This study was designed to see the effect of computer-assisted instruction as a supplementing strategy on the academic achievement of secondary school students in the subject of science. The major objectives of the study were: (1) To find out the relative effects of computer-assisted instruction as a supplementing strategy on academic achievement in science; and (2) To investigate the difference between treatment effects on male and female students. To achieve the objectives of the study, the following null hypotheses were tested: (1) There is no significant difference between the mean scores of the students taught science with CAI as supplementing strategy and without CAI; and (2) There is no significant difference between the mean scores of male and female students of experimental and control groups.

It shows resistance against all beta-lactam drugs and has acquired mechanisms to resist other groups of antibiotics. To tackle this emerging issue of MRSA, there is an urgent need for antibiotic alternatives, and utilizing lytic bacteriophages is one of the most promising therapeutic approaches. In the present study, a lytic bacteriophage TSP was isolated from hospital wastewater against MRSA. The phage efficiently inhibited bacterial growth for up to 12 h at MOI of 1 and 10. TSP phage showed activity against various isolates of MRSA and MSSA, isolated from different clinical samples, with variable antibiotic susceptibility patterns. The bacteriophage TSP showed stability at varying temperatures (25 °C, 37 °C) and pH values (5–9), while its maximum storage stability was observed at 4 °C. It had a short latent period (20 min) and burst size of 10...

Excessive use of antibiotics contributes towards emergence of multidrug-resistance. Bacteriophage-therapy is a potential substitute of antibiotics with many advantages. In this investigation, microbiological and genome characterization of TSK1 bacteriophage and its biofilm elimination capability are presented. TSK1 showed narrow host range and highest stability at pH 7 and 37 °C. TSK1 reduced the growth of K. pneumoniae during the initial 14 hours of infection. Post-treatment with TSK1 against different age K. pneumoniae biofilms reduced 85–100% biomass. Pre-treatment of TSK1 bacteriophage against the biofilm of Klebsiella pneumoniae reduced > 99% biomass in initial 24 hr of incubation. The genome of TSK1 phage comprised 49,836 base pairs with GC composition of 50.44%. Total seventy-five open reading frames (ORFs) were predicted, 25 showed homology with known functional pro...

The main objective was to find out the issues of evaluation of teaching practice and to recommend the ways for improvement of both the systems; in Punjab. For the sample of study, three formal while one non-formal including four regioal campuses were selected. The questionnaire was used to get the responses of teaching practice supervisors. Two hundred teaching practice supervisors were selected randomly in which 100 from formal institutions and 100 were selected from non-formal institutions. The problems and weaknesses of evaluation of teaching practice were found out by open ended items in the questionnaires which were analyzed by using ENVIVO. Majority of respondents said that duration of teaching practices is less and not sufficient. Few respondents expressed that prospective teachers are not being evaluated properly. Lack of qualified, experienced and expert supervisor is another major weakness in the current teaching practices in formal and non-formal system. Majority of teaching practice supervisors of formal system supposed that teaching practice supervisor involved the cooperating teacher in the evaluation while supervisors of non-formal system didn't. Major Suggestions were that time period of teaching practice should be increased up to 3 months; financial support (i.e. scholarship) should be provided. It was recommended that evaluation of teaching practice must be internal as well as external by experts. There is a need of continuous methods of evaluation of teaching practice for both institutions.

Population of this study was students at Federal College of Education. Sample of this study was randomly selected 230 student teachers. Data were collected from the student teachers by means of (LSS).Data was analyzed by using (SPSS) in terms of mean, independent sample t-test and ANOVA, the reliability of the inventory was 0.85 (Cronbach's Alpha). Results suggested that student teachers at Federal College of Education are low on independent, dependent participant learning styles, high on avoidant, collaborative and competitive learning style.

Flipped classroom is reverse type of classroom learning situation where students do more actively participation. It is a natural phenomenon that every individual of this world has different form one another. Individual differences take place in real classroom situations, and it is also a fact that males and females has different in nature, likes and dislikes, responsibilities and so on. Therefore, present study was aimed to compare the performance of male and female prospective teachers in two different classroom situations. Sample of 48 prospective teachers selected from one of the affiliated college of education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) was divided in two equal groups. Where experimental group consist 16 males and 08 female prospective teachers and the control group was consisted 14 females and 10 males. True experimental research design was used and data was collected through pre-test and post-test. The t-test and ANOVA were used for the purpose of data analysis. Data reveled that there was found no gender difference within the groups while the performance of experimental group male and female were outstanding than the performance of control group males and females. The males of experimental group were achieved higher mean scores than the male of control group likewise, female of experimental group were achieved higher scores than the scores of females of control group. Findings of the study are in the favor of flipped classroom strategy therefore, it is recommended that the flipped classroom strategy should be focused by the university teachers as well as policy makers in Pakistan.
