Abstract

Errors are the most common possibility in the ESL learning process and Error Analysis, a never ending venture, remains an ongoing area of research as long as people continue to learn second or foreign language. Similarly, the present study aims to diagnose learners' linguistic choices and it categorizes errors in order to study competence and performance of participants in target language. Corder's (1974) procedural method of error analysis is followed as theoretical framework; the present article analyzes the written manuscripts of Pakistani graduating ESL learners. The corpus consisted of data collected through 200 students’ written work from two different faculties i.e., Basic Sciences and Computer Science. Data is collected through purposive sampling technique from first year university students. The study identifies, classifies, and explains seven classes of errors as follow: lexical errors, syntactic errors, morphological errors, semantic errors, errors of articles, spelling errors and online language errors. Results show that learners are influenced by the patterns of their L1; consequently, they translate, borrow, and rely more on L1. It suggests that they may be familiar with the rules of the target language but due to lack of practice, they cannot perform well. Also, findings of the study confirm that spelling, articles, and online language errors are the most common. The study concludes with a suggestion to look for constructive pedagogical strategies to reduce the high frequency of these errors in ESL classrooms in Pakistani context. The present study may act as a feedback for students and a clue of modification in pedagogical methodologies and syllabus design for teachers.

Abstract

Education is a basic human right and is considered a key tool for national development. Pakistani society follows the universal pattern of differentiated general education and technical education. One hundred and twenty respondents were selected through a convenient sampling technique and were interviewed by a well-structured research tool (questionnaire). Ten respondents were pretested to check and examine the workability of the questionnaire. Collected data was analyzed through appropriate statistical techniques by using SPSS software, and recommendations were made for the improvement of technical and vocational education regarding human resources. The study found that the majority of the respondents belonged to those skilled persons who were agreed with private organizations taking an interest in conducting vocational training courses. During conducting data, it was also observed that the majority of respondents were agreed that their institutes are providing skills according to international standards. Near to half of the respondents were found a tendency toward getting technical-vocational education in our country with a high ratio. The findings of this study will contribute more in the literature in the area of education in human resource management and will also open a new avenue for practitioners as well as for researchers.

Abstract

After becoming a signatory of UNCRPD, inclusive education is a reality for approaching days; however, due to our already weak and socio-religiously confused educational system, teachers and parents of delayed students, are not ready to accept them in mainstream classrooms. The basic reason for such reluctance is lack of awareness and fears of added responsibilities, which may be associated with this major shift in educational methodology. The aim of the research is to understand the attitude and perception of teachers about the inclusive education concept. In this study, mixed-method research (both qualitative and quantitative) was used. The research instrument was developed according to the directions and guidance provided by experts with fourteen items, which were then shared with 100 elementary school teachers belonging from different Federally administered educational institutions in District Okara, and their responses were quantified for analysis. Moreover, interviews of senior teachers from the same educational institutions were also conducted to obtain a clear perspective of the issue. Convenience sampling techniques were used, and descriptive analysis was used to assess responses. Based on acquired data, results were finalized, which showed reluctance by teachers due to lack of awareness as well as fear of additional responsibilities and expectations without any visible incentive. Moreover, neither required human resources nor infrastructures allow an inclusive schooling system to be adopted. Thus, a gradual approach towards implementation of a new concept along with concrete steps by the government is found to be the most viable option for approaching the issue.

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss thoroughly different approaches to criticism with the help of pre-romantic aesthetics and their theories. The study, first, alludes to the 18th century pre-romantic aesthetics. Furthermore, the philosophical impact of Locke has been assessed in the light of the imagination theories. The theories of imagination given by Bruke and Addison have a lot of connection to aesthetics, which constitute part of imagination. Through a peculiar process, pleasure moves to be part of perception. Finding affirms that Locke’s philosophy relates to human compliance by means of which pre-romantic uses essential contextual treatises. The study adopts an analytical inquiry to accumulate data and then constructs a critical evaluation of factuality and erudition on the information. The findings of this research affirm that the emergence of knowledge has been debated for many centuries. Several literary epochs with a distinguished school of thought discuss and form inquiries. If rationalists portray human thoughts associated with the soul and cognitive views that a soul possesses from its inception, comparatively, Empiricists seem to have an approach that erupts from the perception and experiences as perception embarks on a journey to the blank paper of mind. If the reflection is there, it activates creating ideas, then this empiricism is directed to internality. Critics (Bruke & Addison) may be considered empiricists critics of the pre-romantic era.

Abstract

This research was carried out in district Haripur KPK at the secondary level to investigate the effect of academic procrastination and learning styles on students' academic achievements. For this study, a descriptive survey research design was used. Five hundred students of grade 10 were selected from secondary schools of district Haripur through a Stratified random sampling technique from the population. Two self-developed questionnaires were used on the Likert scale to collect data. The major results showed that academic procrastination significantly negatively impacts academic achievements. The results revealed that the kinesthetic learning style is the most frequently practiced learning style by the students at the secondary level. The analysis of the overall effect of all learning styles showed that all learning styles have a significantly positive effect on the academic achievements of secondary school students. The teachers are needed to educate students about the harmful effect of academic procrastination. They must be aware of individual differences among students and various learning styles that suit different students. They are needed to plan lessons accordingly.

Abstract

In the context of informal caregiving studies, the use of resilience as a coping mechanism for mitigation of informal care burden is regarded as crucial. More than half of the caregivers of elderly cancer patients experience at least one suspected psychiatric symptom, including depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse/dependence, and post traumatic stress disorder. Besides this, various studies have supported the role of social support and spirituality as predictors of resilience in protecting and maintaining the physical and psychological health of informal caregivers. But, by analyzing previous literature, there is a dearth of empirical research in the Pakistani context which may examine spirituality and social support as predictors of resilience among informal caregivers of elderly cancer patients. To fill this research gap, the current study aimed to analyze spirituality and social support as predictors of resilience among informal caregivers of elderly cancer patients. In this regard, the current study was conducted using a quantitative research design. By using a purposive sampling technique, the data was collected from 200 informal caregivers of elderly cancer patients from the following hospitals: In mol Cancer Hospital, Cancer Care Hospital Lahore, the Oncology ward of Mayo Hospital Lahore, and the Oncology ward of Jinnah Hospital Lahore. An interview schedule was used as a tool of data collection by adopting the following scales: Caregiver’s Resilience Scale, Caregiver’s Spirituality Scale, and MOS Social Support Scale. The study results were analysed using SPSS software, and the descriptive section of the results indicated that the larger proportion of informal caregivers were male, dependent upon their families, aged between 24 and 29, and had only a secondary level of education. Furthermore, when the inferential statistics of the study's correlation and regression analysis tests were used, the results revealed that caregiver spirituality and social support had a significant and positive effect on the caregiver's resilience to care giving burden.

Abstract

Managing economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability in the operations of Construction Project Management is one of the significant tasks for today's managers. Because of its huge environmental impacts, The Construction industry emerges as an area of immense sustainable development. This led to an increase the focus of researchers and global communities towards incorporating sustainability in construction projects, and it changed the science of construction project management to a great extent. Yet, incorporating sustainability in projects is not a single time task rather a process whose scope is broadly distributed in all phases of construction projects, including planning, execution, delivery, and even till the lifecycle of project deliverables. Although project management and the concept of sustainability have been widely studied separately, how these two different fields act collectively and coordinate within the vibrant construction projects require more attention of researchers. In this paper Sustainability Integration Model (SIM) is presented based on a review of recent literature to define and incorporate sustainability in projects with a special focus on the construction industry.

Abstract

We have conducted a brief literature review to learn more about the impact of Covid-19 on supply chains and how Industry 4.0 has helped to innovate business models as a result. Industry 4.0 (I4.0) was gaining popularity in every field before the pandemic. It brought a change in almost every area of life. It was becoming mandatory for organizations to change according to industry 4.0 parameters to remain competitive. Covid-19 has hit the world badly, leaving business operations to halt worldwide. It has accelerated the transformation process. It has forced practitioners to think about innovative Business models. Business models are the backbone of any progressive business that links its core technological functions and other activities to fulfil customers' needs. This paper sums up the transformation process under the umbrella of I4.0. It also summarises the effect of Covid-19 disruptions that hit the SC. It explores the stages which can be followed to recondition the business models. We summed up literature for practitioners to see possibilities to transform and survive existing disruptions. We have discussed emerging business models with the latest technologies. In this literature, we incorporate a four-step business model innovation process. Artificial intelligence, smart machinery, the Internet of Things, and Robotics are the main components of I4.0 that can revolutionize the value enhancement phenomena of any BM. Covid-19's effects on supply chain resilience and agility and the coping mechanisms provided by I4.0 were not thoroughly examined in previous studies.
