اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں خواتین کی مثبت سرگرمیاں کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

The status, empowerment and dignity of woman in Islam is the crucial topic in the modern times. According to Islamic point of view, men and women have been created from a one soul. The main difference between them lies in the physical structure. A woman has to bring up, train and look after kids, which is the complicated task to civilize a nation. The issue of woman`s activities in Islam, is misunderstood and distorted due to misreporting of western media and misbehavior of some Muslim families. There is a large number of women scholars in Islamic history, Dr. Akram Nadwi has compiled the biographies of ten thousand female scholars in his commendable book of forty volumes. In educational system of Islam, a woman is completely free to perform educational activities for development of her nation. In social system of Islam, a woman is honored as mother, as daughter, as sister and as wife. The first converter to Islam was a woman, “Hazrat Khadijah (R.A)”. Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) was great scholar who reported many traditions from Holy Prophet( SAW). Many female Companions of Holy prophet( SAW) have performed great deeds even in the field of battlefield. There is a strong basis in Islamic history for women`s participation in positiveand constructive activities in every walk of life. Muslim women are allowed to perform research, educational, national,  religious, social, and financial and other constructive activities. In this research paper, Islamic overview has been described upon positive and constructive activities of women in the light of Islamic teachings.

Study of Psychosocial Determinants of High and Low Academic Achievers.

The study investigated the psychosocial determinants of high and low academic achievers. A small random sample of high and low academic achievers was compared on intelligence to confirm that no significant differences exist in the intellectual ability of high and low academic achievers. Data of the main study was drawn from 187 B.Sc. academic achievers with a distribution of 126 high and 61 low achievers of three successive academic sessions from public university. Independent group research design was used. Purposive sampling technique was used for the collection of data. All the respondents were contacted twice to control the elements which could affect their responses. Statistical analysis was carried out through SPSS Program. Results indicated that high academic achievers have more clarity about their future goals and are less likely to attend tuitions than low academic achievers. However, results showed no significant differences in their family variables. t-test analysis indicated that high academic achievers have significantly effective study orientation, high achievement motivation, low test anxiety, high self-esteem and were high in internal academic locus of control than low academic achievers. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between academic achievement, study orientation, achievement motivation, and self-esteem. Step-wise regression analysis indicated study orientation followed by the achievement motivation as the best predictor of academic achievement. vi Gender differences for high academic achievers were observed in test anxiety and academic locus of control whereas in case of low academic achievers significant gender differences were found in study orientation, achievement motivation and test anxiety. The study has identified the psychosocial determinants of high and low academic achievers. Results of the study have important implications for policy makers and educationists to improve academic achievement.
