قرآن و حدیث کی روشنی میں تعمیر کردار و شخصیت اور نصاب اسلامیات: ایک تنقیدی مطالعہ

Islam gives the idea of collective life and tries for human development. The basic idea of the teaching of Islam is that the individual must be true and active worker of society. He must have moral values and principles clearly. In addition, he tries constantly that a Muslim should perform saying of Allah and human rights properly. In this way, Islam tries to work on the behavior, morality, and habits of people and tries his best to properly enhance the different aspects of personality.  For this, the life of Prophet Muhammad? Is a complete code of life. The good characteristics of Muslims are considered praiseworthy that are truth, brotherhood, justice, forgiveness, the oneness of Allah and keepings. In the same way, the things which are condemned by Islam are bride, misery, theft, backbiting, telling lies, blaming others, self-centeredness, close vision, dishonesty, garrulous, greediness, showiness manners, jealousy,  un-obligation, clashes, hatred and etc. The philosophy of character building and personality development in Islam is the Muslims should avoid all bad works and develops good qualities in him as discussed before so that a Muslim should be a very useful and pious citizen of society. And we all know that education especially we can say that Islamic Education is a tool of change. So education is worthless if it does not create change in the minds of people and society. It is useless if it does not build the moral character regarding the personality development of the students. Islam tells us all about the values which are fruitful for humanity and are beneficial to human beings. For this purpose, it is necessary that we should give awareness of Islamic values to the people through Islamic education. It is only possible if the textbooks are designed according to the Islamic concept and values as well as teachers and parents play their effective role in the development of the personality of their children. Pakistan is a Muslim country and has its own religious, moral, political and social values and being a Muslim through an effective Islamic educational system, we can transfer these values to our new generation. Our curriculum is playing key role in the personality development and character building of the students or not is the main question so that this article is being written. In this article keeping in view the aims and objectives of the curriculum of Islamic Studies and following the Quranic verses and Hadith, we will try to analyze whether it is building the personality or character of students or not. After that, the conclusion and recommendations will be given keeping in view the analysis.

An Exploratory Study of the Concept of Teaching Moments in a Pakistani Mathematics Classroom

This study set out to explore the concept of teaching moments in a Pakistani mathematics classroom, using the definition of the concept given by Mason et al. (1989) in a draft article ;the Study of Teaching-Moments as the guiding operational definition. A qualitative approach was adopted for the study since it involved capturing the teachers' thinking and feelings when making interactive decisions. These aspects could best be studied by allowing the participating teachers to relate their thinking and feelings. The study found that teaching moments existed in the classrooms in which I conducted my study. They were characterised by the teachers' perceptions of classroom events. The teachers' perceptions of the classroom events guided their reactions. Furthermore, this study has shown that student- related events predominated in bringing about teaching moments. It has also shown that there were several categories of teaching moments; namely, blip, extended, fork and ineffective. In some cases opportunities were identified by the researcher which were not transformed into teaching moments by the teachers. These have been labeled ‘’potential teaching moments.’’ This report concludes by highlighting the pedagogical potential of teaching moments which can be tapped only if teachers are sensitised to notice opportunities and accurately react to the noticed opportunities by studying mathematics as a connected body of knowledge and as a human activity. It therefore recommends a ‘’realistic approach’’ of mathematics teaching for prospective mathematics teachers.
