Formative assessment practices within schools are usually carried out in two dimensions; assigning assessment tasks to the students and providing feedback on the assigned tasks. To assess students’ learning or performance effectively, it is unavoidable to plan and manage all tasks or activities in a way that will ensure the very purpose of the intended assessment. This study aimed to explore and understand the existing feedback practices of teachers in a primary school on students’ homework. The study was carried out under the qualitative paradigm employing the case study method. Two teachers and ten students were involved as the study’s participants. The study revealed that the teachers used to assign homework to their students and provide feedback on the assigned work but in a narrower scope. The assigned homework essentially remained textbook oriented and feedback on it was less focused and of a traditional manner. Teachers’ provided feedback was comprised mostly with the direct form of corrective feedback and also in an inconsistent way. However, the study also explored the challenges which constrained the teachers in carrying out effective feedback practices. These challenges and obstacles obviously are: (a) inadequate professional training of teachers, (b) ineffective supervision of school administration, and (c) absence of clear institutional policy regarding homework and feedback. The study further explored that the teachers need to be acquainted with the proper knowledge of formative assessment and its techniques to carry out effective and purposeful feedback practices within classrooms. The existing feedback practices of teachers in lower grades seem unnecessarily corrective and lacking both purpose and focus on students’ work. The study suggests detailed and individualized feedback on students written drafts as well as a scaffolding assistance for students in lower grades. The study also endorses to assign homework to students consistently but according to their needs, ease and interest. The purposeful home tasks thus would make the feedback process more meaningful and advantageous for both students and teachers.

غلام محمد (گورنر جنرل پاکستان)

غلام محمد صاحب (گورنر جنرل پاکستان)
افسوس ہے کہ غلام محمد صاحب گورنر جنرل پاکستان نے ایک طویل علالت کے بعد انتقال کیا، وہ نہ صرف اپنے عہدوں بلکہ دل و دماغ کے لحاظ سے بھی اس دور کے نامور لوگوں میں تھے، خصوصاً مالیات کے بڑے ماہر تھے، ایک زمانہ میں حکومت ہند اور ریاست حیدرآباد میں فنانس کے بڑے بڑے عہدوں پر ممتاز رہے تھے اور ہر جگہ اپنی مہارت فن کا ثبوت دیا، پاکستان کی گورنر جنرلی کے زمانہ میں ان کی سیاسی اور دماغی قابلیتیں نمایاں ہوئیں، چنانچہ انھوں نے بڑے نازک موقعوں پر پاکستان کی حکومت کو اپنی ہوشمندی اور قوت سے خطرات سے بچایا اور اس کے استحکام کی کوشش کی، گو ان کے بعض اقدام آمرانہ تھے، لیکن پاکستان جیسے ڈاواں ڈول سیاست والے ملک کے لیے ایسے ہی مضبوط لیڈر بلکہ ایک اچھے ڈکٹیٹر کی ضرورت ہے، اس کے بغیر اس کو استحکام نہیں ہوسکتا۔
ان کی قابلیتوں کے ساتھ ان کی ذات مختلف حیثیتوں سے بڑی غنیمت تھی، وہ پنجابی تھے لیکن ان کی تعلیم علی گڑھ میں ہوئی تھی، پھر ملازمت کے سلسلہ میں عرصہ تک دلی اور لکھنو میں رہے، اس لیے اس صوبہ کے لوگوں سے ان کے بڑے تعلقات تھے، پنڈت جواہر لال نہرو بھی ان کے دوستوں میں تھے، اس لیے قدرۃً اس کا اثر دونوں ملکوں کی سیاست پر بھی پڑتا تھا، چنانچہ غلام محمد صاحب مرحوم کی گورنر جنرلی کے زمانہ میں دونوں ملک ایک دوسرے کے بہت قریب آگئے تھے، جس کی توقع نئے اور اجنبی لوگوں سے نہیں ہوسکتی، مذہبی حیثیت سے راسخ العقیدہ بلکہ خوش عقیدہ مسلمان تھے، حج و زیارت سے بھی مشرف ہوئے تھے، حاجی وارث علی قدس سرہ سے ان کو بڑی عقیدت تھی، چنانچہ اپنی گورنر جنرلی کے زمانہ میں وہ ان کے مزار...

Muatan Konten Lokal pada Materi Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris di SMP Negeri 5 Sigi

Based on the 2013 curriculum 2016’s revision, there are subject materials that demand about local content in English subjects at the level of SMP Class VII. Teachers need many researches and practices integrating and implementating these subjects. Basically,   it needs to be done in-depth study in the form of content analysis. This research was conducted on content and learning English in SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. This study aims to find out 1) how many percentage of local content in English lesson material Class VII SMP in the curriculum 2013 revision 2016; 2) how to integrate local content in English subject matter in SMP Negeri 5 Sigi; 3) how the implementation of material with local content in English learning in SMP Negeri 5 Sigi, and; 4) how to integrate local content in effective and efficient English lessons in SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with the method of collecting document studies, interviews, and observation. The research results are 1) the proportion of local content that can be integrated into English language learning material SMP is 95%; 2) the integrity of local content in English learning materials in SMP Negeri 5 Sigi can be found in the lesson plan; 3) implementation of materials with local content in English learning attached to KTSP, Syllabus, lesson plan and learning resources enrichment book.

Search of Cotton Leaf Curl Vurl Tolerant Gene S by Differential Display

Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCuV) is mainly one of the ruthless cause of cotton damage in Pakistan for which, until now, no passable therapy is available. In my present work, the local tolerant cultivar of Gossypium hirsutum (CIM-482) was initially tested via cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuD) epidemiological studies using reported disease rating scale and molecular diagnostic PCR technique. A susceptible cotton cultivar (S-12) was also used as inoculum source during disease optimization and as positive control for CLCuV infection in molecular detection of CLCuV from experimental plants. Disease epidemiological studies and molecular diagnostics confirmed CIM-482 as highly tolerant and S-12 as highly susceptible cotton variety. For the identification of CLCuV inducible genes, comparison of gene expression between control and tolerant plants was carried out using Differential Display Reverse Transcriptase PCR (DDRT) approach. Screening through 99 primer-pair combinations of 15 arbitrary and 12 anchored primers resulted in up-regulation of 42 cDNA transcripts from the tolerant samples which consistently displayed high differential intensity in comparison to control under disease stress. Only 18 differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) ranging in size from 103-1145bp were screened out as induced gene fragments; the other 24 were abandoned since false positives through reamplification, cloning & sequencing. The identified transcripts are reported first time against CLCuV infectivity and submitted as novel ESTs to GenBank database with accession numbers JZ495600- JZ495613. Homology search revealed that out of 18 transcripts, 14 showed very significant homologies with reported gene/ protein sequences while the rest of 4 transcripts remained uncharacterized due to non-significant homology with any of the known genes/proteins. The mRNA expression profiling via real time PCR of DETs also revealed that most of the transcripts showed up-regulated expression in tolerant samples as compared to controls except that of DET3 (P2T6a) and DET10 (P5T4b) which showed non-significant expression in disease tolerance. On the basis of highly up-regulated expression profile of DET17, transposon filtration and significant homology of transcript DET17 (P9T6a) with Gossypium arboreum protein, supposedly involved against CLCuV disease, it was selected and full length gene, G. hirsutum DNA-binding disease resistance RPS2-like gene (GhRPS2), with accession number KR809372, amplification was carried out through RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends). A nucleotide sequence of 2677bp generated of 767 amino acids long open reading frame, which has 87.19kDa protein. It also has an upstream 5‟-UTR of 204bp and a downstream 3‟-UTR sequence of 169bp. The gene expression level was also confirmed and evaluated by real-time PCR which revealed high expression as compared to CLCuV diseased leaves. The genomic DNA PCR of full-length gene revealed that no introns were detected in the protein encoding sequence of GhRPS2 gene. Gene homology studies using bioinformatics tools depicted that GhRPS2 protein possessed high percentage similarity within the same taxon ranging from 98% to 92% with predicted disease resistance proteins of Gossypium spp. (G. hirsutum, G. arboreum and G. raimondii). It also exhibited 85% similarity with predicted bHLH transcription factors of above mentioned Gossypium spp. These percentage similarities are elevated enough for consideration of GhRPS2 protein to be DNA-binding protein family member, conferring disease resistance. The consensus sequences of two functional protein domains were found in the GhRPS2 protein .i.e., Leucine rich-repeat (LRR) domain and basic-helix loop helix (bHLH) DNA-binding protein domain. InterProScan results revealed the predicted GhRPS2 protein to be a member of transcription factor-related protein family. The diverse online sub cellular localization servers depicted that GhRPS2 protein might be localized in nucleus and cell membrane. The functional annotation of GhRPS2 sequence via Blast2Go analysis revealed its significant homology with disease resistance RPS-2 like protein of Gossypium arboreum (KHG12782). G. arboreum was also found to be the top hit species with highest similarity index. Functional annotation of full-length gene (GhRPS2) at molecular level depicted that it is involved mainly in binding activity with protein and nucleic acids, having dimerization capability for proteins and transcriptional regulation while binding with DNA. The signaling pathway map of GhRPS2 gene, identified using KEGG pathway database clearly indicated a signaling map related to plant-pathogen interactions. The likely function of GhRPS2 gene from this pathway map was revealed to be in the effector-triggered immunity. RPS2 gene (KEGG id: K13459) in combination with other defense related genes ultimately led to hypersensitive response (HR) which itself is a defense mechanism against pathogenic infections in plants. The tissue-specific expression profiling of GhRPS2 gene via real-time PCR from leaf, root & stem tissues which clearly displayed high expression of GhRPS2 in leaf tissue in comparison to stem and roots.
