This study aims to explore teachers' own classroom assessment with reference to the framework of AKU EB assessment and students' perceptions of teachers' assessment and examination board assessment. The teachers' and students' perceptions of classroom assessments and exam board annual assessment have been explored through questionnaire survey. Simultaneously, the document analysis of teachers' classroom assessment papers and the exam board annual assessment papers in English and Mathematics has also been carried out as these two subjects were the main focus of this research study. The samples were selected from three AKU-EB affiliated schools of district Hyderabad. The purposeful or purposive sampling method was used to gather meaningful data with the total of 160 research participants including 26 teachers and 134 students from all three schools. All research participants were requested to fill in the questionnaires, one for teachers and the other for students. Data were analysed by using SPSS to compute the percentages of the responses, the mean scores of all items and the pair t-tests for few items of teachers' and students' questionnaires. The results were later transformed into MS-Excel for further tabulations. The main findings of teachers' questionnaire are: their classroom assessment mainly focused on improving, enhancing, and monitoring students' learning. Teachers felt that their assessment motivated students by awarding them with grades and marks. There were differences between their perceptions of classroom assessment skills and the usage of the skills in their classroom practices, for example in designing essay type of questions, and in communicating students' results with parents and the school management. The main findings of students' questionnaire are: there were significant differences between students' perceptions of teachers' classroom assessments and the exam board annual assessment in terms of the levels of difficulty in the test items i.e. the types of MCQs, CRQs, and ERQs and the marks awarded from both assessments. Students felt that their school teachers mostly designed MCQs type of tests as compared to CRQs and ERQs.

اُنؐ کا ہے پیغام آفاقی اور مخاطب سب انسان

اُن ؐ کا ہے پیغام آفاقی اور مخاطب سب انسان
یہ پیغام سکوں ہے دل کا اور دماغ کا اطمینان

جس کا جی چاہے آ بیٹھے ، رُوح و چشم کی بھوک مٹے
اُنؐ کی سخاوت افلاکی ہے ساری زمین ہے دستر خوان

اللہ اللہ کیسے تھے اصحابؓ کہ جب بھی ملتے تھے
اک دُوجے سے پوچھتے رہتے کیسا آپ کا ہے ایمان

جنگ میں بوڑھے ، عورتیں ، بچے ، کھیت تلک محفوظ رہیں
اپنے ماننے والوں کو تھا پیارے نبیؐ کا یہ فرمان

دھیان مدینے کا جب ہو تو رُوح بھی بھیگنے لگتی ہے
اک سرشاری چھا جاتی ہے ، جیسے اُترا ہو نروان

ربّ چاہے تو پھر حاضر ہوں روضۂ اقدس پر ہم بھی
لب پہ سلام کے نغمے ہوں اور ہاتھ میں نعتوں کا دیوان

نامِ خدا پر ملک بنا تھا ، نامِ خدا پر قائم ہے
گنبدِ خضرا دیکھ رہا ہے خاص نظر سے پاکستان

ملازمت کے شرعی احکام: ایک تحقیقی جائزہ

In our society a large number of people are associated with employment ranging from a gatekeeper, soldier, peon, clerk to prime minister, chief of army staff (COAS) Journals, chief justice, secretary, chief minister, doctors and professors all are employees infect. Most of social problems are linked to them, if all of them do their work correctly and honestly then most of our issues can be solved easily. Furthermore growth and prosperity of our economic system is dependent on the betterment of employment. Nations who ever works and shows interest in improving the employment system are the one who pave road for their economic prosperity. As an ordinary person himself needs a worker, therefore if Islamic practices are promoted in different disciplines of employment in human life then Islamic orders will revive and its effect will be seen in other departments as well. Therefore this study focuses and tends to guide Muslims working in employment sector in our society. This will help employed persons not only to up bring the Islamic teachings as well as can be helpful for human beings to guide them about Islam. It will act as a set of guidance for people working in government and non-government organizations, so that an employee could earn a true living under sharia orders and be helpful in promoting and development of a better society.

A Comparative Study of Effects of Activity Based Teaching and Traditional Method Teaching in Mathematics at Elementary Level

This study entitled “A Comparative Study of Effects of Activity Based Teaching and Traditional Method Teaching in Mathematics at Elementary Level.” The objectives of the study were: i)To compare the students’ achievement taught through activity based method and the traditional teaching method in Mathematics subject ii) To check the retention power of students taught through activity based teaching iii) To identify the participation of students in activity based teaching iv) To find out the effectiveness of activity based teaching in Mathematics at elementary level v) To explain the potential role of activities in teaching Mathematics at elementary level vi) To enable the students to appreciate use of different terminologies of Geometry in their daily life and to suggest recommendations for conducting future research on the subject. The population of the study was consisted of all students of seventh class of Government Girls High School Bhedian Pattoki District Kasur. For selection of sample a pre-test was administered to all (76) students of class seventh in Govt. Girls High School Bhedian Pattoki District Kasur except ten students. Thirty students were assigned to experimental and thirty to control group on the basis of pre-test results comparing equal marks. In order to achieve the objectives of the study pre-test, post-test from the seventh class Mathematics Book prescribed by Punjab Text Book Board was developed to do the intervention and for data collection. Research tools (Pre-test, Post-test) were discussed with the teachers of Mathematics and were modified in the light of their opinion. The modified version was tried out on 10 students who were not included in the sample for pilot study and were further re-amended in term of difficulty level on the basis of pilot study. The Researcher personally taught both the groups (control and experimental). Independent sample t-test was applied to accept or reject a statement. Statistical analysis and interpretation of the test scores of experimental and control groups showed that activity-based teaching has a positive impact on the performance of the learners. It was found that students take more interest in the lesson if activities are used. There was a significant difference between the performance of experimental and control group after teaching Mathematics with activity-based teaching. The study concludes that with the help of activities teaching learning process can be facilitated and becomes more effective. Activities have proved to be of great importance in teaching learning process. Information provided through such teaching is concise and quick. Complex ideas can be understood with ease with the help of activity-based teaching. Activity based teaching stimulates a high degree of interest in the learners. They make the message clear.
