The purpose and the first focus of the study was to examine whether questioning and role play are viable and potentially productive teaching strategies in developing students’ critical thinking at upper primary level in Pakistan. The second research focus was to explore the effect of intervention on attitudes of students. The study was conducted in two classrooms of one Public school over one term in the academic year 2014. In relation with first research focus, design based research was used as key methodology over two cases studies.Evidence was collected in a usual classroom context in the form of observation (audio video recordings), questionnaires, and field notes. The purpose was to collect data in the classroom that was as natural as possible. The first research focus was evaluated through the indirect evidence of its effects on critical thinking. The first of these were considered the extent to which students were displaying either in weak or moderate or strong critical thinking. The analysis was corroborated by questionnaire results and class room discourse. Paul''s intellectual standards were used for teaching and as an analytical tool in examining change in student''s critical thinking.The findings of the study showed that the level of critical thinking of students was changed from weak to strong in the end of the intervention that presents the success of the intervention. In relation with second focus of the study, change of students’ attitude was measured by mean score through pre- and post- critical thinking questionnaires based on Paul''s intellectual trait model. The significant change in critical thinking attitude was an evidence of the productivity of the intervention. The researcher suggests that questioning and role play as productive teaching strategies may be practiced by the elementary teachers to have greater participation in class and increase of the level of students’ critical thinking.

مولانا عنایت اﷲ فر نگی محلی

مولانا عنایت اﷲ فرنگی محلی
یہ خبر نہایت افسوس کے ساتھ سنی جائے گی کہ فرنگی محل کے ممتاز عالم مولانا عنایت اﷲ صاحب فرنگی محلی نے ۶؍ جولائی ۱۹۴۱؁ء کو دفعتہ وفات پائی، انا ﷲ و انا الیہ راجعون۔ مرحوم ابھی ۲۴، ۲۵، ۲۶ جون کو ہمارے ساتھ بھوپال میں عربی مدارس کی اصلاح کے کام میں شریک تھے، وہیں دردشکم میں مبتلا ہوئے جس کے باعث وہ کئی دن تک وہاں علیل رہے، سوء ہضم، تسلسل بول اور ضعف قلب کے عوارض ان کو پہلے سے لاحق تھے، بھوپال میں مرض کی تخفیف کے بعد وہ لکھنؤ روانہ ہوئے اور میں بھی ان ہی کی وجہ سے ان ہی کے ساتھ لکھنؤ تک آیا، لکھنؤ اسٹیشن پر پہنچ کر مرحوم نے مجھ سے کہا کہ میں آپ کی زحمتوں اور خدمتوں کا شکریہ اس لیے نہیں ادا کروں گا کہ میں آپ کو اپنے سے علیحدہ نہیں سمجھتا، یہ کہہ سن کر سلام کے بعد ہم دونوں الگ ہوگئے، یہ کون کہہ سکتا تھاکہ یہ سلام رخصت آخری سلام ہے۔
مرحوم فرنگی محل کے خانوادہ میں تنہا جامع علوم و فنون ہستی باقی رہ گئے تھے، معقولات اور منقولات پر ان کو یکساں دسترس حاصل تھی، مسائل پر وہ مبصرانہ اور ناقدانہ نظر رکھتے تھے، اردو میں تاریخ ، حدیث و رجال پر کئی رسالے لکھے تھے، مدرسہ نظامیہ کے صدر مدرس اور اچھے مدرس تھے، سیاسیات سے بھی دلچسپی رکھتے تھے، خلافت اور مسلم لیگ کے کاموں میں حصہ لیتے رہتے تھے، کل ۵۴ برس کی عمر پائی، اﷲ تعالیٰ مرحوم کو اپنی عنایتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے۔
(سید سلیمان ندوی، اگست ۱۹۴۱ء)

 

علامہ سیوطی کی کتاب لباب النقول فی اسباب النزول کا تحقیقی وتنقیدی جائزہ

Islam is a natural and complete code of life for human being. Among the basic sources of Islamic teachings, The Holy Quran is the first and fundamental source. In the field of Islamic studies, Quran discipline has many branches and sub disciplines which assist us to understand the Quran, these sub-disciplines are called “Ulum Al Quran”. “Ulum Al Quran” are divided in hundreds types and Ilm Asbab Al Nuzul” is a very important among these types. The importance of this ilm can be gauged that the scholars and Interpreter of The Holy Quran have written separate books with respect of this ilm. We can see that after Allama Wahidi, Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti has also compiled a value able book named:  "لباب النقول فی اسباب النزول"“Libab Al Nuqul Fi Asbab Al Nuzul” on this Ilm. In this article will try to find out and explain the methodology of Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti in his basic and majestic book with narration of its value ability, popularity and necessary introduction.

Development of Productitive Enhancement Framework for Private Sector Autom Otive Manufacturing Industry of Pakistan

Organizational productivity is one of the basic tools to gauge its competitiveness. Research has proven that methodologies for gauging productivity are lacking in industries globally, and mostly non-standard tools are used to measure and evaluate productivity. In Pakistan specifically, not enough efforts have been put in place to gauge and enhance the productivity of manufacturing industry. This research is focused on identifying the prevalent status of productivity in automotive industry of Pakistan and then suggesting a productivity enhancement framework. This mixed methodology research has been conducted using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Sequential explanatory design in combination with sequential exploratory design was used as suggested by Creswell [106]. Quantitative research was conducted by carrying out productivity analysis of the industry using secondary data from sample companies. Authentic government sources, such as Engineering Development Board and two national level associations i.e. Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) and Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers of Pakistan (PAAPAM) were consulted for data collection. Secondary data for ten years covering FY 2000-2010 for two major automotive manufacturing firms was gathered. Total Productivity and all partial productivities were computed using methodology proposed by Sumanth [4], while Total Factor Productivity (TFP) was computed using Cobb-Douglas production function. Results gathered showed low productivity status of the industry as compared to that of international industry. In order to develop a productivity enhancement framework, qualitative research was conducted by collecting primary data through qualitative interviews from top management of 26 automotive manufacturing companies. A total of 40 interviews were conducted on the basis of theoretical saturation and theoretical sampling. Open ended questions used for survey were compiled from the internationally published literature for validity and reliability requirements. Using explanatory and descriptive study, role of technology in productivity enhancement of the industry was examined. Findings of this research have been used to develop a productivity enhancement framework for the industry. Developed framework was compared with the framework of 6 different countries, including USA, UK, Sweden, India, China and Thailand [33], [36], [37], [44], [45]. Comparison resulted in emergence of the finalized productivity enhancement framework of the industry. This framework was then implemented in one of the major auto parts manufacturing companies of Pakistan for its validation. Results of the implementation not only validated the model but also depicted that there is an immediate need to implement these concepts for productivity enhancement. The cost- effective solutions suggested in this model and its cross cultural comparisons also show that this model can be used for manufacturing industries in general in the developing countries.
