A Study in Indices of Discrepancy between Students ‘Learning Styles and Their Actual Grade Achievement at Masters’ Level Every person has a preferred way of learning that is called Learning style. It is a characteristic way of reaching to the solution of the particular problem. The present study was conducted to find out the indices of discrepancy between students’ learning styles and their actual grade achievement at the masters’ level. It was to find out which type of learners is better in terms of actual grade achievement. The mean difference was also to be found out between learning styles of male and female students, urban and rural students, mean difference due to difference of fathers’ academic qualification, mothers’ academic qualification, and parents’ monthly income. All the students of Social Sciences and Management Sciences studying in third and fourth semester in public sector universities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad constituted the population which was two thousand and seventy six. Eight hundred and twenty students were chosen as sample. The Stratified Random Sampling Technique was employed for selecting the sample. The Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Version III was used for assessing learning styles of students. The students’ first two semesters’ results were used in order to find out the grade achievement. Data were analyzed by using, percentages, T -test, and one way ANOVA. After analysis it was found out that Divergent learning style was learning style of majority of student irrespective of the department or subject. It was concluded that there was a significant mean difference of learning styles in grade achievement at Masters’ level. The divergent, assimilative, accommodative, and convergent learners acquired higher grades respectively. It was also found out that residential location, academic qualification of mothers, and monthly income of parents brought significant mean difference in learning styles of students. No significant mean difference was found between learning style of male and female students, Along with that no significant mean difference was observed between learning styles due to academic qualification of fathers.

سروجنی نائیڈو

مسز سروجنی نیڈو
افسوس ہے کہ ہماری قومی عمارت کا ایک اور ستون گرگیا اور ۲؍ مارچ کو مسز سروجنی نیڈو ہم سے رخصت ہوگئیں وہ عورت تھیں مگر اپنے اوصاف اور خصوصیات میں بہتیرے مردوں سے بڑھ کر تھیں، وہ انگریزی زبان کی نازک خیال شاعرہ، سحرطراز خطیبہ، سیاسیات کی ماہر، جنگ آزادی کی سرفروش سپاہی اور ہندومسلم اتحاد کا عملی نمونہ تھیں، انھوں نے آزادی کی جنگ میں مردوں کے دوش بدوش قیدوبند کی مصیبتیں جھیلیں، وہ فرقہ ورانہ جذبات سے بلند اور صلح کل تھیں، ان کا دل بڑا وسیع تھا، اس میں مسلمانوں کے لئے بھی جگہ تھی، مسلمانوں کے ساتھ ہمیشہ ان کے دوستانہ تعلقات رہے، اور اس فرقہ ورانہ دور میں بھی ان کے خیالات اور طرزعمل میں کوئی تبدیلی نہیں ہوئی تھی، ہندو مسلمانوں کے بعض اختلافی مسائل میں ان کے ذاتی خیالات حکومت کی پالیسی سے مختلف تھے، جن کو وہ صاف طریقہ سے ظاہر نہ کرسکتی تھیں، لیکن ان کی جھلک ان کی تقریروں میں نظر آجاتی تھی، وہ مغربی تعلیم یافتہ تھیں، ان کی ساری زندگی سیاسی میدان میں گزری، اس کے باوجود ان میں نسوانی اور مشرقی خصوصیات موجود تھیں، دل میں نسوانی مہرومحبت، طبیعت میں خلق و مروت، مزاج میں شگفتگی و خوش اخلاقی اور تہذیب و معاشرت میں مغربی آب و رنگ کے ساتھ مشرقی روح جھلکتی تھی، وہ اپنے طرز عمل سے ہندو مسلمان دونوں میں مقبول تھیں اور دونوں کا اعتماد ان کو حاصل تھا، اس لئے ان کی موت دونوں کا قومی حادثہ ہے، ہوا کا رخ دیکھتے ہوئے اب ایسی شخصیتوں کا پیدا ہونا بظاہر مشکل معلوم ہوتا ہے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، مارچ ۱۹۴۹ء)

Alternative Conceptions and Their Origins of Science Teachers About Current Electricity

Alternative conceptions are the ideas which children and adults use to explain various scientific concepts which do not match with the generally accepted scientific explanation of those concepts. The focus of this qualitative research study was to explore the alternative conceptions of science teachers and their origins about basic concepts of current electricity. The concepts were taken from the science curricula of classes VI and VII and mainly include the concepts about the nature and flow of electric current, conductors and insulators, electric current in a simple circuit and electric current in a series and a parallel circuit. The sample included six middle school science teachers from three private schools in Karachi. Three different tools were used to explore teachers' conceptions and their origins about the selected concepts. The tools were (a) observation of classroom teaching while current electricity was being taught, (b) two questionnaires namely Learning Experience Sheet' and Task Sheet', (c ) an in-depth interview session. Learning Experience Sheet helped me to investigate how teachers had learnt about current electricity. Classroom observations and the Task Sheet explored the teachers' existing conceptions about electricity. The interview sessions provided me with an opportunity to discuss with the teachers their ideas in detail about electric current and the origins of these ideas. Open ended questions and probes were mainly used in the interview. The data obtained from all these sources was analysed and it was found that middle school science teachers of my sample hold several alternative conceptions about the basic concepts of current electricity. Many of their alternative conceptions are similar to those of children. For example, the teachers believe that a battery is a store of electrons which gives a fixed amount of electric current to any circuit in which it is placed, charge is used up by electrical devices, and electric current constitutes of the electrons which are produced in the battery. This study also explored that teachers' own rote learning of science as students, textbooks, daily life experiences, and lack of hands on experiences in current electricity are the main sources of teachers' alternative conceptions.
