We are living in an age characterized by challenges where nations must not only accept the challenges of today but also make through foundation to confront those expected to come in future. To meet these challenges and realize ideas, our education system has to work at full potential, providing services of highest quality. The utmost contribution of the system in this regard is to develop a curriculum that is comprehensive, rigorous, futuristic and consistent with the needs of the nation. However a critical analysis of the prevailing curriculum tells a sorry tale. The course designed almost two decades back had the set characteristics but much development has occurred in various domains of knowledge and needs of societies have changed during the time. The curriculum on the other hand remained unchanged and has become dysfunctional. This research is a critical study of instructional topics and their effectiveness in the subject of Education taught in colleges at graduate level vis-à-vis our current needs and the advancements in this field through research in all over the world. It also emphasized the importance of curriculum review and revision to explore the obstacle in the process of curriculum amendments. The methodology of this study is a survey based or enquiry into the need and scope of subject of Education in our society. Secondly the existing curriculum has been analyzed form data interpretation. The target population for this study is the teachers and the students of all those colleges in Karachi that offer Education as a subject at graduate level. Out of those, 24 government colleges and 7 private colleges have been selected for the survey questionnaire. The collected data will be interpreted and evaluated through various statistical tools. In the light of results researcher will present some suggestions and recommendations to update the curriculum and adjust to the changing trends of this modern and growing world.

۱۲۔ حزیں حرف گر

حزیں حرف گر

جہاں گر!

فقط ایک تمنا مجھے بے قرار رکھتی ہے

میں تم سے ہم کلا م ہو جائوں

میرے کم مایہ الفاظ تیری سماعت کے منتظر ہیں

مجھے لگتا ہے ،میں تیرا حصہ ہوں

تجھ سے جدا ہوا ہوں

کسی دن پھر آ ملوں گا

تو کتنا بے نیاز ہے

رات تیرے ایک اشارے پر دن کواپنے بطن سے جنم دیتی ہے

موسم اپنی کوکھ...

حضرت آدم علیہ السلام بائبل اور قرآن کى روشنى میں

Hazrat Sayyedna Adam (A.S) was the first man and the first prophet. Both Quran and Bible reveal that he was made from clay and was housed in Heavens. There was a most complete freedom for Sayyedna Adam (A.S) except of going near a forbidden tree. Iblees conducted an evil plan and tempted him to taste the fruit of the tree. This let to his descent on Earth. This study attempts to make a comparative analysis of Hazrat Sayyedna Adam (A.S)‘s Incident as mentioned in the Quran and the Bible.

Adaption of Technology Acceptance Model for Technology Enhanced Learning: A Meta-Model for Application in Heis

With the rapid development of information and communication technologies, academic explorations into factors influencing acceptance of technology systems have been actively pursued. Thereby, many variants of the technology acceptance model were proposed and validated in various contexts involving a widespread application of the model, specifically in studying acceptance and use of e-learning systems. In the context of e-learning adoption, commonly used external factors of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) are “self-efficacy”, “subjective norm”, “enjoyment”, “computer anxiety” and “experience”. Previous research on e-learning technologies have further explored the effect of these external factors on two primary constructs of TAM which are “perceived ease of use” and “perceived usefulness”. Although engagement of students with e-learning systems has revealed improvement in learning, the role of previously used external factors like computer anxiety, experience and selfefficacy needs to be re-examined for the modern digital native learners who have grown up in sophisticated technological environment. Therefore, factors like “results demonstrability”, “perception of external control”, “system accessibility” and “attitude” considered relevant to digital learners and were identified and used in the proposed model. These additional factors augmented the previously identified factors like “subjective norm”, “enjoyment” and “self-efficacy” for studying their influence on students’ behavioral intention to utilize e-learning systems. This research utilizes a cross-sectional design and data was collected from 437 undergraduate students from three academic programs using a self-administered questionnaire. Structural equation modeling technique was used to test the interrelationships between the constructs of proposed model. Mediating effects of model variables and moderating effects of gender, experience and type of institution on behavioral intention to use e-learning systems were also studied. The primary contribution of this research is an extended technology acceptance model based upon external factors relevant to digital learners, which identifies key predictors of student’s perceived ease of use and student’s perceived usefulness of e-learning systems. The research findings have significant theoretical and practical significance for researchers and academic practitioners. The proposed model will be useful in predicting behavioral intention to use e-learning systems by digital learners and will generate additional future research in other contexts and cultures with an aim to design and adopt e-learning systems that seek wide acceptance among students in universities.
