Global environmental issues are increasing due to the rapid developments in science and technology. To address these environmental issues there is a need to create an awareness about environmental education among the masses. This can only be possible through teachers and teacher educators. My underlying assumption is that science teachers are teaching environmental concepts as scientific facts, without creating an awareness about environmental education. The ultimate purpose of this study was to explore the beliefs of a secondary science teacher about environmental education and how his stated beliefs matched with his classroom practices. The study was conducted in one of the co-operative schools of the Aga Khan University- Institute for Educational Development, in Karachi Pakistan. And the sample for this study included one secondary science teacher. The research design was qualitative, which included multimethods. The methods included semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, pre-post conferences, document analysis and the teacher's teaching/learning stories. The study employed different data collection tools such as interview guidelines, a classroom observation checklist, teaching/learning stories and pre-post conference guideline questions. The findings of the study suggest that the participant science teacher in this sample believed in teaching environmental education in a science classroom. He also believed that students should be given a free choice to be involved in environmental participatory activities such as environmental management projects in the real environment. However his enacted teacher centred classroom practice was contrary to his stated beliefs. The factors that prevented him from enacting his beliefs were identified as his content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and support from the administration. The study thus suggests professional development programmes and workshops for that employ reflective practices. Moreover, constructivist approaches should be designed to help teachers to enhance their content, pedagogical content knowledge about environmental education, and that should develop them professionally.

کیفی ؔاعظمی

کیفیؔ اعظمی
مشہور و مقبول ترقی پسند اور اردو کے انقلابی شاعر جناب کیفی اعظمی ۱۰؍ مئی کو صبح ساڑھے چھ بجے ممبئی کے جس لوک اسپتال میں انتقال کرگئے جہاں سانس کی تکلیف کی وجہ سے دو ماہ پہلے داخل ہوئے تھے، ۱۱؍ مئی کو اندھیری ویسٹ کے چار بنگلہ قبرستان میں سپرد خاک کئے گئے۔
کیفی صاحب ۱۹۱۸؁ء میں اعظم گڑھ کی تحصیل پھول پور کے ایک گاؤں مجواں کے زمین دار شیعہ گھرانے میں پیدا ہوئے، ان کے والد جناب سید فتح حسین رضوی اودھ کی ریاست بلہرا میں تحصیل دار تھے۔ کیفی صاحب کا اصلی نام سید اطہر حسین رضوی تھا، یہ سات بھائی بہن تھے، بڑے بھائیوں نے انگریزی تعلیم حاصل کی تھی، ان کو ان کے والد بزرگوار نے عربی تعلیم دلانے کے لیے فرقہ شیعہ کی مشہور درس گاہ سلطان المدارس لکھنو میں داخل کرایا مگر ان کا جی یہاں نہیں لگا، غالباً مدرسے کی سخت گیری اور مذہبی شدت پسندی سے گھبرا کر انہوں نے تعلیم ہی نہیں چھوڑی بلکہ مذہب سے بھی برگشتہ ہوگئے، اور غالباً آخر تک رہے، تاہم مدرسہ کی تعلیم کو خیر باد کہنے کے باوجود انہوں نے لکھنو اور الٰہ آباد کی یونیورسٹیوں سے مشرقی امتحانات دیئے اور اپنی ذاتی محنت و مطالعہ سے اپنی استعداد بڑھائی، اردو فارسی کے علاوہ غالباً وہ عربی، ہندی اور سنسکرت سے بھی واقف تھے۔
کیفی اعظمی کا طرۂ امتیاز ان کی شاعری ہے جس کو اس کے مخصوص لب و لہجہ ، باغیانہ تیور اور انقلابی افکار و خیالات کی بنا پر بہت پسند کیا گیا، ان کے گھر میں پہلے ہی سے شعر و سخن کا چرچا تھا، اردو ہی نہیں فارسی کا ذوق بھی عام تھا، ان کے تینوں بڑے بھائی بھی شاعری کا مذاق رکھتے تھے اور صاحب بیاض تھے، خاندانی کتب خانے...

اردو ناول میں سماجی شعور

The present research is an analysis of 'Social Consciousness in Urdu Novels'. An attempt has been made to review how social changes emerging in different periods provided food for through to novelists. The period included for this research extends from the beginning of Urdu Novel to the end of 19th Century. The focus of the research is those social changes that took place after the War of Independence of 1857 in the Indian society, under the influence of the West. This was a transitory period when old and new traditions, both, co- existed; and which were equally reflected in Urdu Novel. Since the very beginning of 20th Century, defensive attitude changed into a more aggressive sentiment, and newer visions of nationhood. This evolution of thought and attitude strongly influenced Indian culture. The researcher has tried to trace this 'consciousness' and the resultant social changes from the beginning of 20th Century till the creation of Pakistan (1947). The new social set up of post-partition days was dominated by class conflicts and influenced by Islamic thought. As such, the 'social consciousness' of the society that emerged after Pakistan's independence was different from that of its predecessors. The researcher has discussed this 'Social Consciousness' in the perspective of novels written during that period. The research is a journey through the social changes that occurred and influenced Urdu Novel from its beginning to the 20th Century and a critical analysis of their conscious and unconscious expression in Urdu Novel.
