This qualitative study, where I was involved as a researcher and mentor, with two primary school mathematics teachers, who were in the beginning of their first year, describes the mentoring process in a particular setting. I conducted the study with the research participants in their classrooms during seven-week fieldwork. The data comes from semi-structured interviews (pre and post fieldwork), descriptive and reflective field notes, audiotape transcripts and teachers' journals. I played different roles such as: a support teacher, demonstrator/teacher and a critical friend. The findings of the study show that in a context like Pakistan, where teachers often enter the teaching profession without any professional training, need support not only in pedagogy and classroom management, but also in subject matter content as well. In the context of the mentor-mentee relationship, support from an experienced teacher seemed to enable them to address the challenges that they face. The study further sheds light on a mentor-mentee relationship and the roles that a school based mentor plays in supporting beginning teachers. Mentoring, in the untrained beginning teachers' context seems to be more enactive and supportive relationship rather than an advisory one, but the question still remains whether or not schools can afford to have mentors for professional development of the beginning teachers.

ماہرؔ القادری

 ماہرؔ القادری
جناب ماہر القادری کی وفات کی خبر سے بہت ہی دل گیر اور دل فگار ہوکر جب یہ تحریر لکھنے بیٹھا ہوں تو کراچی کی ساری علمی و ادبی مجلسیں یاد آرہی ہیں۔
کراچی بارہا جانے کا اتفاق ہوا، وہاں کی ممتاز شخصیتوں کی یادوں کی قندلیں روشن کرتا رہتا ہوں، ان میں بہت سے اﷲ کو پیارے بھی ہوگئے، اختر جونا گڑھی مرحوم یاد آتے ہیں، ان کی کتاب ’’طبقات الامم‘‘ دارالمصنفین سے شائع ہوئی تھی، معارف میں مولانا شبلیؒ پر اچھے مضامین لکھے، وہ بزرگ محترم مولانا سید ابوظفر ندوی مرحوم کے ساتھ جونا گڑھ سے شہاب رسالہ بھی نکالا کرتے تھے، دارالمصنفین کے بڑے قدردان رہے، وہ جس محبت سے کراچی میں ملے اس کی یاد برابر باقی رہے گی، ان ہی کے یہاں کھانے پر حفیظ ہوشیار پوری مرحوم سے ملا تھا، ان کے پرکیف نغمہ شعری سے بھی محظوظ ہوا تھا، ان کی محبت بھری باتوں میں بڑی کیفیت تھی، ممتاز حسن مرحوم (ریٹائرڈ سکریٹری محکمہ فنانس حکومت پاکستان) یاد آتے ہیں تو ان کی علم نوازی، کرم گستری اور دوست پروری کے معطر اور نکہت بیز پھولوں کے بار سے دبتا چلا جاتا ہوں، ایک رات جناب جمیل عالی کے دستر خوان پر میں جناب ممتاز حسن مرحوم، ابن انشاء مرحوم اور یادش بخیر پیر حسام الدین راشدی کے ساتھ شریک ہوا، رات کو ایک بجے تک علمی و ادبی باتیں ہوتی ہیں، وہ رات بھی کیسی حسین اور بہار آفریں تھی، ممتاز حسن مرحوم ایک تناور سایہ دار علمی برگد تھے، اسی کے چھاؤں کے نیچے کراچی کے ارباب علم جمع ہوتے اور ان کے سایہ عاطفت میں اپنے علمی و ادبی ذوق کو پھلتے پھولتے محسوس کرتے، جناب ابن انشاء مجلسوں میں ملتے اور خاموش بنے رہتے، مگر اخبار کے کالم میں شب برات کی پھلجڑی اور...

Effects of Sand-Shale Anisotropy on Ava Based Reservioir Characterization

Conventionally, AVO/AVA method is widely being used for reservoir characterization process on the assumption of isotropic (earth) medium. Seismic anisotropy is considered to produce first order effect upon the amplitudes of seismic wave, but this effect is often ignored during AVA studies for ease of processing, which may give unrealistic reservoir characterization results. The principal objective in this research work is to estimate the seismic anisotropy of a composite sand shale reservoir and incorporate it into AVA studies for accurate and improved reservoir charterization. A further aim of this work is to give complete workflow for the charaterziation of such reservoirs and its application to the real data from a gas prone field in Pakistan. The main elements of AVA based reservoir characterization of composite sand shale anisotropic medium include forward (rock physics and seismic modelling) and inverse modelling (recovering the spatial distribution of crucial reservoir properties). An anistropic composite sand shale medium can be characterized by five independent elastic constants either in the form of stiffness constants or two vertical velocities and three anisotropy coefficients. These five elastic constants for dry porous media has been estimated using anistropic effective medium theory in the contaxt of rock physics modelling. The input to rock physics modelling is obtained via petrophysical analysis of available wireline log data. The effective elastic constants obtained from rock physics modelling for composite sand shale medium is used for seismic AVA modelling of composite sand shale anisotropic medium in the form of angle-dependent refelection coefficients and/or seismic AVA data by using approximate and exact PP- reflection coefficients solution. During seismic inversion phase of reservoir characterization process, Bayesian inversion approach has been adapted to recover/invert the important reservoir parameters (porosity, volume of shale and water saturation) from AVA data and to carry out uncertainty analysis associated with these estimates. Our AVA modelling and analysis results on Sawan area under isotropic conditions show that seismic AVA modelling provides a strong relationship between porosity and reflection amplitude for all offset (or incident angle) ranges. From fluid saturation variation modelling it is evident that changes in water saturation do not change the AVA effect significantly which is further substantiated by investigation of CDP gathers. The seismic AVA modelling for different porosity/saturation values suggest that AVA analysis is prone to find porous sands rather than gas saturated sands. The same is shown by AVA crossplot between intercept and gradient which point out high porosity zones rather than high gas saturations. The results from our complete workflow applied on composite sand shale medium (in which shale is present in the form of lenses creating anisotropy) suggest that one can recover Vshale even at higher amount of uncertainty in AVA data, as the peak for marginal distribution lies mostly around the true value. For small amount of uncertainty in AVA data, our workflow gives reliable estimates for Sw, but as the noise increases in AVA data, it becomes difficult to recover Sw. The results from application of our workflow on C-sand reservoir of Sawan area (shale is present in the form of layers creating anisotropy) show that anisotropy effects are more pronounced in stratigraphic intervals where interbedded shales are relatively thick within reservoir sand (Sawan-06 well).The exact solution for VTI media provided by Daley and Horn’s (1977) is one with the highest potential for performing AVA inversion in sand shale composite medium with weak to strong anisotropy. We have demonstrated this fact by completing a numerical synthetic experiment for recovering porosity distributions through the Lower Goru C-sand reservoir.
