بے خبری کی آغوش ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ ارشد معراج (اسسٹنٹ پروفیسر انٹر نیشنل یونیورسٹی اسلام آباد)

انہیں سردی نہیں لگتی

 

انہیں ذلت کی ساعت نے پرانے سیم نالوں کے کناروں پر گھسیٹا ہے

اور ان کے کالے ہونٹوں پر لگی ہے مہر صدیوں سے   

یہ کلر تھور دھرتی میں ہری خواہش کو بونے کی مشقت میں لگے ہیں

یہاں ”سابیریا“ سے آۓ پکھنو جب بھی کوندر میں مچلتے ہیں            

تو گارے سے بنیرے لیپ کرنے والیوں کے چولہے جلتے ہیں

کبھی چارے کی گھرلی میں پڑے شلجم ۔۔۔۔۔۔                        

ورگرنہ ساگ اور آدھی ادھوری روٹیاں

سوکھے بدن میں سوچ بھی لکنت زدہ ، سرگوشیاں ۔۔۔۔۔۔

” چاچا!

خدا دا شکر کر دے ہاں

جے اس ساڈے تے ایہہ ازمیش پاٸی ھیہ

جو او کردا ہمیشہ ٹھیک ای کردا

پر اے دسیں جو نمبردار مر سی

وت اے اوکھت گھٹ نہ ویسی “

کبھی خوابوں کی گھٹڑی کو اٹھانے سے سفر مشکل نہیں ہوتا

مگر سورج تو روزانہ ہی مشرق سے نکلتا ہے

اور آنکھوں کا حسیں عدسہ سکڑتا ہے

زوال آۓ تو مغرب میں وہ چھپتا ہے

ہمیشہ چندر اور مایا کٸی میلوں پہ بستے ہیں

انہیں بستی میں آنے کا کبھی رستہ نہیں ملتا

ہمیشہ پوہ رہتا ہے

پرالی کے سلگنے سے کہاں یہ ٹھنڈ جاتی ہے

An Investigation of Attitudes, Competencies, and Performance in Research Activities of University Teachers

This blend of descriptive and causal comparative or ex-post facto study in the domain of quantitative approach was aimed to describe and investigate the cause and effect relationships two independent variables, research attitudes and research competencies, with a third dependent variable, performance of university teachers in research. Faculty of public sector general universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan was the population of the study. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 240 teachers from six randomly selected universities. An attitude scale based on five-point Likert technique was developed. Its items were classified into six domains—research orientation, rewards influence research, personal interest, mission of university, research use, and research anxiety. Similarly, a competency scale, with seven factors, knowledge and ability associated with research, awareness of different research types, ability to plan professional-quality research, ability to conduct research analysis, research reporting, proposal writing, and ability to implement aspects of quality research, was formulated. To measure performance an inventory with five performance indicators—publications, dissertation supervised, projects developed, research grants, and paper presented—was framed. Validity was ensured by peer and expert review; and reliability coefficients were 0.76 and 0.73 for attitude and competency scales respectively. Statistical analyses were done by employing averages, percentages, mean ratings, chi-square (χ2), Pearson values, F test, covariance, and regression statistics. Teachers exhibited positive attitudes towards research, and incentives played crucial role in enhancing interest in scholarly activities. Research anxiety did not hamper intellectual activities though significant per cent considered research stressful. Faculty showed efficacy and mastery over different research competencies such as knowledge and ability associated with research in the areas of personal and professional responsibility, awareness of different research types, and to plan professional-quality research. Senior faculty on the average displayed better performance, perhaps in line with longevity of their service and experience. Performance in publications and dissertation supervision was comparatively better as compare to project development, winning over research grants, and paper presentation. Research attitudes and research competencies displayed positive correlation with performance.
