مولانا رشید احمد صاحب سالم انصاری
ماہ گزشتہ کا سب سے بڑا علمی حادثہ جناب مولانا رشید احمد صاحب سالم انصاری کی وفات ہے، مرحوم نے تقریباً بیس پچیس برس مسلسل ہماری زبان کی خدمت کی۔ عربی و فارسی کے وہ لائق ادیب تھے، ان کا علمی شوق و ذوق فطری تھا۔ ان کی زندگی کا اکثر حصہ مطالعہ اور کتب بینی میں صرف ہوتا تھا، قلمی کتابوں کی تلاش اور جستجو میں انہوں نے ہندوستان کا گوشہ گوشہ چھان ڈالا تھا۔ آخر میں ذی الحجہ ۱۳۴۰ھ میں جب علی گڑھ میں خاکسار اُن سے ملنے گیا تو ان کو بستر مرگ پر پایا اور یہی ان کا مرض الموت تھا، اس عالم میں بھی جتنی دیر ان کے پاس بیٹھنے کا اتفاق ہوا وہ علمی تذکرے کرتے رہے اور جہانگیر نامہ کے ایک قلمی نسخہ کو بڑی محنت سے ترتیب دیا تھا، اس کی اشاعت کا تذکرہ کرتے رہے۔ اردو مترجمات میں المدینۃ والاسلام، النصرانیۃ والاسلام، کتاب التوحید، الفوز الکبیر، وغیرہ مفید تالیفات یادگار چھوڑی ہیں، ترک موالات کے سلسلہ میں مرحوم علی گڑھ کالج چھوڑ کر جامعہ ملیہ میں چلے آئے تھے اور یہیں سے رخصت ہوئے، خدا مغفرت ارزائی فرمائے۔

Social Studies is the integration of the Social Sciences and Humanities in order to promote competence in students. It enables learners to become useful citizens of the society. However, the teaching and learning of such an important subject is not satisfactorily addressed in our schools for various reasons; mainly teachers tend to rely on teaching in a traditional manner. It is perceived that teachers are knowledge givers, while students are recipients of that knowledge, and hence, the children's conceptual understanding in the subject doesn't get developed. Considering that this subject prepares children to become informed citizens, it is necessary that constructive methods and strategies should be introduced in schools for teaching Social Studies. Literature also supports innovative ideas and strategies such as discovery, problem-solving, project-based and web-based teaching and learning in order to enhance students' thinking skills and conceptual understanding. The study was undertaken in a grade seven Social Studies classroom in a private school in Karachi. The methodology used was action research as this is a practitioner's research, which enables the researcher to study the implementation of inquiry through approach using web-resources in the teaching of Social Studies. As a part of methodology, I engaged in the reconnaissance stage and made a general plan of action for carrying out the study. The cycle of action research contained; planning, action, observation and reflection. The data was collected through classroom observations, field notes, and semi-structured interviews. The findings of the study revealed that students when involved in the process of inquiry began participating actively in the lessons. Furthermore, a shift was observed in students from their dependency on textbook to independent searching and collecting information from the internet. It also provided students the opportunity of developing their communication and information-seeking skills and increased their motivation. Students were seen constructing their own knowledge, which facilitates teaching and learning in Social Studies classroom.
