  3. Assalam-Mo-Alukum Sir, I am Pari Bano B.ed 1.5 ,it gives me immanence pleasure to share my learning developed after attending your class "Metacognation, thinking about thinking or thinking beyond thinking is fundamentally significant to enable learners to know what one's knows and does not known, it's totally about the cognition about cognition. Being an Early Childhood Development practitioner, i learnt and develop clear understanding that how to engage learners in Metacognation process, because it is most closely associated with Early Childhood Development(ECD) if it is done effectively from the early ages, it can lead the children to self regulation which is very important domain of early childhood development. Self Regulation begins with exploration and progress through invention and application..

    sir i am Abida Rasool Mir
    sir i m very pleased to give my opinion on your valuable educational and informative research base Article.
    INFORMATIVE PEDAGOGY approach is basically teaching method in which students are passive learner in which teacher transferred the knowledge but not able to give opportunity to share ideas.

  5. Assalam-o-Alaikum sir!
    I am Nadia Karim, a student of B.Ed. (1.5 yrs.)
    It has been a wonderful educational journey we spent in your kind guidance while learning about Critical Thinking. I personally learned so many things which truly proved to be effective in changing my traditional teaching pedagogies into new and modern techniques. To begin, learning about critical thinking itself remained amazing as it developed the habit of ‘Thinking Outside the Box’ in me which, I found helpful in dealing with the daily life experiences in an impressive way, by analyzing and evaluating the matters. Moreover, the session also gave an insight into the very essential parts of critical thinking that are Meta-cognition and self-regulation. They both play a massive role in developing critical thinking skills in learners by making them able to think about their own thinking and monitor their own comprehensions and assess their own abilities, which will result in making students an independent learner. Being a teacher now it has become my utmost goal to rise self-regulatory skills in students so that they will come to know that they are responsible for their own learning and will be able to monitor themselves without teacher’s help.
    Besides this, the way we are given knowledge about Blooms Taxonomy by contextualizing it and through classroom activities remained interesting. Now I am able to practically apply various levels of the Taxonomy in my instructional practices and is helpful in assessing the students understanding by keeping lower, middle and higher-order thinking in mind.
    Apart from this, I learned much about problem-solving, De Bono’s Thinking Hats, critical literacy, various strategies to raise critical thinking and critical reflection in particular, all contributing to critical thinking.it is essential for a teacher to be a critical practitioner first, in order to teach critical reflection in a better way.
    Thank you sir for your exceptional teaching.

  9. Critical Reflective Practice an approach to developing trans-formative living theory.
    Respected Sir!
    The article beautifully aims and tries to engage the learners (readers) in reflective practices and their significance in the process of education. The emphasis is on acquisition of text and context of newly learned knowledge.
    The inherited system (British) of education from the inception of Pakistan is in a state of limbo. In which the policy is developed considering the motive of donor. Moreover, the process is influenced by political as well as administrative authorities. Furthermore, their biased and personal interest have drastic impact on the whole process.
    Sir! in the situation you've opened a new window for teachers, students, teacher educators and policy makers by introducing the term "unconventional". The questions you've addressed in your doctoral study about the educative system/process of country (Pakistan) are rightly addressed, jack Whitehat, (2016) also argues that these are crucial and rightly addressed.
    In the article, it has been identified that starting of trans-formative teaching/educative process would start from writing self-reflection. The critical engagement will lead learners as well as teachers towards transformation.
    The progress in the process of teaching and learning process is highly appreciated in the article. The progressive approach ultimately result in innovation and invention of ideas. furthermore, the reflection leads towards the self realization of human being about his existence.
    Looking this view is the Hebermasian view (1972) of holistic approach to teacher education. Engaging teachers in the process of critically reflective practices will produce reflective practitioner and professional development agents. Those agents will ultimately challenge the conventional social settings of society and update it with contemporary world.

  10. (CRITICAL REFLECTION PRACTICE AN APPROACH TO DEVELOPING TRANSFORMATIONAL LIVING THEORY)
    Respected Sir!
    You have beautifully addressed the education system of Pakistan in your doctoral study and your critique points are also appreciated by the Father of living theory(jack White head).
    Sir, you've emphasized on self-reflection of individuals to make education process successful. The process of self-reflection able a man to understand him/her self and also help to overcome their loopholes.
    Sir, you have also mentioned that self-reflection is not important only for students, it is very important tool for professional development(teachers) as well. Because if a person understands him self then he/she will understand others. Like,Sir you mostly use during lectures in class that "NO ONE IS PERFECT IN WORLD EXCEPT ALLAH ALMIGHTY".

  11. Comment (from. Sajida parveen reg 1168 Sagira 1160 M.A education semester 2 section B.) on " Critical Reflective practice an approach to develop transformative educational living theory.Asalamo Aliekum Sir. We read your this academic paper and got most reasonable knowledge about the importance of critical reflective practice to promote transformative education which is beyond the process of informing and refining of information. you betterly identified the importance of critical engagement for proffesional education. This paper also engaged on British educational system and the importance of advanced concept of critical teaching and assesment as well as transformative reseaches. Sir you also considered unconventional approaches the best for today's educational system and many more. We have the best wishes for your future Success. Thank you Sir

  12. Assalam-o-Alaikum Sir!
    we have gone through the article of your doctoral study, in which you pinpointed the causes of Pakistan’s low standard or low qualitative education, as a response you claimed three reasons for low qualitative education firstly its donor driver agenda, secondly the education policy which was made in accordance to British educational policy which they had designed for subcontinent, within their policy they had fixed some immediate aims or outcomes which limited us with technical interest of education and it is still in application in our context, thirdly we are still in the primary stage of getting education i.e. information philosophy of education .
    At last Sir you discuss some findings through which we improve low standard of education system:
    1. Multi epistemic lens.
    2. Critical reflective practice.
    3. Unconventional thinking.
    4. Developing transformative living theory.
    Thank you sir

  20. Currently, there is no free trial for ESPN Plus, but ESPN Plus is still high selling due to affordable prices. The ESPN Plus cost $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year is not much if you count the contents of ESPN+. ESPN Plus free trial was offered in the past but ended in 2020, but an affordable monthly rate allows you to check out the service and see if its content catalog is the one for you.
