Job satisfaction has been a question mark and in debate by the researchers since long. It gained much importance due to its significance for the achievement of objectives of any organization. The purpose of this study was to explore job satisfaction of academic and administrative staff working in the Elementary Education System of Punjab. The respondents for this study were academic and administrative staff taken of two Districts of Punjab i.e. Sahiwal and Rawalpindi. The overall response rate was 88%. Fifty seven Assistant Education Officers, 261 Headmasters, and 522 Teachers responded the questionnaire.

حسن پرستی ساڈا شیوہ۔۔۔

حسن پرستی ساڈا شیوہ، ماریا دم حضوری دا
فائدہ توں اٹھا نہ سجناں ساڈی ایس مجبوری دا
دودھ تاں پانی پایا ملدا، پوڈر وی ہن پایا اے
بھانویں لکھ پئے خالص لیے دودھ ہن کالی بوری دا
عاشقاں دے نال کیوں نہیں کردے بندے سوہنے باتاں
کوئی تاں حل ہن کرنا پئے گا مسئلے اس مزدوری دا
واعظ مینوں عشقوں روکے آکھے پڑھ صلواتاں نوں
مطلب میں ایہہ سمجھ نہیں سکیا، اوہندی گل ادھوری دا
جتھے یار نیں روٹیاں لائیاں اوتھوں روٹی کھانی ایں
بھانویں پھلکا ہکو دے دے مینوں اوس تندوری دا
پڑھ درود کروڑ سلاماں ہر دم ذات محمدؐ تے
ایہو ذکر خدا ملائکہ، خاکی، آبی، نوری دا
کر کر زُہد عبادتاں تھکے، یار نہ ملیا جا کے مکے
جیہڑے عشق دی بازی جتے، انھاں قرب حضوری دا

قرآن مجید اور سائنس کے تعلق کی نوعیت، اہمیت و ضرورت

Two things human beings to reflect and the reconciliation between these statements and the lines can extract with ease. That man did not know about any of those things and goods through the universe, the Qurʾān said. Secondly, it has been in the material world of the universe, it can be concluded that so far, just being by God and is not without any reason that, in other words, each vowel (cause) and effect (effect) the highest (Purpose) is necessarily driven, and every step of every object in the universe and is the result of the three-member process.

Exploring the Efficacy of Specially Designed Hands-On Activites Using Predict, Observe and Explain Poe to Develop Conceptual Understaniding of Heat and Temperature in Grade Vii Students

The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of specially designed hands-on activities using Predict, Observe and Explain (POE) as teaching strategy to enhance conceptual understanding of heat and temperature. Due to the abstract nature of heat and temperature, students face difficulty grasping these concepts. As a result, misconceptions occur. This qualitative study, which recapitulates the research, conducted on six VII grade students of Ghauri Model private school (Pseudonym) in Karachi. Data were collected through pre-test, audio tape, observation, reflective diary, and post-test. Six hands-on activities were designed and implemented with the six students outside the classroom. As it was the end of academic year, therefore, revision classes were going on. These six sessions of POE were carried out during revision periods with the consent of the school principal and the science teacher. Before intervention, a pre-test consisting of 10 questions related to the concept of heat and temperature was administered. The purpose of the pre-test was to explore student’s prior understanding of the concept. The same test was administered to the students after teaching through the six hands-on activities with POE. The data revealed that all of the six participants showed comparatively better results in the post-test as compared to their result in the pre-test. The findings also revealed that students with naïve and partial ideas in the pre-test developed better and comprehensive understanding of heat and temperature in the post-test. In the light of the results, each hands-onactivity taught using POE was found relevant and useful for enhancing students’ conceptual understanding, active engagement and motivation. Moreover, the results also showed that both the content and the pedagogical knowledge of teachers play a crucial role in designing and implementing hands-on activities. For instance, it was challenging for the researcher to design and implement hands-on activities without relevant pedagogy, content knowledge and facilitation of the supervisor. Hence, this study provides implications for teachers and teacher educators to use hand-on activities for student’s conceptual understanding in science.
