راجے دے طوطے

راجے دے طوطے

پرانے زمانے دی گل اے کہ اک پنڈ وچ راجہ ناں دا اک بندہ رہندا سی۔ اوس نوں پالتو جانور تے پرندے پالن دا بہت شوق سی۔ اوس نے بکری، بھیڈ، مجھ، کتا، بلی تے خرگوش توں وکھ کئی پرندے وی پالے ہوئے سن۔ اوس نوں جتھوں وی کوئی سوہنا جانور یاں پرندا ملدا اوہ خرید لیندا تے فیر بہت محنت تے دل نال اوہناں نوں پالدا۔ پرندیاں وچ بھانویں کہ اوس کول تتر، کبوتر تے چڑیاں وڈی تعداد وچ سن پر اوس دا دل نئیں سی بھردا۔ اوہ پرندیاں دی تعداد وچ آئے دن کوئی نواں پرندیاں خرید کے وادھا کردا رہندا۔ اک دفعہ اوہ ایران دی سیر کرن گیا۔ اوتھے اوس نوں کجھ طوطے پسند آئے جو گلاں کردے سن۔ واپس تے اوس اوہ طوطے خریدے تے بڑی حفاظت نال اپنے گھر لے آیا۔ اوہ ایہناں دے بولن پاروں بہت خوش سی۔ اوہ سارا دن ایہناں نال گلاں کردا رہندا۔ جس پاروں طوطے ایس دے گھل مل گئے سن۔ طوطے بہت تیز ہوگئے سن۔ اوہ ہر روز راجے کولوں کدے چوری منگدے تے کدے کوئی پھل، کدے کھان نوں ہری مرچ یاں سبزی منگدے تے کدے بادام۔ راجہ اوہناں دی ہر خواہش پوری کردا سی۔

اک دفعہ نالدے پنڈ وچ میلہ لگا۔ اوس میلے وچ دوروں دوروں لوک اپنے پالتو جانور تے پرندے نمائش لئی لے کے آئے۔ اکثر لوک بیل، گاواں، مجھاں، کتے، بلیاں، خرگوش، گھوڑے، اونٹ لے کے آئے۔ کجھ لوک نچن والے گھوڑے لے کے آئے۔ ہن میلے دے میدان وچ واری واری لوک اپنے جانور یاں پرندے لے کے آندے تے اوہناں دے کرتب وکھاندے۔ سارے لوک اوہناں دے کرتب ویکھ کے بہت خوش ہوندے تے تاڑی وجا کے داد دیندے تے اپنی خوشی دا اظہار کردے۔

Human Capital and Foreign Direct Investment: Lessons for Pakistan

Foreign direct investment plays a key role in economic development of all countries. Because of its enormous importance, a large number of empirical studies has focused on finding out the factors determining foreign direct investment. Level of human capital development is one of the major factors influencing foreign inflows. However, earlier studies examining impact of human capital on foreign investment inflows has majorly used literacy rate, school enrolment and government spending on education as its proxies. This paper also examines the impact of human capital as determinant of foreign direct investment. Contrary to earlier empirical studies, it uses cognitive skills as proxy for human capital. Cognitive skills measure the quality of education instead of literacy rate or government spending on education as proxy for human capital. Results indicate that human capital has significant positive effect on foreign direct investment for sample countries. This result is robust to disaggregated data for developed and developing countries. Other factors that determine foreign direct investment inflows are inflation, capital account openness, trade account openness and real income. Based on empirical results, it is recommended that the relevant authorities must make human capital as part and parcel of strategies aimed at augmenting economic growth in the country. There is also a lesson for a developing country like Pakistan to focus more on quality of education instead of school enrolment or education spending for attracting foreign direct investment to boost economic activity (J.E.L Classification Codes: O4, O15, P22).

The Use of Discrepant Events As an Alternative Science Teaching Strategy in Lower Secondary Classrooms

The purpose of the study was to explore the possibilities and limitations of using discrepant events (D.E.) as an alternative teaching strategy in lower secondary classes, in a Government. School. This study highlights the fact that practical work in science teaching needs radical change, if we have to promote greater problem solving initiatives among students. Science is frequently taught through an expository or teacher centered method, with any practical work confined to teacher demonstrations following a procedure given in the practical notebooks. Students work towards pre-determined results following the instructions, and, in lower secondary classes, there is little or no opportunity to use practical work or create activities. This inhibits students thinking and their development of scientific skills. Teachers are in general not aware of new strategies to science teaching. With this in mind, this study explored the use of Discrepant Events as an alternative science teaching strategy to help learners to develop certain science processes like prediction, observation, experimentation, and application. Study results reveal that teachers place a heavy emphasis on rote learning, with students blindly following the procedures directed by the teacher. When student were introduced to the new strategy of discrepancy, they found themselves more confident to apply activities and practical work. There was a noticeable increase in student motivation, enthusiasm, and curiosity in the students' attitude towards science . Students also felt that a change had occurred in their learning environment. The teacher involved in the study also realized that the discrepant events strategy was beneficial to her students and showed her interest in using the approach in her class in the future. It was also found that the introduction of certain process skills and discussions in science classroom provided a valuable opportunity for students to think and reflect upon their own science learning. The use of discrepancies in science was seen to significantly promote cognitive development. In addition, the researcher himself benefited from the study and improved his planning , questioning skills, time management, and learnt how to face challenges of large classrooms, often exceeding fifty students. The study also confirms that discrepancy' is a viable strategy for use in a developing country context like Pakistan.
