Assessment for learning has been given prime importance in K-12 education across the countries. This study aimed to explore the assessment practices and perceptions of two grade IX Chemistry teachers in a Government secondary school Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The study adopted qualitative case study design, where data were generated through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings of this study highlight that the teachers perceive that effectiveness of assessment is determined by its potential to promote further learning. Such assessment practices not only improve student’ learning but also provide opportunities to teachers for reflection and improvement of their instruction. The participant teachers have knowledge about number of formative assessment techniques to gauge students’ learning during the class. Among them, questioning and feedback were the two key elements of participant teachers’ assessment practices. Teachers argued that extensive reason based questioning for assessment purposes provided a venue to students to share their science conceptions in class and get feedback on them by fellow students and teachers to check whether their own conceptions are in line with established scientific ideas. The study also identified that the teachers were very concerned about monitoring students’ learning. However, teachers’ assessment practices are much influenced by the local board examinations which are mainly based on regurgitation and time bound paper-pencil tests. Because of expectations from parents and school management, teachers were obliged to train students to get high marks in the board examination. Therefore, it is recommended that the teachers’ assessment during the course of study should be given some weightage in the cumulative board examination results. Teachers should also be given professional development extensive repertoire of assessment techniques including use of ICT. There should be consultative dialogue with parents to make them understand the importance of students’ creative work which may not reflect through their marks and grades.

خلاصہ بحث

اسلام میں عبادات انسانی فطرت کے عین مطابق ہیں، ہر بچہ فطرتِ سلیمہ پر پیدا ہوتا ہے اور اس طرح ہر انسان فطرتاً اپنے خالق کے وجود کے اقرار کی طرف مائل ہوتا ہے۔ اسی فطری جذبے کو پروان چڑھانے اور اسی روحانی پہلو کو جلا بخشنے کے لیے عبادات مقرر کی گئی ہیں تاکہ انسان اپنی روحانی پیاس بجھا سکے۔ اسلام نے عبادات مقرر کرتے ہوئے انسانی زندگی کے حالات کو پیشِ نظر رکھا ہے اسی لیے راہبوں کی طرف دنیا سے الگ تھلگ ہو کر عبادت خانوں میں بند ہونے کی اجازت نہیں دی۔ ہر عبادت کی صورت اور طریقِ ادائیگی دوسرے سے مختلف ہے۔اپنی زندگی کو اللہ تعالیٰ کی شریعت اور اس کی مرضی کے مطابق گزارنے کا نام عبادت ہے۔ انسان کے تمام اعمال خواہ وہ دنیوی مفادات کے حصول کے لیے ہی کیے جائیں عبادت بن جاتے ہیں بشرطیکہ ان سے رضائے الٰہی مقصود ہو۔ اس فصل میں عبادات سے متعلقہ آیاتِ استفہام بیان کی گئی ہیں اور جو ان میں پوشیدہ حکمت جس مقصد کے لئے سوال کیے گئے ہیں اس کی وضاحت کی گئی ہے جو کہ درج ذیل ہیں:

عبادت تمام ظاہری اور باطنی اقوال اقوال و اعمال کو شامل ہے جنہیں اللہ تبارک و تعالیٰ پسند فرماتے ہیں اور اللہ تعالی ان سے راضی ہوتے ہیں عبادت ان تمام چیزوں سے بیزاری کا نام ہے جو اللہ تعالی کی رضا اور اللہ تعالی کی پسند کے خلاف ہو اور عبادت کے معنی ہیں کہ اللہ کی رضا کے لئے انتہائی عاجزی اور خشوع کا اظہار کرنا ، اللہ تعالی سے محبت کی یہ نشانی ہیں ہیں کہ انسان وہی چیز پسند کرے جو اللہ تبارک و تعالیٰ نے حکم دیا ہے اور اس چیز سے عداوت و نفرت رکھے جسے اللہ تبارک و تعالی...

حدود اور قصاص میں عورت كی گواہی

Dispensation of justice is a prerequisite for any society to move forward. The concept of justice encompasses whole spheres of life. The judicial system of Islam is based on a very strong footing. According to the Sharia, testimony is one means of proof. One aspect of it is 'evidence of woman' which has been discussed by the jurists in detail. According to the majority opinion, evidence of women is acceptable only in civil cases and Ta'azirat. , while it is not acceptable for the punishment of Hudood and Qisas. They have based their opinion on some verses of the Holy Quran and the Traditions, while there is a strong opinion of some other jurists that there is no restriction on the evidence of women in all kinds of cases. This article deals with the issue in which different opinions of the jurists have been presented with their arguments

A Stylistic Analysis of The Headlines of Leading Pakistani English Dailies

A Stylistic Analysis of The Headlines of Leading Pakistani English Dailies This research is based on the stylistics analysis of the headlines of Pakistan's English language newspapers. It is a purely descriptive study and has employed the theoretical framework of Chomsky's Transformational Generative Grammar. Many concomitant newspapers publish a common piece of news with stylistically different composition of words yet convey the same piece of information. This research has aimed to prove that newspaper headlines of Pakistani English dailies emerge under the influence of Noam Chomsky's Transformational Rules to produce quality headlines. In its philosophical aspect, this research is deductive and quantitative hence follows the positivist paradigm. A stylistic analysis of headlines of three Pakistani English dailies; Dawn, the News, and the Express Tribune, is conducted. The researcher has applied Chomsky's Transformational Processes (deletion, addition, substitution, rearrangement) (Chomsky N., 1967) and the Generative Transformations as stated by Nilsen in "Transformational Process; an oversimplified review" (Nilsen, 1977) on the headlines of the chosen dailies. He has found that the headlines are stylistically different yet represent the same piece of news, as Generative Transformations represent that a common idea or issue can be conveyed using stylistic variations. Headlines are compiled in the form of sets (34 sets) from the three dailies. The headlines of Dawn are used as untransformed headlines and are compared with the Express Tribune (Part I) and the News (Part II) as transformed headlines. Tree diagrams have been used to show the presence of transformations. ANOVA and T test are applied and sufficient evidence of the presence of stylistic transformationsisfound.ThissuccessfulpresenceofTransformationalProcessofGenerative Transformations has proved that the Transformational Generative Grammar is applicable to study that stylistic variations enable headlines of newspapers to share a common issue.
