سیاسی نظام کی حیثیت سے اگر ہم غور کریں تو یہ کہہ سکتے ہیں کہ قومیت غیر انسانی اقدار
پر مشتمل ہے۔ اس کی وجہ سے اک انسانی گروہ دوسرے انسانی گروہ سے کٹ کر رہ جاتا ہے۔ اس سے دشمنیاں جنم لیتی ہیں۔ بعض اوقات قتل و غارت کا باعث بنتی ہے۔ قیمتی جانوں کا ضیاع ہوتا ہے۔ اقبال نے دنیائے اسلام کے لیے اسے خاص طور پر نہایت خطر ناک مغربی حربہ کی حیثیت سے دیکھا۔
اقبال نے قومیت کے مغربی تصور کے مقابلے میں ملت اسلامیہ کا تصور پیش کیا اور ثابت کیا کہ مسلمانان عالم کے لیے بنیادی نظریات و اعتقادات کی رو سے ایک وسیع تر ملت کاتصور ہی درست ہے۔ اقبال قوم اور ملت کو مترادف الفاظ میں استعمال کرتے تھے اور مسلمان قوم سے ان کی مراد ہمیشہ ملت اسلامیہ ہوتی تھی۔ اقبال قومیت کے اس تصور کے خلاف تھے جس کی بنیاد رنگ ونسل، زبان یا وطن پر ہو کیونکہ یہ پابندیاں ایک وسیع انسانی برادری قائم کرنے میں رکاوٹ بنتی ہیں۔ پروفیسر عبد الحق کہتے ہیں۔
”اقبال نے انسان کش قومیت کی مخالفت کی ہے جس کی حیثیت علاقائی ، جغرافیائی
اور سیاسی ہے۔ وہ قومیت کو پیدائش کے دوگز زمین میں محدود نہیں رکھنا چاہتے بلکہ
ساری دنیا کو ایک قومیت اور تمام بنی نوع انسان کو ایک قوم گردانتے ہیں“ (1)
تمام بنی نوع انسان کے لیے اقبال اتحاد و یگانگت کا پیغام رکھتے ہیں اس لیے اقبال نے مغربی تصور قومیت کے بدلے ملت اسلامیہ کا تصور پیش کیا۔ اقبال ایک ایسی عالمگیر ملت کے قیام کے خواہش مند تھے جس کا خدا، رسول، دین اور ایمان ایک ہو۔ اس جذبہ کے تحت اقبال نے مسلمانوں کو اخوت کا پیغام دیا اور انہیں مشورہ دیا کہ رنگ و خوں کے فرق کو توڑ کر...
Dr. Shari'ati is a revolutionary intellectual personality of this century. He regarded Islamic values as the guarantee of salvation and success for humanity. He sought to mobilize and revive frozen Islamic ideas. That is, tried to bring the Islamic concept out of the boundaries of formal and congested boundaries into common and general thoughts. Dr. Shari'ati also presented a unique view that divine Imam transcends than worldly governments and this divine leadership cannot be determined by (Shuraiet). Rather, it can be diagnosed by an obvious reason (Nass). This doctrine of Dr. Shari'ati is contrary to the ideology of the Sunni and the Shi'ite’s concept of Imamat and Khilafat because the Sunni sect believes that Khilafat Or Imamt should be determine by the Shurait (Council) and Shiites by the will(Nass). According to Dr. Shairathi, Imamat cannot be determining through Shourait or Nass but it can be identified by the superior attributes of the Imam. He believes that Imamat is not an external factor which can gain by attainment or by choice; rather, it is an Inherit object. In accepting this doctrine of Dr. Shari'ati, than the Imamat becomes a part of the system of naturalism (Takveeni). That makes the Imamat not a model process for humanity. So it would be a complicated issue to discuss and discover either the theory of Dr. Shari'ati is a applicable idea of Imamat or it is a just onlyu idialogy which cannot be practiced. The dissertation has been written to examine the reality of these two cases either Imamat is inherit case or it can be attainment case through Shouriat or Nass.
Master of Education students at lED come from developing countries in Central Asia, South Asia and East Africa. They bring together divergent educational and life experiences. However, most of the students have experienced similar assessment practices as students and teachers. In their assessment practices prior to lED, which is characterized in this study as 'traditional', teaching and learning have been geared towards examinations and tests. The selective purpose of assessment selects and rejects people, and social reproduction is maintained by the traditional assessment. Additionally, traditional assessment has often caused great deal of psychological discomfort and elements of 'unproductive competition' reflecting on extrinsic reward in schooling. At lED, they are exposed to the alternative approaches to assessment. One of the aims of lED is to "bring about improvement in the performance of teachers through professional development and improvement". In order to improve the quality of education in the developing country context, these M.Ed. students have a very intensive learning experience. They are encouraged to critically examine their existing educational philosophy, including assessment notions. Many people reconceptualize their assessment notions. After the completion of the course the M.Ed. students are potentially in a position where they will be able to influence assessment practices, to varying degree, when they return to their home work environments. The data from this study illustrate how the M.Ed. students reconceptualize their assessment practices, the factors that hinder or help them to reconceptualize, and also the implications of their lED learning experience for future professional activities. The possibility of 'dissonance' is also discussed as a number of students, although they appear to have reconceptualized their views on assessment, revert to their traditional assessment behaviours due to different internal and external factors. There is sometimes a gap between espoused and actual assessment practices at lED. Among the major reasons for that gap is the higher education system of which lED is a part. lED is required to follow accountability, quality assurance and grading practices that are congruent with the university and other institutions. Although the focus of the study was not to give suggestions for the development of IED's assessment policy and practices, implications are drawn which may assist in addressing assessment related issues more effectively.
