسوس ہو ۔اس کو آزمائو ،میں بھی سر جھکا کر گردن کے پیچھے اور سر کے اوپر پانی کے مگ ڈالتی ہوں ۔پھر پنکھے کے نیچے بستر پر لیٹ جاتی ہوں ۔اس طرح کپڑے خشک ہونے تک بہت ٹھنڈک نصیب ہوتی ہے ۔اس طریقے سے پھنسیوں سے بھی حفاظت رہتی ہے ۔یہ شاندار نسخہ ہے ۔میں اس کی پرزور سفارش کرتی ہوں ۔
پیار کے ساتھ
تمہاری ممی
Objective: The objective of the study is to explore the relationship between body image, self-esteem and academic behavior amongst adolescent girls living in Karachi, Pakistan and simultaneously explore the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship of the other two variables. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study design with a sample size of 400 adolescent girls belonging to a selected community of Karachi, Pakistan. Pre-validated tools, Body Shape Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Academic Behavior Scale were used for data collection of the study. The data was then analyzed using SPSS 17. Results: The results proved significant associations between all three variables with p<0.05. Moreover, a partially mediating role of self-esteem was noticed to be causing 74.8% variation in the relationship between body image and academic behavior. Conclusion: As per the study findings, body image, self-esteem and academic behavior of adolescent girls residing in Karachi, Pakistan are associated with each other. It was also concluded that higher body image dissatisfaction may lead to poor self-esteem which in turn negatively impacts the positive academic behavior of the girls. Hence, representing a mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship. Overall, parents, educators, academic professionals, counselors and healthcare professionals can benefit from the study findings to positively play their parts in improving the lives of adolescents around them.
The purpose of this study was to enhance the role of subject coordinators through using Appreciative Inquiry (AI) in a private secondary school of District Thatta. For this purpose, the study initially exploring the subject coordinators' existing roles (perceived and enacted) in relation to facilitating teachers' classroom practices. The study highlights how AI can be used to enhance the roles of subject coordinators, and what are the processes, outcomes, potential and challenges of doing so. For intervention, this study focused on one aspect of the role of subject coordinators i.e. observing classrooms and giving feedback to teachers to improve the teaching learning practices. In general, classroom observation and feedback method .focuses on the problem based approach of giving feedback, where problems, gaps or weaknesses are identified to then solve them. This method of classroom observation and giving feedback highlights the weaknesses and ignores the strengths and positive aspects of teachers. On the contrary, AI is a new approach for change that focuses on strengths and life giving aspects in people and the organization, based on a simple assumption that every organization has something that is working well. AI begins by identifying what is positive and connecting to it in ways that heighten energy and vision for change (Cooperrider, 1987). Embedded within the qualitative research paradigm, the study employed participatory action research (PAR), using an appreciative lens/ approach, and consisting of pre intervention, intervention and post intervention stages. Classroom observation, field notes, reflective conversations, reflective journals, observations, interviews, etcetera were some of the tools used to generate and collect data. The findings show that a positive and strength based focus was helpful to enhance teachers' self esteem and self confidence. Encouraging and facilitative role of the subject coordinators helped in enhancing the creative skills of the teacher and empowering them to use alternate approaches in their teaching. The study also highlights the significant impact that use of AI has had on subject coordinators' personal and professional lives and practices; for example, they used AI to not only provide strength based feedback, but also to develop strength based school development plan, and strength based individual educational plan for special need students.
