In Pakistan, mathematics is taught as one of the compulsory subject in all public and private schoolsfrom primary to secondary level. But unfortunately, this subject is not of much interestfor thePakistani students studying in public and private schools; it is rather a nightmare for them. There may be many reasons for this effect but among one of them is the teaching method. Problem solving method is a source of developing problem solving ability, through which students could be able to solve daily life problems. Most of the mathematicians were inspired by the classical work of Polya (1981) and Dewey (1933). Problem Solving Method is helpful in developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). According to Anderson (2001), to measure these skills, the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy is the best evaluation source.The intent of this true experimental study was to find out the effect of George Polya’s problem solving method of teaching on revised Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, in the subject of mathematics at elementary level. The objectives of the study were i) To find out the effect of problem solving method on conceptual knowledge sub-level remembering. ii) To evaluate the effect of problem solving method on conceptual knowledge sub-level understanding. iii) To check the effect of problem solving method on conceptual knowledge sub-level applying. iv) To determine the effect of problem solving method on conceptual knowledge sub-level analyzing. v) To find out the effect of problem solving method on conceptual knowledge sub-level evaluating.vi) To check the effect of problem solving method on conceptual knowledge sub-level creating. vii)To find out the effect of problem solving method 10 on Higher Order Thinking skills of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. To achieve the objectives, eight research questions were developed. To verify the objectives, eight null hypotheses were developed. True experimental pretest-posttest (double control group) design was used.An experiment was performed in a school situated in urban area of Islamabad. Multistage sampling technique used for the selection of school. 132 8th grade students were used in the experiment. Pre-test which consisted of 60 items of six cognitive processes was developed. Validity of the test was checked by the experts and reliability was checked throughAlpha reliability analysis which wasα = .89. On the basis of pre-test scores, three groups were formed through proportionate random sampling. The Experimental Group was taught by the researcher through Problem Solving Method, and other two groups were taught through Conventional Method by the same school teachers. All possible efforts were made to control the internal and external threats. Forty lessons were taught during the 8-week experiment to all three groups. Post-test was developed by changing the order of the questions of pre-test. Post-test was administered and marked according to the rubric design for marking. Pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed on SPSS. One Way ANOVA and t-test were applied on the data.In the light of the analyses of data it was found that by teaching through Problem Solving Method, students performed better on Revised Bloom Taxonomy as compared to Conventional method. It was concluded on the bases of findings that Problem Solving Method showed significant improvement at all levels of knowledge dimension and hence all null hypotheses were not accepted. It was also concluded that Problem Solving Method works better than Conventional Method for teaching of Mathematics. In the light of these conclusions, Problem Solving Method was recommended for teachingof Mathematics at Elementary level and also suggested to add it in teachers training programmes as well.

مولوی عبدالباری

مولوی عبدالباری
افسوس ہے کہ دارالمصفین کے قدیم اور مخلص خدمت گذار مولوی عبدالباری صاحب ۳۰؍ جون کو وفات پاگئے، ان کی عمر ۹۰ سال سے متجاوز تھی، دارالمصنفین کے ابتدائی دور میں حضرت مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ نے انہیں تصحیح اور کتب خانہ کی نگرانی کے کام پر مامور کیا تھا جس کو دو برس پہلے تک وہ انجام دیتے رہے، دارالمصنفین کے عروج کا دور دیکھنے والے اب تنہا وہی رہ گئے تھے، ان کی تعلیم مدرسۃ الاصلاح سرائمیر میں ہوئی تھی اور وہ مولانا امین اصلاحی مدظلہ، کے ہم سبق تھے، دارالمصنفین سے وابستگی کی وجہ سے انہیں مضمون نگاری کا چسکہ لگ گیا تھا، ابو علی اثری اور ابو علی اعظمی کے نام سے مدۃالعمر اخباروں اور رسالوں میں مضامین لکھتے رہے، علامہ شبلیؒ کے بڑے مداح اور سیدصاحب کے نہایت عقیدت مند تھے، ان کا ذکر برابر لطف ولذت سے کرتے تھے ان پر اور مولانا ابو الکلام آزاد پر بے شمار مضامین لکھے، دونوں بزرگوں پر ان کے مضامین کے ایک ایک مجموعے ضیاء اﷲ کھوکھر صاحب (گوجرانوالہ، پاکستان) نے شایع کیا تھا، اپنی خودداری کی وجہ سے کسی کا منت کش ہونا گوارا نہیں کیا اور قناعت پسندی کی بنا پر ایک قلیل مشاہرہ پر پوری زندگی گذار دی، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی بشری لغزشوں کو معاف فرمائے اور جنت نعیم میں جگہ دے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، جولائی ۱۹۹۳ء)

پاکستانی دینی مدارس و عصری تعلیمی اداروں کا سماجی تشکیل میں کردار: فقہ السیرۃ کے تناظر میں

Pakistan came into being on 14th August 1947 A.D/27th Ramazan 1366 A.H. According to the constitution of Pakistan its full name is “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”)اپاتسکن وہمجرہی االسیم.)After its existence many rulers and Citizens of Pakistan established a number of Educational Institutions. These institutions are of three types: 1. Governmental, Public Sector Educational Institutions from Primary to University level and Model Deeni Madaris. 2. Semi Government Educational Institutions. 3. Private Sector Institutions including religious Institutions. In all education policies of Pakistan, the major content was to produce patriotic, religious and well-mannered citizens for this Country. In this research article the efforts and activities of religious and educational Institutes of Pakistan will be described, who are playing their role to establish a Welfare Society in the light of Seerah.

Language and Conceptualization in Autism: A Study from the Perspective of Cognitive Semantics

This thesis looks at the language and conceptualization in autism from the perspective of embodiment offered by Cognitive Semantics – concepts are embodied and are mirrored through language. Thirteen verbal children with autism were treated as thirteen cases and their behaviour and linguistic data were analyzed to investigate following three interests: 1) the nature of their embodiment (sensory-perceptual experiences); 2) the disposition of their conception regarding real-life events; and 3) the relation between their embodiment and their conception of events as revealed through their discourses. The study is delimited to two real-life events: School Routine and Birthday Party. The former is experienced by the children five days a week, while the latter is experienced once a month. The study is further delimited to three modalities: visual, auditory and proprioception. The visual, auditory and proprioceptive embodiments of children with autism were explored through Sensory Profile Checklist Revised (SPCR) (Bogdashina, 2005), while their conception and processing of real life events were identified and determined after analyzing their discourses through Cognitive Discourse Analysis (CODA) Tenbrink (2015). The qualitative analysis of linguistic data revealed the expected association between absence and presence of concepts, and sensory processing of verbal children with autism. The findings were discussed in the perspective of Cognitive Semantics that offers a relation between embodiment, conceptualization and language. The study concluded with the proposition that autism be viewed from the perspective of embodiment. This offers a more flexible and developmental approach towards individuals with autism and treats them just like neurotypicals – the perception and conception (of events schemas) are determined by their unique embodiment (sensory-perceptual experiences). The proposed cognitive theory of autism “theory of embodied processing” also seems to resolve the issues of universality, specificity and uniqueness that already existing cognitive theories of autism – Theory of Mind Deficit, Theory of Executive Functioning and Theory of Weak Central Coherence – have been trying to resolve.
