قرآنی اصولوں کی روشنی میں معاشرتی استحکام

Islam is the religion of nature. It not only approves the social interaction among the masses, but also helps in its development towards positive ends. Islam has given natural and universal principles which help its followers to develop a harmonious society, discouraging all the attempts to divide the society into different sections. Islamic society is based upon the following fundamental principles i. E equality, harmony of thoughts, justice, amar-bilmaaruf-wa-nahi-anilmunkar (ask for good and forbid from evil), unity, sense of responsibility, virtue and evil, abolition of sectarianism & fulfillment of promises, reflecting the universality of the religion, Islam. Pakistan today, is facing various social problems like terrorism, corruption, poverty, unemployment, broken families, sectarianism, onslaught of western culture and demand of unrestricted liberty by womenfolk. The moral degradation of the society is due to the fact that the true Islamic spirit and moral teachings and trainings of Islam have not been applied with true mind and honest intentions. The moral values are ignored by the media which is the cause of great concern.

Developing Collaborative Practice

This report contains pertinent information related to an educational development project conducted in one of the schools in Karachi. The project was designed and developed on the basis of need assessment. The need assessment was carried out in three phases (pre-assessment, assessment, and post-assessment). In the last phase of the need assessment, the identified need of the school was analyzed and prioritized in the light of the level of needs (system resource, service provider, and service receiver). The culture of isolation was understood as the root cause of various issues faced by the school. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to develop collaborative and professional practices among the school teachers. To achieve this purpose, six workshops and classroom practices were conducted. In the first workshop, the project focused on building participants' conceptual understanding of collaboration and collegiality. As a result, the participants broadened their perception about the concept. Also, their understanding regarding the topic was enhanced and developed. Furthermore, the project participants developed a couple of implementation strategies for conducting team-teaching and peer-coaching. Moreover, the school teachers conducted three team-teaching and peer-coaching sessions during the project implementation, as a practice of collaborative strategies. Most importantly, these strategies (team-teaching, peer-coaching, and participatory planning) were the main focus of the project for addressing the identified need of the school. To measure the achievement in all activities, a monitoring and evaluation framework was constantly used. This framework contained certain instruments like; interview, questionnaires, field notes, reflective journal, and observation.
