Difference btwn volunterism n determinism?
Individuals can take one of the two types of
actions. In society, the reasons you behave in a particular way is because an
external force makes you do it. For example, you could not pass the red signal;
you have to stop because following the rules of presence of police makes you do
it. This is known as “determinism” (Determined
by external forces)
The other way is shaped by the individuals “Voluntarism”. You behave in a particular way because that’s
the way you know the right way to behave and this is known as voluntarism. You
voluntarily behave in a particular manner not because an external force is
demanding to behave in a particular way. Mostly if observed in a society,
determinism takes the upper hand, most individuals behave in society because
they know if they don’t the consequences will not be good.
Sociological perspective recognizes free will within
the context of the power of external circumstances.

Scaffolding: “role of teachers and others in supporting the
learner’s development and providing support structures to get to the next stage
or level.”
In an educational
context, however, scaffolding is an instructional structure whereby the teacher
models the desired learning strategy or task then gradually shifts
responsibility to the students.
Scaffolding:
-
Provides
support

Extends
the range of what a learner can do
-
Allows
the learner to accomplish tasks otherwise impossible
-
Used
only when needed.

5 strong recommendation in 1978
-
Reduction in the amount allotted for
education
-
Opening of new primary schools: It was
planned in the policy to open 13,000 new primary schools and 5,000 new masjid
schools but because of financial difficulties this target could not be
achieved.

Less increase in number of students: It
was necessary to increase the number of students at the primary stage to
increase the literacy rate; the desired increase in the number of students
could not be achieved and thus literacy rate could not be increased.
-
Less facilities for Teachers: It has
been a sorrowful condition since Pakistan came into being that the teachers
have not been given a status economically and socially to enable them to do
their teaching work whole heartedly after being free from financial worries.

How school serve as agent.
Sometimes ago, when we talked of literacy, we talked
of the 3Rs only which was reading, writing and arithmetic. Those 3Rs have gone;
focusing today on only those 3Rs will not help our students. Literacy today is
more than simply being able to read, write and being able to do simple
quantitative skills. Today we talk off:
-
Cultural literacy
-
Scientific literacy
-
Computer literacy
-
Technological literacy
-
Electronic/media literacy
-
Information literacy
If all this literacy has to be taught, it has to
come down to the school level. And therefore, schools have to be agents of
change.

11 what was the
philosophy of IBN e SINA and how he participated in historical work.
IBN
SINA (980–1037)
Ibn Sina (Avicenna), was a poet, music theorist, astronomer, and politician, but he was best known as a philosopher and as a medical doctor. From his autobiography we learn that he was born in an Ismailia family in Afghani, in the Persian region of Bukhara.
By the age of ten, he had completed the study of language and literature and memorized the Quran. He studied Greek logic and mathematics under his father’s friend al-Natili, a teacher and a prominent advocate of Isma_ili Shi_ism. However, he soon felt that his education and skills exceeded his teacher’s and he no longer needed him. By the age of sixteen, he had covered the various sciences and became a teacher and practitionerof medicine. Because of his fame as a doctor, he was called upon to treat the prince Nuh Ibn Mansur, who then gave him access to the princely library, which was rich in rare books. By eighteen, he was confident that he had mastered the sciences except for metaphysics. He read Aristotle’s metaphysics many times without understanding it until he came across al-Farabi’s interpretation of it. He spent his last years writing and practicing medicine in Isfahan, but owing to constant travel, insufficient sleep, and hard work, he fell sick and died. He was buried in Hamadha

The students of public schools will not
accept them and they may bully, hate and show aggressive behavior against
children with special needs.
-
Deep in their minds they feel inclusive
education is a threat to their jobs and future career.
-
They fear that in case the inclusive
education is successfully implemented in Pakistan, they will be out of jobs.
what should be the attitude of teacher towards special
children....
Firstly,
they
feel that they are not fully competent and supported for this major shift and
it will be difficult to create a welcoming environment for children with
special needs even if they are really willing to do it.
Secondly,
the
public school is already under furious criticism for its extremely low
educational standards. The inclusion of special children will further
deteriorate the quality of instruction and the school may collapse.

The students and parents will resist
this shift
-
They fail to see the strength of
inclusive education as a school improvement plan.
