Development is implicit at every stage of appraisal irrespective of the approach; be it developmental (formative) or accountable (summative) (Bollington, Hopkins & West, 1993). If properly constructed and presented; the performance appraisal system can improve professional development of teachers, the management of the school, and students' learning outcomes. The focus of this study was to unpack the influences of performance appraisal on teachers' professional development. This study was conducted in one of the private schools in Karachi, Pakistan; and it involved ten participants, six appraisees, three appraisers and one reviewer. Data were collected using exploratory nature case study within the qualitative paradigm of research. Interviews and the document analysis were the major source of data collection. As a result of qualitative data analysis, the study has generated some findings related to the influence of performance appraisal on teachers' professional development. The study revealed that appraisees unanimously identified the purpose of appraisal as a summative assessment of teachers' performance for making administrative decisions such as; deciding annual increment and making teachers more accountable to school rule and regulations. The suggestions made by appraisees confirmed that the teachers did not perceive that there was a link between appraisal and the professional development of teachers. In contrast, the appraisers collectively considered performance appraisal as a tool to appreciate teachers' potentials and to identify areas for further enhancement. In addition, the findings of the study further suggest that the process of performance appraisal influences relations within teachers, and between teachers and supervisors negatively if handled in a less professional way. The findings of this study also suggest that a system of shared, informed and mutually agreed policy on performance appraisal should be developed by involving all key contributors and disseminated to all teachers to make the process clearer to all. This is also important to strengthen trust between teachers and the management of the school. The findings of this study may provide a useful insight to schools i.e. those who are in the process to introduce performance appraisal, or are reviewing their appraisal system and policies.

خواجہ غلام السیدین
افسوس ہے ہماری بزم علم وادب کی پرانی شمعیں ایک ایک کرکے اٹھتی جا رہی ہیں۔چنانچہ گزشتہ ماہِ دسمبر کی ۱۹؍کوخواجہ غلام السیّدین بھی ہم سے جُدا ہوگئے۔ مرحوم مولانا حالیؔ کے نواسہ تھے اورحق یہ ہے کہ اس رشتہ کاجامہ مرحوم کے قامت موزوں پرایسا راست آیا کہ خاندانوں میں اس کی مثالیں کم ہی ملیں گی۔ وہ نوعمری میں علی گڑھ کے ٹریننگ کالج کے نامور پرنسپل ہوئے۔اس کے بعد رامپور ،کشمیر اور بمبئی میں حکومت کے مشیر تعلیم کے عہدہ پر فائز رہے۔آزادی کے بعد مرکزی وزارت تعلیم میں سکریٹری ہوئے۔اوراس عہدہ سے پنشن پائی۔لیکن سچ یہ ہے کہ یہ سب عہدے ان کے علمی و ادبی درجہ ومقام سے فروتر تھے۔ وہ انگریزی اور اردو دونوں زبانوں کے بلند پایہ ادیب اور مقرر تھے۔ پچاسوں مقالات کے علاوہ انگریزی اور اردو میں متعدد وقیع کتابیں ان کی یادگار ہیں۔ اگرچہ تعلیم اور اس کافلسفہ ان کاخاص موضوع تھا لیکن تاریخ اورمذہب سے بھی فطری لگاؤ تھا۔
بڑی بات یہ ہے کہ فکرو نظر کااعتدال و توازن بلا کا تھا۔وہ قدامت پرستوں میں ترقی پسند تھے اورترقی پسندوں میں قدامت پرست۔ تحریر و تقریر دونوں میں بڑا رچاؤ اور رکھ رکھاؤ تھا، اس بناپر ہر طبقہ میں قدرومنزلت کی نگاہ سے دیکھے جاتے تھے۔ان کو بین الاقوامی شہرت حاصل تھی، چنانچہ ملازمت سے سبکدوش ہونے کے بعد امریکہ، کناڈا اور یورپ میں بار بار وزٹنگ پروفیسر ہوکر گئے۔ آخرزمانہ میں اسلامیات کی طرف انہماک زیادہ ہوگیاتھا اوراس سلسلہ میں جب کبھی انہیں کوئی اشکال ہوتا راقم الحروف کو لکھتے تھے اور جواب سے خوش ہوتے تو اس کااظہار ایک مستقل خط کے ذریعہ کرتے تھے۔نہایت مہذب ،خوش طبع اور کریم النفس انسان تھے۔عمر ۶۷ کے لگ بھگ پائی ۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت و بخشش کی نعمتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے۔اب تہذیب اورشائستگی کے...

پاکستانی دینی مدارس و عصری تعلیمی اداروں کا سماجی تشکیل میں کردار: فقہ السیرۃ کے تناظر میں

Pakistan came into being on 14th August 1947 A.D/27th Ramazan 1366 A.H. According to the constitution of Pakistan its full name is “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”)اپاتسکن وہمجرہی االسیم.)After its existence many rulers and Citizens of Pakistan established a number of Educational Institutions. These institutions are of three types: 1. Governmental, Public Sector Educational Institutions from Primary to University level and Model Deeni Madaris. 2. Semi Government Educational Institutions. 3. Private Sector Institutions including religious Institutions. In all education policies of Pakistan, the major content was to produce patriotic, religious and well-mannered citizens for this Country. In this research article the efforts and activities of religious and educational Institutes of Pakistan will be described, who are playing their role to establish a Welfare Society in the light of Seerah.

Fabrication and Evaluation of Various Polymeric Matrices for the Formulation of Once-A-Day Controlled Release Tablets of Some Aryl-Propionic Acid Analogs.

The main objectives of this research were to synthesize and evaluated some novel functionalized polymers to fabricate, formulate and evaluate in various polymeric matrices of once a day controlled release tablets of Propionic acid analogs, mainly Ibuprofen, Flurbiprofen and Ketoprofen and preparation and development of nanoparticles drug delivery systems to study their release pattern, rate and the involved mechanism in release process of the drug and to develop and evaluate such sustained release drug formulations which can be used less frequent and with more patient compliance. Three new polymers were synthesized including PGA, PGA- co-caprolactone and PGA-co-pentadecalactone. The polymer backbone consisting of two ester-linked, non-toxic, biological monomers, glycerol and polyvinyl adipate, was prepared using a hydrolytic enzyme. A novel polymeric prodrug was also developed by coupling a model drug, Ibuprofen, to polyester, poly (glycerol-adipate-co-pentadecalactone), via ester linkage. Ibuprofen-loaded nanoparticles were also prepared. The polymers, conjugate and nanoparticles were evaluated and characterized by GPC, NMR, FT-IR, U.V, and DSC. Among the three polymers, the particles of Ibuprofen coupled with poly (glycerol-adipate-co- pentadecalactone) showed a burst release followed thereafter by very slow release into pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. Solubility of the drugs was checked by the use of UV. Spectrophotometer (1601-Shimadzu. Japan) as described by the method of Higuchi and Connors. In this preformulation study, six solvents were used including Phosphate buffers of pH 7.4, 7.2 and 6.8, 0.1 N NaoH, 0.1 N HCl solution and distilled water.
