This research focused on students' learning of mathematical rules with reasoning. This includes studying the process of students' learning, how they make meanings of the mathematical rules they have learnt, how they relate, and the factors which enhance learning with reasoning. I worked with four students (grade six) with mixed ability from a private school. I engaged them in mathematical tasks for one hour outside of their classroom situation. Sessions were planned for twice a week for five weeks using the tasks designed on four basics rules of fractions, addition of fractions, subtraction of fractions, multiplication of fractions, and division of fractions. My role was dual in nature, that of a researcher as well as teacher. After determining the student’s prior knowledge of fractions in introductory sessions, I designed activities pertaining to the four rules of fractions. I used qualitative approaches for generating data. The main sources of data generation were field notes, audio tapes, observations, and students' work. My analysis started from the first day in form of analytical memos. I categorized themes through 'mapping method'. My biggest learning during this study was to learn about the factors which enhance students' leaning of mathematical rules with reasoning. This particular study provided me important insights, which influenced students learning. For example, role of teachers' questioning, role of concrete material and pictorial representations, role of conducive environment in the classroom and the role of students misconceptions and their prior knowledge. This study also discusses some of my learning as a teacher, teacher educator and as a researcher. On the basis of the findings the study makes significant recommendations to the community of teachers and teacher educators.

لگدی اے انج تاں پیاری حیاتی

لگدی اے انج تاں پیاری حیاتی
کیڈی اے دکھاں دی ماری حیاتی
جدوں موت دا سانوں آندا اے سدّا
اگوں دی کردی تیاری حیاتی
دکھاں تے بھکھاں دے اندر جو گزرے
کھلے توں ایہو جئی ماری حیاتی
بڑا مان اوس نوں ہے دنیا دے اتے
پر موت اگے ہے ہاری، حیاتی
خوباں دی مستی جے تھوڑی جئی ہووے
مٹھی تاں نہیں پر کراری حیاتی
روندی پئی اے جو اولادِ آدم
روندا رہیا سی اوہ ساری حیاتی
کی رب اگے جا کے عمل سوہنے دیسیں
ستاں جو رہیا ایں ساری حیاتی

Integration of Health Topics to Enhance Health Related Vocabulary in English Language Teaching at Early Primary Level

This study focuses on the use of integrated health topics and health-related vocabulary in English language teaching. Action research was used as the research design for carrying out this study. A range of data collection method was used. These included: through questionaires and interviews with pupils, teachers and critical friend. The research was conducted in one of the private schools of Karachi. The study finds the importance of learning major vocabulary of health literacy and their integration in academic system in early primary classroom. 3D strategy (drill, drama, dialogue) was used to help participants group develop health related vocabulary in the English language class. Content analysis was used to process the collected data analysis was further interpreted with the contextual information was used to support the anlaysis and interpretation regarding educational setting in which the research was carried out and carried out and contextual material (lesson plans, teaching material, audio and video recordings along with the impact of 3D strategy). The research findings show that the integration of health topics in ELT using the 3D strategy to enhance health vocabulary did serve as helpful working framework for discussing both the challenges of low health literacy and identifying strategies for addressing the problem of low health vocabulary in the light of 3D strategy in early primary classes. Although using health related vocabulary from the early primary years is a concept what may be new to many members of the healtcare community, it has quickly caught the attention of ECD practitioners, researchers, policy makers, medical people and clinicians due to its widespread impact on health and well-being. The finding lead to identifying areas of research needed to advance the conceptualization of health-related vocabulary development in the academic setting of early primary classrooms.
