This study is based on the exploration of a mentor's and a mentee's perceptions about the process of mentoring as a tool for the professional development of novice teachers. The novice teachers find it difficult to adjust in a new school due to lack of experiences and unfamiliarity with the school culture. At this stage, a beginner teacher needs support and guidance of the senior/experienced teachers in order to overcome the initial days' challenges of teaching and learning in the school. Mentoring could be introduced as an in-service professional development course, to guide and support the novice teachers in the school. During mentoring an experienced and expert teacher helps the beginner teachers to teach in a better way. To know about the effectiveness of the mentoring process in the professional development of teachers, a qualitative case study was carried out with a mentor and a mentee to explore their perceptions about the process of mentoring as a tool for the professional development of teachers in one of the private schools in Karachi. The findings revealed that mentoring contributed significantly in the professional development of beginner teachers by developing their pedagogical as well as content knowledge. Both mentor and the mentee perceived mentoring as being more beneficial, as compared to other professional development courses, because it provided them field-based support and guidance. The research findings show that time constraints, checking of lesson plans, observation/feedback, and the development of reflective skills were the major challenges faced by the mentor and mentee during the process of mentoring. The data suggests that allocating quality time and providing opportunities for mentors to be exposed to different trainings and courses could enhance the effectiveness of the mentoring process further.

قاضی عبدالغفار مراد آبادی

قاضی عبدالغفار مراد آبادی
افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں قاضی عبدالغفار صاحب مرادآبادی بھی داعی اجل کولبیک کہہ کر رہ گزائے عالم ِباقی ہوگئے۔مرحوم اردو کے نامور اورصاحب طرز ادیب، کامیاب صحافی اوربڑے خوش فکروپُرجوش قومی کارکن تھے۔ان کی شہرت کاآغاز بحیثیت ایک اخبار نویس کے ہوا۔اس سلسلہ میں انھوں نے مولانا محمد علی مرحوم سے باقاعدہ ٹریننگ لی تھی اورہمدرد کے عملۂ ادارت میں شریک رہنے کے علاوہ خوداپنے بھی متعدد اخبار نکالے تھے۔تحریک خلافت میں پیش پیش رہے اور قلم کے ساتھ زبان اورعمل سے بھی قومی خدمات انجام دیتے رہے۔ تحریک خلافت کے ختم ہوجانے پر لوگ کچھ اُن کو بھول سے چلے تھے کہ پھر یکایک’ لیلیٰ کے خطوط‘ نے ان کوادبی شہرت کے آسمان پرمہرنیمروز بنا کر چمکا دیا۔اس کے بعد انھوں نے ’’مجنوں کی ڈائری‘‘،’’تین پیسہ کی چھوکری‘‘،’’حیات جمال الدین افغانی‘‘ اور’’حیات اجمل‘‘وغیرہ کتابیں لکھیں جو ان کی شہرت میں برابر اضافہ ہی کرتی رہیں۔ مرحوم بڑے شگفتہ نگارمصنف اور صاحب قلم تھے، اُن کی تحریروں میں شوخی کے ساتھ سنجیدگی کابڑا لطیف امتزاج ہوتا تھا۔طبیعت کی رنگینی کا اثر صفحۂ قرطاس پربھی ظاہر ہوئے بغیر نہیں رہتا تھا۔ اپنے فکروخیال میں بڑے پکے اور سخت قسم کے انسان تھے۔تجارت کے سلسلے میں یورپ بھی ہوآئے تھے اوروہاں کا سفرنامہ جو’’نقش ِفرنگ‘‘ کے نام سے لکھا تھا وہ بجائے خود اردو زبان کا ایک شاہکار ہے۔تقسیم کے بعدانجمن ترقی اُردو(ہند)کا علی گڑھ میں ازسرنو قیام ہوا توقاضی صاحب اُس کے سیکرٹری مقررہوئے اورآخر اسی انجمن کی خدمت کرتے کرتے جان جان آفریں کے سپرد کردی۔بڑے ملنسار اورخوش خلق وخوش رو تھے، جس سے ملتے تھے اخلاص ومحبت سے ملتے تھے۔ اس صدی کے ربع اوّل کی یوپی کی تہذیب وشائستگی اورمخلوط تمدن وشستگی کے بڑے اچھے نمونہ تھے، بات کرتے تھے تومنہ سے پھول جھڑتے تھے اورمسکراتے تھے توگل ترکے دامن پرشبنم...

نبی کریم ﷺ کے تعدد ازواج کے سماجی اثرات

The seerah of the Holy Prophet (SAW) is a diversified combination of various traits. Among hundreds of the aspects of seerah if analysed various such dimensions appear before us in accordance with the educational and cultural evolution and criticality of time. One of these many is the sociological aspect of the holy seerah of the Prophet (SAW). According to the teachings of the Holy Prophet SAW Islam n Society are quite compatible to each other where marital element holds foremost importance in social circles. There is complete guidance about it in the seerah. The Prophet of Islam himself provided practical model of polygamy which was subjected to severe censure by the non-believers on account of their prejudice, ignorance and dishonesty and which the research scholars of seerah responded to n refuted on logical, convincing and solid grounds. The objective of this thesis is to highlight various positive effects of the polygamy of the Prophet SAW on society and its value in eradicating a number of social evils. Among manifold positive effects of this practice of polygamy include such benefits as the well-being and social elevation of widows, the eradication of the frequent custom of adoption, the extinction of social distinction and discrimination, the removal of tribal n social enmities, the following of the Prophet's model of women's education, the recognition of social work and social workers, and the upbringing of orphans.

Evaluation of Potential Biotic Stress Resistance Genes Form Gossypium Arboreum

Cotton is the most important fibre crop of the world. Pakistan is the fourth major contributor in cotton production. In our country a viral disease caused by cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) is the most important factor limiting cotton production of widely cultivated Gossypium hirsutum varieties since the induction of the disease in this region. Gossypium arboreum is the cotton species that is resistant to this disease. Cotton scientists are working to find the key genes in G. arboreum that confer resistance against cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD). The present study is also an effort to find some potential biotic stress resistance genes from G. arboreum and the evaluation of some genes against CLCuV infection. Different approaches were employed to identify some potential biotic stress resistance genes from G. arboreum. These approaches include screening of G. arboreum leaf cDNA library, finding homologs of resistance genes in the ESTs database of G. arboreum and their screening in G. arboreum and CLCuV symtomatic and asymtomatic plants of G. hirsutum genotypes, cloning of resistance genes from G. arboreum and G. hirsutum using degenerate primers approach and isolation of full length putative biotic stress resistance genes from G. arboreum in RT-PCR. The identified full length genes were coding full length allene oxide synthase, hydroperoxide lyase and calreticulin proteins that were cloned in plant expression vector and were transformed in Nicotiana tabacum through Agrobacterium mediated transformation. The T1 generation of transgenic plants was inoculated with cotton leaf curl multan virus (CLCuMuV) through leaf infiltration. The virus presence and titre in inoculated plants was determined through conventional and realtime PCR respectively. No significant difference in virus titer was detected in all transgenic plants with respect to control plants. It is inferred that resistance against CLCuV might not be due to single gene. Multiple genes might be involved in conferring resistance against this disease. The various approaches adopted in this study to identify possible resistance genes against CLCuV infection resulted in identification and isolation of a set of genes. Theses genes are a valuable source to study their interaction against various coton pathogens and can be utilized to improve resistance level of susceptible G. hirsutum and other plant species.
