Individual's ability to effectively cope with setbacks, persist, and overcome challenges and adversities is known as resilience. In the context of education, academic resilience among secondary school students of grade 9 Biology group can be developed through strategies, resources and supportive conditions that students, teachers, and parents can use to help reduce dropout rate and enhance motivation of students to attend schools. The study employed a qualitative research design, and a case study method to explore the perspectives of the participants. In depth, semi-structured interviews, field notes, observation checklist, snapshot of scenarios, local words (such as ta’lim-e quwwat-e bardasht) and pictures were used to engage in conversation to draw information from the respondents, regarding AR. The challenges to develop AR included, classroom size, and students own attitudes, their alienation from the academics, lack of innovation and novelty in teacher’s classroom pedagogies, and English language proficiency. Additionally, cultural and societal pressures included struggles affecting the students’ drive to become resilient both academically and generally. To cope with these multifaceted challenges faced by students, support and guidance are required to help students gain confidence and gradually improve their resilience. Without addressing these challenges, the problem of student’s dropout or staying in school without motivation to achieve, appear as an uphill battle. The implications for teachers, for parents, teacher educators, policy-makers and school leaders are many and suggest that developing students’ genuine academic resilience is a part of their overall resilience. Lastly, listening and involving students’ voices in developing their academic resilience is a central message of this study. The study presents some recommendations for future research to further explore this unexplored but vital for successful learning and living field.

شاہ آفاق احمد ردولوی

حضرت شاہ آفاق احمد ردولویؒ
درگاہ شریف، ردولی۔
محترمی! تسلیمات
خدا کرے آپ کا مزاج اچھا ہو، اس سے پہلے بھی میں دو خط آپ کو تحریر کرچکا ہوں مگر جواب سے محروم ہوں۔ خدا معلوم وہ خطوط آپ تک پہنچے بھی یا نہیں، میرے حقیقی ماموں حضرت شاہ آفاق احمد سجادہ نشین درگاہ شیخ العام ردولی شریف کا ۲۵؍ جولائی ۸۰؁ء کو اچانک میڈیکل کالج لکھنؤ میں قلبی دورہ پڑنے سے انتقال ہوگیا، ان کو پہلا دورہ ردولی شریف میں پڑا تھا اس کے بعد تین دورے میڈیکل کالج لکھنؤ میں پڑے، ڈاکٹروں نے پیس میکر لگانے کو کہا وہ بھی لگادیا گیا۔ مگر موت کے آگے اور خداوند عالم کی مرضی کے آگے کوئی اختیار نہیں چلتا، چونکہ اکثر بیشتر وہ آپ کا تذکرہ فرمایا کرتے تھے اسی لئے ان کی بیماری کی اطلاع بھی ۳۰؍ جون کو آپ کو اور وسیم الحسن صاحب کو بھی دے دی تھی، اس کے بعد ۲۸؍ جولائی کو انتقال کی بھی خبر تحریر کردی تھی، اسی سال عرس شریف کی ۱۴؍ تاریخ کی شب کی محفل میں اپنے بڑے صاحبزادے تمیم میاں صاحب مرحوم جن کا بھی اچانک بقرعید میں انتقال ہوا تھا ان کے بڑے صاحبزادے نیرمیاں کی دستار بندی اپنے ہاتھوں کردی تھی اور خرقہ شریف بھی انہیں کو پہنا دیا تھا، چونکہ نیرمیاں ابھی طالب علم ہیں اور بی۔کام کررہے ہیں، اس لئے ماموں صاحب مرحوم نے اپنے چھوٹے صاحبزادے حسین میاں کو نیرمیاں کا ولی اور سرپرست مقرر کردیا ہے، جو نیرمیاں کی جگہ پر سجادگی کے فرائض انجام دے رہے ہیں، مگر ابھی دونوں صاحبزادگان بچے ہیں آپ حضرات ہی ان کے سرپرست اور بزرگ ہیں، اس کم عمری میں ان کے اوپر اتنی بڑی ذمہ داری آپڑی ہے، لہٰذا آپ حضرات کی شفقت دیرینہ ہی ان کی تسلی کا باعث ہوگی، چہلم...

Strategies for Improving Memory in Students

Students generally have little to no understanding of the memory processes, resulting in an inability to study effectively. To perform better, it is imperative to take control of memory by understanding how memory works, how information can be committed to memory, and how forgetting can be avoided. Some insight into the cognitive load theory can also be applied to improve learning.

Natural Environmental Strategies by Corporations

Corporate environmentalism refers to the recognition by a corporation of the importance of environmental issues and how it integrates those issues into its strategy. A developing country provides a very different context with regard to environmental issues. The researcher has proposed an extended corporate environmentalism model and tested this model in a developing country, Pakistan. Six theories including Stakeholder Theory, Institutional approach, Strategic Fit, Slack Resource Theory, Agency Theory and Resource Based View were analyzed for development of extended corporate environmentalism model. The drivers of corporate environmental strategies were separated in internal and external factors. Internal drivers include issue legitimation, discretionary slack, employee concern, BOD concern and international experience while external drivers include regulatory forces, customer concern, competitive advantage, competitor concern, activists pressures and media concern. Top management commitment was taken as antecedent as well as mediator in the proposed model. Impact of industry type and corporation size on the proposed model was also analyzed. Data were collected through a questionnaires survey from 356 managers from organizations in a variety of industries from major cities of Pakistan. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was applied for model fit measures while Preacher and Hayes (2004) macro (syntax for SPSS) was used for mediation analysis. This study makes a contribution by identifying institutional pressures in the form of regulatory forces (coercive forces), issue legitimation (normative forces), competitive advantage and competitors (mimic forces) as important drivers for Pakistani organizations. Conversely, customer, media and activists are less effective drivers for corporate environmental strategies.
