علم کے فائدے
علم نور ہے جہالت تاریکی ہے۔ علم کی شعائیں جہاں پہنچتی ہیں جہالت کے گھٹا ٹوپ اندھیرے اپنا وجود ختم کر بیٹھتے ہیں۔ قصر جہالت و لاعلمی کے در و دیوارلرزنے لگتے ہیں، خزاں رسیدہ دل و دماغ بہار آشنا ہوتے ہیں۔ علم کے زیور سے مرصعّ ومزیّن انسان عزّت وعظمت کے قصر رفیع میں مکین ہوتا ہے، معرفت وآگہی کا تاج سر پر سجائے فرائض منصبی کی ادائیگی کے لیے کمر بستہ رہتا ہے ،علم و آگہی کے نشتر سے معاشرے میں موجو ظلم و بربریّت کے ناسور کے متعفن مادے کے اخراج میں اہم کردار ادا کرتا ہے وہ کشور علم و دانش کا شہنشاہ اور اقلیم روحانیت کا تاجدار ہوتا ہے۔
علم انسان کوانسانیّت کی معراج پر فائز کرتا ہے، تاریخ شاہد ہے کہ اس عالم رنگ و بو میں جو مقام و مرتبہ اہل علم کو نصیب ہوا ہے وہ کسی اور کونہیں ملا ،علم ہی کی بدوت ہم نے فضاؤں کومسخر کیا ہے ،علم ہی کے ذریعے ہم نے ہواؤں میں پرواز یں کی ہیں، علم ہی کے سبب ہم نے جبال شامخہ کی سینہ شگافی کی ہے، علم ہی کی وجہ سے ہم نے اپنے کھیتوں اور کھلیانوں کو کشت ِزعفران بنایا ہے، علم کی تیغ سے غفلت و لاپرواہی کی جڑ کاٹی ہے ،علم کی شمع سے اندھیروں کوا جالا بخشا ۔علم نے ہمیں سچ اور جھوٹ میں فرق کرنے کا سلیقہ عطا کیا، اسی علم ہی کی بدولت اللہ اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلمکی شناخت نصیب ہوئی۔
علم ہے میراث مومن کی ، اسے حاصل تو کر
علم ہے درمان راشدؔ اور جہالت اک مرض
اللہ تعالیٰ خالق ہے اور اس کے علاوہ دنیا کی ہر شے مخلوق ہے، انسان کو اللہ تعالیٰ نے اشرف المخلوقات بنایا ہے، اور اس جملہ...
Background: People suffering from imposter syndrome despite being competent consider themselves less skillful and incapable. Such individuals are also more prone to regret their choice of career with consequent early drop out, experience burnout, more prone to medical errors, absenteeism and low job satisfaction. The current study aims to determine the difference in the characteristics of imposter syndrome in dental students of preclinical and clinical phase and its gender predisposition. Objectives: 1. To find out the frequency and characteristics of imposter syndrome among dental students. 2. To evaluate the differences in the characteristics of imposter syndrome among dental students of preclinical and clinical year. 3. To determine gender predisposition of imposter syndrome among dental students. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted on 138 dental students of CMH Lahore Medical and Dental College. A validated questionnaire (Clance IP Scale) containing 20 items with 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data by convenient sampling technique. The characteristics of IP were determined by adding the scores of all items. Descriptive statistics were done, chi-square applied, p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: One hundred and thirty-eight students filled the IP Scale. The frequency of imposter syndrome is found to be 52.1% among Dental Students. Majority (72) of the dental students have frequent to intense imposter feelings. There is non-significant difference in the IP characteristics of male and female students. No significant difference in the characteristics of imposter syndrome is found between dental students of preclinical and clinical year. Conclusions: There frequency of imposter syndrome is high among Dental students. Non-significant difference in the IP characteristics is found between male and female students as well as students of preclinical and clinical year.
The struggle to develop an ideal model for teaching English language has been going on for so many years. English language is the second language in many countries including developing countries like Pakistan. In Pakistan English language has emerged as a powerful medium for communication and learning this language has become the need of the hour for a successful career and life. The students of the developing countries encounter many problems while speaking in English language and the major among those problems is the spoken English language anxiety which hinders the progress of the freshly graduates from getting good jobs.The main aim of the study was to explore confidence of students studying in the Pakistani context in their spoken English skill, with a focus on developing a model of active learning using interactive activities for language usage. It is based on the premise that social interaction is necessary for the cognitive development of mind, as emphasized by Vygotsky (Verenikina, 2010). This research is a mixed method study which was conducted in a private sector university of Lahore city in Pakistan. A quasi experiment Pre-test, post test design was conducted on an intact group of sixty students taken from the first semester. The intervention was based on interactive activities that lasted for two semesters or 32 weeks. The data was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The quantitative data was gathered through two standardized research tools i.e. a closed ended questionnaire and the spoken English assessment scale. The foreign language classroom anxiety scale developed by Elaine Horwitz (1986) and the adapted version of Conversational skills rating scale by Spitzberg (2007) were utilized for the present study. The qualitative data consisted of the researcher’s observations recorded during the intervention. Results of the study Effect of Confidence Enhancement Techniques on Spoken English showed that the students’ confidence level improved when they were exposed to interactive activities. The students of the control group showed no significant improvement as they had been taught by the routine methodology. Thus it is proposed that such interactive activities handled by trained instructors should be utilized in the classrooms, which can lead to the development of more confident English language speakers.
