The present study focuses on the developments in monolingual Urdu Lexicography. The main focus is on the developments in the megastructure and microstructure of the four major types of Urdu dictionaries categorized as: general purpose, pedagogical, LSP, and historical dictionaries. The research aims at finding out the developments in the inclusion of structural features in these dictionaries. The study examines and analyzes four types of dictionaries of Urdu based on four different check lists. The approach of documentary analysis is employed to carry out this descriptive type of research. To draw a checklist about the information in a dictionary, the studies of Bergenholtz & Tarp (1995), Hausmann and Wiegand (1989), Hartmann (1983, 2001), Bowker (2003), Jackson (2002), Landau (2001), Bejoint (2000) and Ahmad (2009) were taken into consideration. Different features of megastructure including contents, preface/introduction, user’s guide, list of abbreviations, pronunciation symbols, encyclopedic note, list of headwords (macrostructure), index, appendices, information label; and the features of microstructure including head word, spellings, pronunciation, inflections, word class, senses, definition/s, example/s, usage, cross reference, illustrations, run-ons, and etymology are used for analysis. The analysis reveals that general purpose, pedagogical and LSP dictionaries demonstrate no or least developments. They use limited outside matter, as they are deficient in providing the user’s guide, encyclopedic information and notes on language. In the back matter of pedagogical dictionaries, the list of defining vocabulary is not included. The information provided in microstructure of these dictionaries is also very vilimited. The technique of defining the headwords has not developed properly. Other related sections like the list of abbreviations, illustrations, and usage labels, are also missing in these types of dictionaries. However, the research reveals that the historical dictionaries have developed over the years. The compilers of the latest dictionary of this type have considered all the modern lexicographic needs of the users and have successfully brought the developments in the structure of the monolingual historical Urdu dictionaries.

ہسپتال دی نرس

ہسپتال دی نرس
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج بیماراں
سُن کے دکھ مریضاں دیویں خوشیاں لکھ ہزاراں
چٹی وردی سوہنی تیری پئی دلاں نوں بھاوے
ویکھن والا ول ول ویکھے ایڈا شوق ودھاوے
ایہہ وی تیرا شوق ہے رکھدی لگیاں توڑ نبھاوے
نال تیرے ایہہ جاسی جس دم جاسیں جنگل باراں
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج بیماراں
تن دی کریں صفائی بہتی ایہہ تیری مجبوری
رکھناں خوش مریضاں تائیں ایہہ وی بہت ضروری
من دی کریں صفائی جئے توں پاویں قرب حضوری
عزت ہوسی تیری جیویں ہوندی نیکو کاراں
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج بیماراں
کونجاں وانگ اکٹھے رہنا رل مل کرو اوتارا
جتھے جائو لہر خوشی دی خوشیاں دا ورتارا
ہمدردی تے جذبے تیرے موہ لیا اے جگ سارا
تیرے نال ہے رونق سارے گھر تے وچ بازارں
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج بیماراں

تیرے ورگا حوصلہ مینوں کدھرے نظر نہ آوے
ہر دی گل ہس کے سن لیناں تیری شان ودھاوے
وچ مریضاں ٹرنا پھرنا بہتا درد گھٹاوے
تیرے اس جذبے نوں میں تے دیواں داد ہزاراں
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج بیماراں
ڈاکٹراں سنگ سہاندی ایں توں ، تاہیوں اوہ خوش رہندے
ول ول تیریاں کرن تعریفاں اک دوجے سنگ بہندے
ناز ادا تے نخرے تیرے نال خوشی دے سہندے
واہ وا دل نوں بھائی جاون تیریاں خوش گفتاراں
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج بیماراں
ویکھ اقبالؔ ایہہ سسٹر سیانی گجھیاں مرضاں جانے
ایہدے دارو نال تے یارو جاندے دکھ پرانے
نیک نمازی ، خدمت گار تے ہوئے فضل ربانے
اوہدی جے کر محفل بہیے کھڑکن دل دیاں تاراں
لوکی تینوں سسٹر کہندے، کریں علاج...

تعلیم المدنیت (شہریت کی تعلیم) اسلامی تناظر میں

Development of Teacher Leadership: A Case Study of a Private School in Pakistan

Literature shows that little attention has been given so far to study the development of teacher leadership in the context of Pakistan. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how teacher leadership is developed and enhanced in a private school in this context. The study focused on understanding the school's activities and perceptions of the key stakeholders in order to illustrate the forms of teacher leadership in practice, identify the strategies employed for development of teacher leadership, and highlight the factors that influence the development process in the school context. By using a case study design in qualitative paradigm, the study collected data through SNA1, observations, document analysis and interviews (semi-structured and focused group) with teachers, coordinators, deputies, head of SDC2 and the school's principal. Collecting data from multiple sources and perspectives enriched the study findings. Note-taking, tape-recording, transcriptions, collecting copy of documents, memo-writing, and maintaining reflective diary facilitated the data recording and data collection process. The use of AGNA3 and Nvivo4 allowed systematic and inductive analysis of the data. The findings of the study revealed that both formal and informal forms of teacher leadership was in practice in that particular school and the participants perceive teacher leader as a role model, as a visionary or missionary and responsible person for the overall development of students. Various strategies for enabling teachers in improving their capacities, involving them in productive work and creating conducive professional environment have contributed in developing teacher leadership in the school context. Also, professional knowledge, school culture and structure, system support, and readiness for change are important factors in the development process. The findings of the study bring forth several implications for practitioners and relevant institutions and also suggest some recommendations for further research in the area of teacher leadership.
