احقرؔ بہاری مرحوم
(معین الدین اور دائی)
بہار کی سرزمین جس قدر مردم خیز ہے، اسی قدر مردم خوار بھی ہے، خدا جانے کیا بات ہے کہ وہاں کے لوگوں کو شہرت طلبی سے شرم آتی ہے، اہل وطن بھی قدرشناسی نہیں کرتے، اس لئے یہاں کے اچھے اچھے جوہر قابل بلبلہ کی طرح ابھرتے اور دب جاتے ہیں، اگر بہار کے کچھ لوگوں کے نام زندہ ہیں تو یہ وہی ہیں جن کا آوازۂ کمال دوسرے صوبوں تک پہنچا اور وہاں کے لوگوں نے قدرشناسی کرکے ان کو شہرت بخشی، بہار کے ان گمنام اہل کمال میں ایک احقر بہاری مرحوم ہیں، یہ بہار کے ایک پرانے کہنہ مشق استاد سخن تھے، شعر و شاعری کے بڑے بڑے معرکے طے کئے تھے، پچاس ساٹھ برس کے ریاض میں دیوان یادگار چھوڑا ذیل کے صفحات میں ناظرین کو اسی گمنام صاحب کمال سے روشناس کرنا ہے۔
مختصر حالات: بشارت حسین نام، احقر تخلص، ضلع عظیم آباد پٹنہ کے ایک گاؤں بڑا ڈیہہ میں پیدا ہوئے، سال ولادت ۱۲۷۶ھ ہے، ان کے والد ماجد شیخ اکبر حسین اس قریہ کے ایک ممتاز متمول اور ذی عزت رئیس تھے، وہ وہیں پیدا ہوئے اور اپنی تمام زندگی وہیں گزار دی۔
احقر مرحوم کی ابتدائی تعلیم اسی گاؤں ہی میں ہوئی، فارسی اور عربی کی ابتدائی کتابیں وہاں پڑھا کر ان کے والد نے تعلیم کی غرض سے ۱۲۸۸ھ میں ان کو پٹنہ بھیجا، مولوی خدابخش صاحب جو اس وقت کے ایک لائق عالم تھے، ان کی تعلیم کے لئے مقرر کئے گئے، کچھ عرصہ ان کے زیر تعلیم رہنے کے بعد وہ بہار چلے آئے اور یہیں متعدد علماء کے زیر سایہ علم کی خوشہ چینی کرتے رہے، باایں ہمہ ان میں عربی کی کوئی ایسی اچھی لیاقت نہ تھی، لیکن فارسی اچھی جانتے تھے۔
۱۲۹۵ھ میں ان نکاح...
خطۂ بہاول پور کے چند مغربی اسفار(ایک نو آبادیاتی باشندے کی نظر میں) Where the western colonial powers have had a profound influence on other forms of literature, such a genre of travel journalism in the Bahawalpur region could not be safeguarded. The region is known for its civilization and culture, yet the rumors that have been written from Pakistan to Pakistan remain mournful that the tradition under the influence has stirred. Although the nature of the journals being written in the Bahawalpur region varied, the correspondents here discussed the impact that the west had given them. At the national level, the ambassadors sought for western couples and also showed an attitude of disregarding civilization and culture. At the national level, the ambassadors sought for western couples and also showed an attitude of disregarding civilization and culture. Travelling entrepreneurs separate from their country apart from a new angle and independent thinking, they seem to be lacking in the west. This difference can be seen even more clearly if domestic and international travels are taken into account.
The problem under investigation was to find out whether achievement through Mastery Learning (ML)
and Direct Instruction (DI) was dependent on the aptitude of student-teachers in the graduate teacher
training programme or not. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the aptitude of student-
teachers before teaching them through Mastery Learning and Direct Instruction, to compare the high
aptitude student-teachers in their academic achievement through Mastery Learning and Direct
Instruction. Further objectives were to compare the low aptitude student-teachers in their academic
achievement through Mastery Learning and Direct Instruction. Moreover, to compare the academic
achievement of student-teachers having high and low aptitude taught through Direct Instruction and to
compare the academic achievement of Mastery Learning group and Direct Instruction group of
student—teachers.
It was an experimental study. The population of the study consisted of student-teachers enrolled in B.
Ed. programme in Federal College of Education, Islamabad. The sample comprised of 116 student-
teachers of B. Ed. class of Federal College of Education. Research findings revealed that the student-
teachers having high and low aptitude differed in their achievement after teaching them through
Mastery Learning and Direct Instruction respectively, the difference being in favour of those taught
through Mastery Learning. The student-teachers with high and low aptitude did not differ in their
achievement when exposed to teaching through Mastery Learning. The student-teachers with high and
low aptitude however differed in their achievement when exposed to teaching through Direct
Instruction, the difference being in favour of student-teachers having high aptitude. Mastery Learning
was found to be equally effective for student-teachers having high and low aptitude for teaching,
whereas Direct Instruction was found to be effective for student-teachers having high aptitude.
The major recommendations of the study were: Keeping in view the significance of aptitude, the
enrollment selection criteria may suitably be modified. The text, lesson plans, co-curricular activities
and behaviour of teacher may have a positive influence on aptitude. Therefore, these aspects may be
improved and further research may be conducted on these aspects. Instructional material should be
developed based on these two models of teaching for different subjects at different grade levels. These
two models of teaching should be tested on under-achievers and over-achievers in terms of their
achievement.
