Goal of this research is to check the feasibility of blending Agile software development methods in offshore software development. We hope that this blend will result in a significant improvement in a software development cycle by benefiting from both worlds. There are many factors which contribute to the success / failure of offshore Agile project development, e.g. development strategy, project type, communication channel, cultural differences, distant locations and project size. This thesis focuses on the effect of development strategy and project types on the offshore software development. In this research, we also report on success rate and suitability of different types of software projects and development strategies using offshore Agile software development. The survey indicates that coding and testing phases of software development are best suited for off shoring in any iteration of discipline-oriented sprint life cycle development. We havefound that maximum success rates for feature-oriented development strategy is obtained by developing general modules of a project at distributed location and critical modules at onshore. The study observed maximum success rate for web-based applications and websites among others offshore developed projects.

درد کا حد سے گزرنا ہے دوا ہو جانا

درد کا حد سے گزرنا ہے دوا ہو جانا
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!السلام علیکم! آج مجھے جس موضوع پر گفتگو کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’درد کا حد سے گزرنا ہے دوا ہو جانا ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
دکھ درد، تکلیف ہم معنی الفاظ ہیں، زندگی میں ہر شخص کوکسی نہ کسی موقع پر رنج وغم اور دکھ و تکلیف سے واسطہ پڑتا ہے خوشیاں روٹھ جاتی ہیں، رنج و الم کے بادل گھٹائیں بن کر برسنا شروع ہو جاتے ہیں گھر کے آنگن میں نوید ومسرت کی چاندنی بکھیرنے والا قمر گہنا جاتا ہے۔
صدرِ ذی وقار!
زندگی کے نشیب وفراز سے انسان ہمکنارر ہتا ہے۔ افراط و تفریط کا سلسلہ شروع رہتا ہے، کامیاب انسان وہ ہے جوایسے حالات میں مستقل مزاج رہتا ہے ان بوقلمونیوں سے اس کے پائے استقلال میں لغزش نہیں آتی اور یوں اس کی زندگی کی گاڑی رواں دواں رہتی ہے۔بقول غالبؔ
رنج سے خوگر ہوا انساں تو مٹ جاتا ہے رنج
مشکلیں اتنی پڑیں مجھ پر کہ آساں ہو گئیں
صدرِ محترم!
جب کوئی چیز حد سے بڑھ جاتی ہے، اپنی انتہا کو پہنچ جاتی ہے تو اس کا وجود عنقا ہو جاتاہے اس کی حیثیت بدل جاتی ہے اس کے نفع نقصان کا تصور تبدیل ہو جاتا ہے۔ اس کے مضر اثرات مصلح ہو جاتے ہیں اس میں یکسر تبدیلی آجاتی ہے اور ایّام کے ساتھ ساتھ وہ قصہ پارینہ بن جاتی ہے۔
محترم سامعین!
رات اپنی انتہا کو پہنچتی ہے تو بادِ نسیم صبح کے حیات بخش جھونکوں سے آشنا ہے۔ دن اپنی بلندیوں کومس کرتا ہے تو قمر کی برووت بھری چاندنی قلب و ذہن کی طراوت کا باعث بنتی...

The Perceptions and Practices of Madrasa and Government Schools Teachers About Critical Thinking

One of the main purposes of education is to develop critical autonomous individuals, so that they could construct their own knowledge and promote their thinking skills and become more active citizens. On the other hand, there is a general impression about the two major systems of schools, the Madrasa and the Government schools, that both discourage students' critical thinking (CT) skills. Therefore, this study was conducted in order to explore the ground realities by conducting a comparative case study in a Madrasa and in a Government school in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. This study aims to explore the perceptions and practices of both schools' teachers' about CT. For this purpose, one teacher from each school was selected as a primary research participant. Both the schools' head teachers and two students from the schools were selected as secondary research participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the entire primary as well as the secondary research participants. Moreover, teachers' classroom teaching, the nature of co-curricular activities, and the practice of punishment and reward were observed. Similarly, some documents, such as textbooks and examination question papers, were also analyzed to see the application of CT. The findings revealed that both schools' teachers are of the view that CT is a crucial component for students in order to deal with the modem challenges. Though the teachers of both schools appreciated the significance of CT, their practices were often dominated by the transmission method teaching. In contrast, the findings found the Madrasa structure and practices more conducive to CT primarily because of the Madrasa having fewer students, and closer interaction between the teachers and the taught. But, in Government schools, where there are more students in the class and there is burden on teachers of taking more periods, then these factors hinder in creating conducive relations between teachers and the taught regarding the development of CT. The findings of this study seem unusual as secular schools are very often seen as better suited for fostering CT, while Madrasas are blamed for indoctrination. However, the research showed an interesting finding that the Madrasa opened both the doors of religious and secular education to its students, and provided a soothing environment for building students' self-esteem and confidence.
