The study reported in this thesis has the following major objectives: (i) to find out effect of emotional
literacy on academic achievement in terms of experimental group and control group (ii) to find out the
difference of treatment effect between the students of low achievers group and high achievers group
(iii) To find out difference regarding treatment effect in terms of students of experimental group and
control group on the basis of variable emotional intelligence. The researcher selected 60 students of
10th class of Government Boys High School, Isa Khel (Mianwali District).
The sample was equally divided into the experimental group and the control group. Both the groups
were equated on the basis of the scores of 9th class in the Board examination (treated as pre-test). A
pre-test for emotional intelligence was also administered to find out emotional quotient (EQ) of the
experimental and the control group. A curriculum of emotional literacy consisted of Chapters 4-9 taken
from Goleman’s book entitled: “Working with Emotional Intelligence” was taught as treatment to the
experimental group. A short syllabus (Appendix-D) from Urdu Book (Part II) for 10th class was taught
to both experimental and control groups in a combined class by the same teacher. The study lasted for
twelve weeks. After twelfth week, two separate post-tests (one for academic achievement and other for
emotional intelligence) were administered to the both experimental and control groups.
Data were collected, tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted in the light of the objectives of study. Data
were analyzed by applying t-test and (2x2) ANOVA. The findings of the study revealed that there is a
considerable effect of emotional literacy on the academic achievement of the students at secondary
level. It was also found that emotional literacy has improved emotional intelligence of the students.
Moreover, it was found that emotional literacy was equally helpful and effective for both high achievers
and the low achievers. Finally, on the basis of the findings of the study, the researcher put forward some
feasible and practicable suggestions/ recommendations in this area.
It is recommended to include emotional literacy in the curriculum as a compulsory subject, particularly
at secondary level. Emotional education may be utilized in solving the issues of problematic behaviors
of the children in the schools. The managers of educational institutions may monitor teaching learning
process with a view to implementing emotional literacy policy. A special curriculum model suitable for
the subject of emotional literacy may be devised. Moreover, public awareness regarding the importance
of emotional literacy should be increased by using mass media. Emotional literacy should be made an
important element of professional training of teachers, managers, curriculum developers. For further
research it is recommended that the present study needs to be replicated with students and schools at
larger scale and context. The association of Emotional Quotient (EQ) with Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is
another aspect which needs to be addressed.

Pakistan is an Ideological country, there are only two ideological states in the world. First one was Madinah (Saudi Arabia) and the second one is Pakistan. Political situation in our country is worst. There is no any stability in political situation. From its existence Pakistan is facing different problems and issues. In this research article, will try to draw reasons and will table solutions to get political stability in Pakistan.
The study engaged six secondary chemistry teachers in analysis of text and visuals of some selected topics of chemical bonding and acids and bases in Sindh Textbook Board’s grade nine chemistry textbook. The purpose of analysis was to explore gaps in the selected text and visuals. Along with analysis teachers’ views about improvement of the selected text and visuals were also collected. Furthermore, the study explored students’ difficulties with the selected text and visuals. The study used qualitative exploratory study design. The data collection tools used were questionnaires and focus group interviews. Separate questionnaires for teachers and students were developed by the researcher. The study engaged six chemistry teachers from four different schools of Karachi (three government and one private) and twelve grade nine students from another government girls’ high school of Karachi. The major findings from teachers revealed that some text of the selected concepts in the textbook lacked adequate explanation. These concepts are: (a) introduction to chemical bond formation (b) electrostatic nature of covalent bond (c) development of charge on ions (d) limitations of Arrhenius and Lowery-Bronsted models of acids & bases (e) some scientific terms like delocalization, concept of litmus etc. The study also found that the explanation of the selected concepts given in text lacked inclusion of students’ previous knowledge and analogies. It was also discovered during the study that absence of sub-microscopic level and macroscopic level diagrams about given chemical reactions of acids and bases made the concept difficult for the students. Students were also found struggling with dot and cross diagrams and high use of scientific language in text. The study recommends textbooks writers to include the important information and explanations of the concepts in the text that has been found missing during this study. Moreover, it is also recommended to textbook writers that incorporation of students’ previous knowledge, analogies, macroscopic and sub-microscopic level visuals about chemical equations is made in the text. Similarly, textbook writers are recommended to use simple language in text for explaining chemical concepts rather than using a lot of scientific terms. Furthermore, teachers are recommended to provide that important content to students during teaching which is missing in textbook.
