Those who can not work would not work. The employability skills and attributes are deliberated as a recurring feature of national policies on provision of effective education. This study investigated how individuals perceive, identify and address issues relating to their learning and employability. Schools are teaching youngsters without clear understanding of what professions will be invented by the time they will reach an age to work. The lifelong employability is no longer guaranteed by the education and training received in childhood and youth. The continuous restructuring and cost-cutting approaches frequently result into layoffs leading towards a job recession in global economy. This has increased the importance of up-to-date skills and competences to prepare the people for a more uncertain future, with many careers and more frequent changes in job roles. Due to relatively high positions in organizations the managers can easily foresee and predict changes in job market. They are an appropriate group to study self-direction and self management with regard to learning. Hence, the significance of free agent learning for employability of managers seems a relevant object for study. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire from about 250 managers working across various functional areas in different banks based at selected cities of Pakistan. Results of this study support the stated hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between free agent learning and employability with respect to a management career. The study concluded that free agent learning can be used as a tool to update and expand expertise, knowledge, and skills; to build and maintain networks; and to promote reputations to prepare for job transitions as and when current employer cannot guarantee long-term employment. The recommendations emphasis on use of free agent learning as a strategic approach by individuals as well as organization to capitalize over learning and development opportunities which could help in maintaining individuals employability as well as organizational excellence.

ہو ملاقات جو اپنوں سے یا اغیار کے ساتھ

ہو ملاقات جو اپنوں سے یا اغیار کے ساتھ
کتنا اچھا ہو اگر سب سے ملیں پیار کے ساتھ

تو نے منصور بڑی دار کو عزت بخشی
ذکر ہوتا ہے تو ہوتا ہے ترا دار کے ساتھ

میں تو بس دُور ہی رہتا ہوں ہمیشہ ان سے
میری بنتی جو نہیں زر سے نہ زردار کے ساتھ

آسرا حشر میں آقا کی شفاعت ہو گی
کون واں ہو گا بھلا مجھ سے خطاکار کے ساتھ

مجھ کو منظور فقط تیری رفاقت جو ملے
نہ رہے کوئی تعلق مرا سنسار کے ساتھ

ساتھ تیرے بھی وہی ہو گا یقینا تائبؔ
جو کہ ہوتا ہے یہاں ایک وفادار کے ساتھ

Religiosity for Promotion of Behavior: Role of Islamic Worships in Moral Development of Muslim Youth

The question of moral rectitude and upbringing of youth in the current social arena is the contemporary discovery attributed to social and family norms that also undergo change due to social and economic reasons. Consequently, deferring levels of piety become more or less acceptable according to an individual’s surroundings and age. The study was done to determine the association between religiosity and behaviors likely to improve the moral, social and psychological habits of young Muslims. The discussion of the article contextualizes the effects of observing practices of Islam on a larger scale. A sample study of this research can be used as evidence to counter the contemporary environment which inevitably generates contradictions for young people. The contradictions result in uncertainty and materialistic atmosphere which does not cater to their spiritual needs and the requirements to develop as the youth of Ummah. Yet, we cannot stop or avoid the negative channels and their effects prevailing on the internet. We can; however, extend the positive spiritual energy in youth that is only possible through careful observance of religious practices comprising regular prayers, fasting, charity and pilgrimage (Hajj). The current apathy of our youth towards the religious injunctions may be attributed to social and family norms that are in some cases relative to the economic conditions and social backup. This will evaluate and assess the way and means of effective inlaying of moral fields where our young people can improve their moral aptitude and rectitude. The impasse of current moral turpitude can be shattered with the bounding relation of human activity and Islamic ritual.

Usage of Formative Assessment Classroom Techniques Facts to Develop In-Depth Student Learning in Grade 9 Physics in a Private Higher Secondary School in the Hunza District of Gilgit-Baltistan

The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of how Formative Assessment Classroom Techniques (FACTs) can be used to develop in-depth student learning in selected topics in Grade 9 physics. The study also explored facilitating and challenging factors associated with the usage of the FACTs-based teaching of the context. The study employed action research method within qualitative paradigm. The data collection was carried out in a private higher secondary school over a period of eight weeks. The data were collected through interviews, observations, reflections and pre- and post- intervention student achievement tests. The findings of the study at the pre-intervention stage revealed that there was a lack of opportunities for student’s involvement in classroom activities having an element of FA in it. As a result of intervention, students were exposed to various FACTs through which they would express themselves, articulate their viewpoint and display their understanding of subject matter knowledge. Moreover, a considerable progression was seen in terms of a shift from students’ low participation to high participation; from weak scientific responses to strong scientific responses (oral and written) and from individual work to collaborative work. In addition, a limited scale quantitative analysis of students’ test scores also revealed the positive impact of FACTs-based teaching on students’ in-depth learning. Besides its facilitating factors, the study highlighted some of the challenges faced in the way of implementing FACTs in the classroom. These challenges ranged from time management (FACTs demand more time and efforts), to lack of teachers’ pedagogical knowledge and resources. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that teachers who use FACTs in their classroom on routine basis need support and facilitation at different levels. The school management or system needs to create conditions that are conducive to effective and sustained application of FACTs. As policy implication, it is recommended that FACTs should be introduced in the National Curriculum for physics with proper implementation guidelines to make them more practical in classroom teaching.
