In order to improve students’ performance, the educational institutions are now transformed
into learning organizations around the globe. However, in local context, the research studies
have been carried out to find dimensions of learning organizations at higher education
(university) and school level, while the middle level of colleges has been ignored. It is the phase
where students, skills learned at school level are polished to help them enter in higher stream of
education. At this stage role of teacher is important, but first it is necessary that teachers also
take responsibility of their own learning with the support of organization or “learning
organization” more appropriately. Major aim of the study is to identify perception of college
teachers about their educational institutions as learning organizations. By used Quantitative
research method, Data was collected from 244 college teachers from seven districts of Punjab
through convenient sampling. A learning organization dimension questionnaire (LODQ)
developed by Watkins and Marsick (1993) was used to collect data from respondents.
Descriptive statistics was be used to analyze data, while ANOVA was used to identify mean
difference in scores on the basis of demographic variables i.e., mode of employment. The results
indicate that respondents believe that educational institutions are not serving as learning
organizations. It is suggested on the basis of results that there is need to offer more
opportunities to learn during course of profession.

Standardized testing is a global practice which achieves objective, and reliable results of
successful cognitive learning. Test items assessed learners in Benjamin Bloom’s cognitive
domain. Proficiency in English lexical, reading and writing skills was assessed in a paper-pencil
test. This research was an independent measures design study which reported test results of a
probability sample of 600 Grade 7 students (361 girls and 239 boys) from 9 Government High
schools in Lahore. The test data was collected from the local norm group (urban Government
schools in district, Lahore). Psychometric properties of Grade 7 standardized test items were
calculated through Iteman software for Classical Analysis and out of 90 items, 2 items were
identified with negative correlation. Standardized test scores were reported using cumulative
mean of schools (53.438) and standard deviation (21.121). Spearman-Brown split half reliability
(0.95), measurement error (3.689), and Cronbach alpha analysis of variance (0.969) was
determined. Standardized testing is recommended for low road spontaneous, and automatic
transfer of highly practiced skills. Teacher made tests are defective and subjective. Thorndike’s
(1932) stimulus-response connections, and spaced retrieval practices promote standardized
tests. Standardized testing is recommended as it follows the law of recency, and the law of
disuse in practice.

Discourse Analysis and literature review. The finding of the study revealed that when
knowledge is dynamically created and iteratively developed in Virtual Learning Environment
Framework. The learners using pendulum of pedagogy and andragogy to transform and
transfer learning through self-regulated mechanism, using (8Ts iterative cycle model of
andragogy) need continuous assessment for learning (as feedback) through self and peer
assessment in authentic and collaborative learning communities. Hence, it was concluded that

were divided into two groups, an experimental group and a control group. Twenty Students
were randomly selected for experiment group and twenty student randomly selected for control
group. Pre-test and post-test randomized control group design of experimental research was
used. Pre- test was taken before treatment and post- test was taken after giving treatment. The
data was analyzed by descriptive statistic (mean and standard deviation) and inferential
statistical methods (t-test). The research showed that the result of experimental group is higher
than the learning result of control group. Based on the result of this research, it is concluded

Physics provides a way for the development of nation by producing scientifically literate
students. Secondary level plays foundational role for whole carrier of students. So the
secondary level must be as strong as possible. Physics has important place in natural science.
There is need of strong basic knowledge of physics in the field of I.T., Engineering and medical
sciences. The understanding in the field of physics can be increases by the proper use of
Laboratory. Globally the use of laboratory increases the deeper understanding of concepts (Hsu,
2016). This provide the bridge between what is abstract and what is concrete. Physics is real
home in laboratory. The understanding in subject physics is linked with lab experiences. In the
laboratory of physics procedural knowledge has a pivotal rule. Procedural Knowledge provide
a way for doing something. It is a methods of inquiry and leads to the criteria for using different
science soft skills. Skills relating to laboratory like observation, performance of small
experiments and inference are the important parts. Different algorithms, procedures, and
methods are also part of Procedural Knowledge (Mancebo, Silva Junior, &Schugurenky, 201 6).
The procedural knowledge increases the competences in physics students (Gurjanov et al. 2020).
The main purpose of this study was to see the effect of formative assessment in laboratory. In
Pakistan student in physics laboratory mostly play a role of passive partner. Many researcher
identified this problem. The education policy of 2017 also identified this problem. Under the
guideline of this policy the effect of formative assessment in laboratory may be find. In this
study pre-test post-test equivalent group was used. The tool of the study was the achievement
test. The data of the study was the marks in the achievement test. The student of experimental

Background: Entrepreneurship has its importance in the growth of any economy but to become
a successful entrepreneur, a person needs to be aware that education is important. Education
does not only mean having a degree, it means the ability to make sense of resources and
opportunities. Mainly small businesses fail due to two reasons one is lack of finance, and the
other is lack of intent to take educated risks. Aim: This study explores the role of education and
financial development in entrepreneurship success at the macroeconomic level across Islamic
countries. Method: This study selected the unbalanced panel data of all Islamic banks of 21
countries and used panel quantile regression to estimate the quadratic financial development
effects and moderation of Islamic financing model. Results: The results indicated that low
financial development is deterring entrepreneurship, which could be eased with the increase in
the Islamic financing proportion in the economy. Further, this study categorized the sample
countries into entrepreneurship promoting and entrepreneurship discouraging because of
financial sector development and Islamic financing. Implications: The economists and Central
bank follow the outcome to integrate increasing Islamic financing in the national financial
development policy in developing a facilitative environment for new businesses.

Experiential and explorative learning are at the heart of transformative education.
Transformative education requires transformative e teachers who motivate students to put
“head, heart and hand” together through cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural
dimensions. For developing countries, it is imperative to include formal, non-formal and
informal educational modes to foster lifelong learning. It is also of prime importance to
empower teachers, students, and all stake holders to contribute towards co-creating pedagogies,
learning materials and assessment tools in order to create an inclusive and sustainable future
for a globally competitive world as no one can survive in isolation. The researcher had been a
panelist in a training held by Commonwealth of Learning in Malaysia from 1st till 4th August
2022. The focus group which was led by the researcher included female educational leaders
from Pakistan, Canada, Philippines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Convenience
sampling was done adopting the phenomenological study design. Sample size included 6 mid-
career female educational leaders from above mentioned countries and the open-ended
question posed was: i) How can we gear the teaching-leaning towards implementation of
transformative education? & ii) What are the challenges involved in the process of lifelong
learning towards global competitiveness? Suggest possible solutions. The key take aways from
the first discussion question were: Adopting cross-curriculum approach, teaching the guiding
principles of peace, human rights, non-violence, fundamental freedom, cultural diversity and
tolerance across multiple subject areas. The overarching themes for challenges and solutions
were: assessment is still considered a grey area if we want to move towards lifelong learning for
global competitiveness, learning environments have to be more democratised, teachers require
more training towards internationalization of education and handling diverse groups of
learners. The participants strongly supported the notion that teachers must expose learners to
other global perspectives within the context of a trusting environment and motivate them to
move beyond the relative safety of their own and confined world views.

Prospective teachers about teaching and learning are very significant for both students and
teachers to enhance their teaching and learning abilities. It is necessary to explore prospective
teachers’ beliefs about teaching and learning because this study yields important aspects related
to education system and the ways in which it can be modified and refined. The present study
was conducted to study the beliefs of prospective teachers about teaching and learning. A
sample of the study is consisting of 400 prospective teachers for data analysis. Data was
collected through questionnaire. Sample comprised both male and female teachers. It was
analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. There is enough evidence to suggest that
explicitly exploring, understanding, and challenging prospective teachers' beliefs is an essential
task for teacher educators. Exploring prospective teachers' beliefs will (a) help promote
awareness among preservice teachers about their own beliefs, (b) help preservice teachers'
instructors understand the incoming beliefs through which students will make sense of new
knowledge and experiences they encounter in their program, and (c) serve as the starting point
in engaging prospective teachers in conceptual change. This can be accomplished by instructors
promoting prospective teachers' reflecting on the contrast between their initial beliefs and those

compare the quality of education between public and private schools of Jhang, Punjab, Pakistan.
Simple random sampling technique was used in the study to collect the data from District
Jhang. Random sampling technique gives equal chances of occurrence for all individuals. The
frame of sample is not sub divided and every border has same chances to selection. No one is
preferred in that method of sampling. Each pair has equal chances of selection which minimize
the unfairness. The variation in results of sampling matches with the results of population and
makes it easy to correctness of the results. The sample was divided into two parts as sample of
Schools and sample of students. The results revealed that school type, location of school,
student teacher ratio, tuition, gender of student, monthly test of students and computer lab
significantly affect the test score of students while incentive given to students and library in
school insignificantly effect students test score. The results revealed that if the school lies in
urban areas, computer lab available in school, more teachers available in school was beneficial
for increasing the test score of students. Before preparing the questionnaire, a pilot survey was
adopted on which information was obtained from the heads of 5 government schools and of 5
private schools of District Jhang. After their suggestion, the questionnaire was prepared. The
benefit of pilot surveying was that any important information is not missed in the
questionnaire. Two questionnaires was used in that study to collect information from
respondent. One questionnaire was prepared for head of institution other for the students of the
institution.Researcher was randomly choose 30 private and 20 public schools from accessible

Sustainable development is crucial in the 21st century for assisting nations to develop ways that
address the difficulties posed by climate change. It will help to save natural resources for
current and future generations. This study aims to examine the perspectives of STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math) and Non-STEM teachers from universities in the city of
Lahore. Education for sustainable development has the power to inculcate knowledge and
actions necessary for developing a sustainable world without endangering future needs. This
study was quantitative in nature. The t-test and ANOVA test were applied to test the study's
hypotheses. The results illustrate that STEM and Non-STEM teachers showed positive
responses regarding their perception of the role of education for sustainable development. The
findings showed that there were no statistically significant differences between STEM and non-
STEM teachers in terms of their teaching positions, service years, or gender. The data suggest
that teachers of STEM and non-STEM subjects, regardless of their years of experience or gender,
actively contribute to promoting sustainable development through their knowledge and
actions. To better prepare students for the future, it is recommended that education for
sustainable development be added as a separate subject in both science and non-science
subjects.

Socio-cultural Factors Causing EFL Classroom Speaking Anxiety

Muhammad Usman
MPhil scholar
Department of Education Kohat University of Science and Technology
[email protected]
In Pakistan, language anxiety research is mostly focused on psychological, personal or
classroom related factors that may cause language anxiety, (Amna et.al, 2018), thus, neglecting
socio-cultural and contextual factors that may cause FLSA. The immediate sociocultural
surroundings of students regarding FLA have received very little consideration to this point.
(Lo, 2017) This study aims to address this research gap by investigating the sociocultural factors
causing EFL classroom speaking anxiety at university level in Pakistan. Moreover, this lack of
attention by ELT researchers towards socio-cultural factors as a potential cause of FLA, may
result in ELT teachers unintentionally adopting such oral activities that could be perceived by
learners as culturally sensitive thus provoking distress and uneasiness. Therefore, another
objective of the current study is to find out learners perceptions of the strategies that could be
adopted by different stakeholders in ELT context to create a socially acceptable low anxiety
classroom environment. To achieve these objectives, this study utilizes a mixed method
approach by following an explanatory sequential research design. Consequently, a
questionnaire based on FLCA scale (Horwitz et. al. 1986) was administered among 140
participants in two major public sector universities of KP. Based on the statistics obtained from
the questionnaires, a total of 10 participants who had comparatively higher mean values at
FLCSA scale were selected for semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed
through SPSS while interviews were analyzed through exploratory content analysis to scan the
data for recurring categories and themes. The findings of the study suggest a variety of
sociocultural-related causes of SA that stem from geographical and educational divide in
Pakistan. In addition, this study also pinpoints other social factors and their relation to learners
SA such as parental child rearing practices, parental attitudes and their social background.
Likely, social construction of gender, identity related issues and factors related to social capital
were also identified. Furthermore, the study elicited some multifaceted strategies to be adopted
by parents, teachers and learners themselves to counter their speaking anxieties. Thus, this
study may therefore serve as an index for future FLA researchers. This study also aims to
contribute to the current body of literature by proposing that language anxiety can be studied
beyond cognitive and psychological dimensions.

The gist of the present study was to investigate into the factors affecting the self-concept and
self-esteem of adolescents with visual impairment. It was hypothesized that demographic
factors were likely to affect the self-concept and self-esteem of adolescents with visual
impairment. Moreover, there was likely to be significant difference in the self-concept and self-
esteem of adolescents with visual impairment on the basis of gender, age, educational level,
area of residence, type of visual impairment and provision of family support. Factorial research
design was used to conduct the study. Sample consisted of N= 75 adolescents with visual
impairment with age range of 13-19 years, randomly selected from the public and private
schools for visually impaired students in the city of Lahore. Robson Self-concept questionnaire
(1989), Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (1965) were used to assess the study variables. Data was
analyzed through SPSS version 21. The findings of the study revealed that there was no
significant gender difference or difference on the basis of type of visual impairment in the self-
concept and self-esteem of adolescents with visual impairment. There was significant difference
in the self-concept and self-esteem of adolescents with visual impairment on the basis of age,
educational level, area of residence and family support. Demographics were the predictors of
self-concept of adolescents with visual impairment. It was concluded that age, educational level,
area of residence and family support was the major factors that affect the self-concept and self-
esteem of adolescents with visual impairment. On the basis of the findings of the study, it is
suggested that more researches are needed in this field to explore more factors affecting the self-
concept and self-esteem of adolescents with visual impairment such as parenting styles,
socioeconomic status, no of friends, independence in life, independent mobility, physical
abilities, psychological well-being and social support

Several researches have been conducted on the pressing urge to improve the professional
quality of teachers, yet there is not even a single in-depth study that truly encompasses the level
of teachers’ practices of National Professional Standards for Teachers. This qualitative multiple
case study explores this phenomenon by using purposive sampling technique i.e. sample of
four cases (two schools each from urban and remote district) of Punjab. The eight teachers from
each sampled school with two teachers from each of the four compulsory subjects (English,
Urdu, Islamiat, and Pakistan Studies). The qualitative data collection sources included
documents analysis, classroom observation sand semi-structured interviews as undertaken by
the researcher on the directive of her supervisor. This instrument was validated and improved
in the light of experts’ opinion. Triangulation approach was used to cross verify the data. The
results revealed that most of the teachers were found to have insufficient knowledge and
understanding about the NPSTs whereas newly appointed teachers (appointed after 2012) were
found to be more curious and well-informed about the NPSTs. The teachers and education
managers (in all four cases) however, were found to be unknowingly practicing these
standards. This study recommends that there is a dire need for raising awareness among the
teachers and education managers. The government should keep a strict check and balance on
the quality of education through teacher appraisal and evaluation.

Effectiveness plays a vital role in employees’ performance. Good performance is an indicator of
effectiveness which is directly related to the achievement of goals to flourish the organizations.
Leadership plays an important role in producing effective personnel and when we talk about
the personnel of Educational institutions then we call them Educational Managers. A team of
effective managers lead the educational organizations to achieve their goals. By considering the
importance of this area, this study was designed as a census survey and an attempt to explore
the effectiveness of educational managers’ gender wise. Study was conducted by using the
seven habits of highly effective people described by Stephen R Covey as “Proactive”, “Begin
with the end in mind”, “put first things first” “think win / win”, “Seek first to understand then
to be understood”, “synergize” and three levels of effectiveness based on seven habits which are
Level of “Independence, Interdependence, and Continuous Improvement” to find out overall
effectiveness of Educational managers. A sample of all educational managers BPS-18 and above
working on regular basis in University of Gujrat and University of the Punjab was collected by
using six point Likert scale tool. Effectiveness of educational managers was measured by using
fisher’s exact probability test for independence. Findings of this study showed, no significant
difference in the overall effectiveness of educational managers in gender based comparison.
However; it was concluded that Educational managers were mostly effective at all three levels
of effectiveness instead of highly effective. Trainings / workshops were recommended.

Assessment and Examination are interchangeable words refer to measure the performance of
students but have a thin line. Assessment involves a number of techniques to measure the
performance of students through formal and non formal ways as formative, summative, and
placement assessment but Examination is the formal way to measure the individual ‘s
performance based on desirable objectives. The significance of the study was that it diagnosed
the past challenges and decisions about examination and assessment system and will be helpful
for teachers, students, parents to recognize these hurdles and challenges and will focused on
implement the current policies properly and will compete with globally by participating in
international standardized exam. The purpose of the study was to review the whole system of
assessment and examination in past years that suggested in educational policies of Pakistan.
The study was qualitative in nature and used historical methodology to diagnose the past
suggestions and problems of examination and assessment system. The results of analysis
showed that problem of examination system was that It promoted rote learning and measured
the students’ performance on low level of thinking (knowledge and understanding) . Therefore,
teachers only focused on obtaining maximum marks in boards rather to create critical thinking.
Continuous and Large scale Assessment is not implemented properly, Thus, It leads to the
hidden gaps in educational system. The suggestion in the educational policies were that
problem solving and critical thinking techniques promoted and teachers used innovated ways
to assess the students in class. The recommendations are that assessment tool can be develop for
the administered the examination system precisely and affectively and training session should
be arranged for school teachers for the enhancement of critical and creative thinking.

Pakistan (1947-2017) in Context of Higher Education

Pakistan is a developing nation, education is essential for its millennium's survival. Pakistan's
social, economic, and political aspects make up its identity. In light of this, it is of the utmost
importance to provide the nation's youth with the knowledge, abilities, and skills necessary to
meet its challenges. Therefore, there is a pressing need for reputable and high-quality higher
education institutions in order to provide students with the kind of education that will prepare
them for future employment opportunities. To get down to business, Pakistan's education
system has been neglected since independence, with only 2% of the GNP going toward it,
despite the UNESCO recommendation of 4%. However, this amount was increased to nearly 3%
of the budget in 2003. The budget's exponential growth in higher education reached
approximately Rs.9 billion by 2005, a 150,000 percent increase. Since the rise in expenditures
and inflationary costs has hindered efforts to improve this sector, this increase has not been
beneficial. According to Ravitch (2006), if the social, economic, and intellectual aspects of
national development are not addressed, the population's standard of living will not rise. This
brings us back to the topic of national development. As a result, universities' growth should
receive a significant portion of funding. This will make it possible to educate people from all
walks of life, and talented young people will benefit and help build the country. Pakistan must
consider the case of education as one of its priorities because it is the path to solving other
problems the country faces. This goal will become possible as the number of educated youth
grows. The analysis was done to examine Pakistan's higher education policies from 1947 to 2017
in relation to higher education. For this purpose, document analysis was conducted through
qualitative research design. The collected data served as the basis for the findings. The findings
of the study were the basis for a conclusion and recommendations.

[email protected]
This review study was done to critically analyze the history of educational policies from 1947-
2017 in the context of curriculum in Pakistan. The main objective of this article was to examine
the education policies introduced by the Governments of Pakistan for observing the planning,
reforms for improvement of curricula and textbooks, review the targets and achievements
related to curricula, identify the causes of failure of these policies. Since 1947 six major
education policies were developed which had tried to address the problems and issues of
education sector in Pakistan. Educational policies had put emphasis on qualitative aspects of
education by updating and reforming the curricula, improving textbooks, reforming
examination systems, and enhancing the capacity of the teaching force. The study is qualitative
in nature and related to theoretical and content analysis based. This paper concluded that
during the 75 years since independence, many initiatives and suggestions were made for the
improvement of curricula but the process of evaluation of enacted curriculum was very slow
which was the main barrier to quality education. Unfortunately, most of the policies could not
achieve their objectives due to lack of political will, inconsistency, and frequent policy changes
with change of governments. Negligence of administration, faulty infrastructure, lack of
evaluation of previous education policies, non-availability of authentic and reliable data leads
to outdated curricula and poorly aligned textbooks. Unstable political circumstances were the
main reasons due to educational policies failed.

In previous two years, as Covid-19 has disrupted education, whole world and particularly
education sector has undergone high-tech digital transformation with rapid advancement in
digital technologies and internet. Eventually, novel forms of immersive technologies have
started replacing the digital applications and technologies. In this evolving sphere, Metaverse
has emerged as next chapter of internet. Metaverse brings a new concept of blending real and
virtual world by utilizing Artificial intelligence and immersive technologies (Augmented
Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality). Metaverse can also open up new opportunities for
creating virtual learning spaces in educational setup. Educational metaverse is not about
changing only the classroom environment but it provides meaningful and immersive learning
experiences. The present research was conducted to analyze the potential of educational
metaverse as virtual learning space. This was a mix-method study followed by concurrent
triangulation design. Sample of study comprised of 60 university teachers from three
universities of Lahore, 100 university students from three universities of Lahore, and 10 digital
applications developers/programmers from 4 software houses of Lahore. Data were analyzed
by comparing the qualitative and quantitative results. Research objectives: 1- To explore the
opinions of university teachers and university students regarding use of educational metaverse
as virtual learning space 2- To analyze the opinions of digital developers/programmers
regarding possibilities and prospects of developing educational metaverse as virtual learning
space Findings and Recommendations: The study found that most of Pakistani university
teachers were not even aware of concept of educational metaverse and its usefulness. Whereas
university students, being digital natives and active online game players, were partially aware
of metaverse, virtual and augmented reality and they found it interesting to utilize metaverse as
virtual learning space in future. The results of interviews revealed that programmers were very
much eager and excited towards developing educational metaverse. Educational metaverse
were foreseen as interoperable, scalable, effective, useful and ubiquitous learning space for
future. The study concludes that educational metaverse has great potential towards its
utilization as virtual learning space. Study recommends that ODL policy of Pakistan should be
implemented on priority and it must include options for using educational metaverse in order
to coop with the prospective virtual learning trends.

Performance of a student is highly dependent upon the mental health and Psychological
condition of student. The educational institutions are not considering this factor for the
performance assessment. Depression and anxiety level of students is increased due to many
reasons like getting low GPA, tired of studies, finding difficulties in course content. In order to
solve this problem we proposed a digital solution through which institution can check the
mental health and anxiety level of students. We developed an android application in which four
tests Patient Health questionnaires-9, Westside Test Anxiety Level-10, Hamilton Anxiety Rating
Scale -A and The Major Depression Inventory are included. Through questionnaires on this
application anxiety level of students will be calculated. Different tips and therapies are also
included to help the students in decreasing their anxiety and depression which will help them
to perform well in studies. If there is need for consultation then students can also connect with
professionals through this application.

approach with that of Quran’s views. Although it is conceptual as well as on a viewpoint mode
and it looks at leadership from two different perspectives; namely that as understood by the
West (which have been researched, deliberated and documented quite extensively), with that of
the point of view mainly extracted from the Quran. Leadership skill is considered as a twenty
first century skill by many researchers. Its importance is imperative for human beings.
Leadership skills are the potencies and capabilities which individuals display that assist to
manage procedures, direct plans and guide their employees toward the attainment of aims and
goals. There have been different theories and models presented by Western writers and
researchers on leadership skill. Quran presents clear notion of leadership. Quran elaborates that
