In developing countries like Pakistan, learning mathematics in schools is considered to be different from using it in daily life situations primarily because, approaches to teaching and learning mathematics sometimes do not encourage pupils to see connections between the two. Therefore, pupils often find it difficult to solve their daily life mathematical problems inspite of studying mathematics for several years in schools. In order to explore, how can the teacher relate the teaching of mathematics to pupils' daily life experiences (DLE)?, I conducted a study embedded in qualitative inductive research paradigm, in one of the primary schools in the private sector in Karachi, working with two mathematics teachers and 86 pupils of grade 4. The study consisted of three phases (entry negotiation, pre intervention, and intervention). The main purpose of the study was to find out how concrete experiences from DLE can make mathematical learning less abstract, and help pupils see connections between learning of mathematics in schools and its use in their daily life situations. The ongoing process of data analysis and interpretation was based on the predetermined major themes related to the research questions followed by sub themes emerged from the data collected. The study identifies some of the major issues concerning the teaching of mathematics through pupils' DLE. One of the findings suggests that the use of pupils' DLE in the teaching of mathematics as concrete mathematical representation helps them learn mathematics with understanding. On the basis of the findings this study puts forward some recommendations in relation to the teaching of mathematics. With additional professional support, teachers can design mathematical activities from pupils' DLE such as shopping, sports and so on. These activities can be used to relate the teaching of mathematics to pupils' DLE ensuring the relational mathematical understanding.

اردو زبان کا آغاز و ارتقا

موضوع 10:اردو زبان کا آغاز و ارتقا
کسی زبان کے آغاز اور ارتقاء کی داستان کچھ مخصوص تہذیبی اور معاشرتی حالات سے جڑی ہوتی ہے۔ زبان اپنی ترقی یافتہ شکل اختیار کرنے سے پہلے مختلف مراحل سے گزرتی ہے۔ اسے رنگ و روپ دینے اور نکھارنے میں مختلف عوامل کار فرما ہوتے ہیں۔ اردو زبان جو آج کی چند ترقی یافتہ اور کثرت سے بولی جانے والی زبانوں میں سے ایک ہے اسے بھی معرض وجود میں آنے سے قبل مختلف مراحل سے گزرنا پڑا۔ ان مختلف مراحل اور تہذیبی اور معاشرتی عوامل کو سمجھنے کے لئے ہمیں ماضی کی طرف پلٹنا ضروری ہے۔
جیسا کہ تاریخ کے مطالعے سے پتہ چلتا ہے کہ ہندوستان کے قدیم باشندے دراوڑ تھے۔آریا قوم باہر سے آئی اور مقامی باشندوں کو پیچھے دھکیل کر ملک پر قابض ہو گئی۔آریا قوم ملک پر ایک نئی تہذیبی طاقت بن کر ابھری۔ ان کی زبان کو مرکزی حیثیت حاصل ہوئی۔ مقامی باشندوں سے میل جول کی وجہ سے آریاؤں کی زبان متاثر ہونے لگی اور بہت سے الفاظ کا تلفظ کچھ سے کچھ ہو گیا۔ آریاؤں نے اپنی زبان کو محفوظ رکھنے کے خیال سے اسے قواعدی اصولوں سے جکڑ دیا اور اپنی زبان میں صرف ٹکسالی الفاظ باقی رکھے۔مقامی اثرات اس سے پاک و صاف ہو کر ان کی زبان نے اپنا ایک معیار برقرار رکھا اور اسی معیاری زبان کو سنسکرت کا نام دیا گیا۔
اس زبان کو کافی فروغ حاصل ہوا لیکن اس کا رشتہ عوام سے کٹ گیا گیا اور ایک مخصوص دائرے تک سمٹ کر رہ گئی۔ عوام کی زبان مختلف علاقوں میں تھوڑے سے فرق کے ساتھ ایک رسم الخط میں موجود رہیں اس زبان کو پراکرت کا نام دیا گیا۔ پراکرت زبان برابر ترقی کرتی رہی اور مختلف علاقوں میں مختلف روپ اختیار کرتی رہی۔ آگے...

Dynamics of Chinese Foreign Policy: A Case of India and Pakistan Relations 2000-2014

Chinese Foreign policy is of vital importance in the South Asian region which in turn carries highly significant prominence in defining the course of events that affect the contours of international political order. The strategic importance of the region centers on the fact that it is the gateway to the Indian Ocean which is known as the energy jugular of global trade.The changing political dynamics of South Asia particularly in relation with Pakistan and India, the two major nuclear capable actors, are also significant. In order to assess the foreign policy of China with two regional rivals a constructivist analysis is undertaken based on a rational actor model. A comparative rational analysis based on the five principles of coexistence i.e., respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, noninterference in each other‘s domestic affairs, equality and mutual cooperation is formulated along with strategic and economic policies of China towards India and Pakistan. This dissertation also analyzes the foreign policy of these actors namely China, Pakistan and India, to asses paradigm shifts in policy from 2000 to 2014. The thesis highlights changing trends on various economic and military levels to understand foreign policy.
