METODE PARTISIPATIF, CERAMAH, DAN DISKUSI PADA AL QURAN SURAT AS-SHAFFAT AYAT 102

This research is motivated by a phenomenon of poor communication between parents and children. In the world of education, there was a lack of approaches and methods used by educators in providing subject matter so that what was delivered by the educator did not achieve the expected goals. The problem in this research is how the participatory methods, lectures and discussions contained in the As-Shaffat letter verse 102. The purpose is to describe the educational methods contained in the As-Shaffat letter verse 102 in the form of participatory methods, lecture methods and discussion methods. This research is a Library Research. The method of interpretation used in this study is the method of interpretation of maudhu 'or thematic methods which interpret verses of the Qur'an based on specific themes. The method used in the explanation of the verse is the method of tahlili or analysis that explains the verses of the Qur'an by examining its aspects and revealing its whole purpose. The results of study and analysis, as well as data processing from various sources, obtained the first result that the educational method contained in the As-Shaffat verse 102 is a participatory method used by educators, which involves all elements in the educational process especially students, with active participation from participants students will facilitate educators in delivering the material to be given. Both lecture methods, in conveying information, especially learning materials can be done with the lecture method. An educator prioritizes good attitudes so that the material can be accepted by students. The third method of discussion is to involve students in giving their opinions. With the discussion in learning, the lessons will become warmer and will train students to be more courageous in opinion.

Comparative Study of Ctenoid Scales, Frequency Distribution Pattern and Length-Weight Relationships in Teraponid Spp. Family: Teraponidae of Karachi Coast Fish Harbours, Pakistan

This dissertation is based on the comparative study of ctenoid scales, frequency distribution pattern and length-weight relationships of Teraponid species of the family Teraponidae. For this purpose, 1304 specimens of family Teraponidae were collected during January 2013 to December 2014 from commercial landings at Karachi Fish Harbour. Three species of family Teraponidae (Terapon jarbua, T. puta and T. theraps) were investigated from the samples. The results of statistical analysis of selected parameters of ctenoid scales (i.e., length of scale and width, radius, horizontal and vertical row of ctenii and number of radii) of Teraponid species proved the significance of scales in correct identification of Teraponid species. The results of linear relationship and principal component analysis-PCA of selected scale parameters shows the significance of selected scale parameters in fish identification. The frequency distribution pattern of Teraponid species was recorded as 51.84% for T. jarbua and 47.70% for T. puta in total catches during the study period (January 2013 to December 2014). The occasional catch of T. theraps shows the absence of this species in commercial catches of Karachi coast. The population parameters of Teraponid species indicates a risk of over exploitation of these species at Karachi coast, Pakistan. Results for length-weight relationships shows that the value of regression coefficient (b) was closer to the ideal value i.e. b=3 hence shows the isometric growth in T. jarbua however, T. puta indicates a positive allometric growth pattern (b>3). The results of condition factor and relative condition factor indicated the good health of Teraponid species. The Macroscopic examination of male and female gonads and gonadosomatic index confirms that T. jarbua has two spawning period from April to August and November while, T. puta has a prolonged spawning period with two distinct peaks in April and November. The results for sex ratio illustrate that females were more numerous than males in both Teraponid species (i.e., T.jarbua and T. puta).
