    Alignment of learning environment with national learning outcomes at secondary level
    (UMT.Lahore, 2017) JAVERIA
    The study investigates alignment of the learning environment with the achievement of national learning outcomes at secondary level. It envisaged exploring answers to three broad questions entailing perceptions of the students regarding learning environment and learning objectives; disparity between the two, and the ways to address the gaps if any. Following a mixed method approach, data was collected employing targeting sample population from six schools from Lahore District. Sample included 177 secondary school students 71 from public sector and 106 from private sector of which 92 were males and 85 females. An instrument (questionnaire) on five point Likert type scale was used to collect the data. The descriptive and Correlational statistics were applied to analyze the data. The study finds contrasting results. It broadly finds alignment of learning environment with learning objectives accompanied by a variety of disparate perceptions. This makes the majority view somewhat suspect on the issue, which is validated by several gaps between the two. Further, the role of teacher as facilitator does not come out strongly. Lack of adherence to modern teaching practices in addition to absence of students’ perception in the knowledge evaluation process in the schools is also highlighted by the study. Finally, the research finds communication gap between the students and teachers which negatively influences the learning environment. This tension warrants resolution. Broad response measures have been suggested to address the problems identified by the research.

    Borrowing and code switching
    (UMT.Lahore, 2024) JAVERIA
    The aim of this work is to discuss the cases of code-switching and borrowing in the English-Urdu language used by Pakistanis using the theoretic stratagem proposed by Labov and Gumperz’s to investigate the correlation of language and culture within the given society. The research is demographic in nature and uses both questionnaire and participant observation in data collection. Data collected in quantitatively measuring and describing linguistic behaviors is analyzed objectively and manipulated quantitatively to be able to establish trends and patterns with statistical reliability. Quantitative research is selected in this study because it permits collection and analysis of number data through which researchers see tendencies and relationship in code-switching and borrowing among Pakistani Urdu speakers. This way quantitative approach can determine how often the diversity language is used and in what situations and the results can be in great measure generalized on the population, which would be practically impossible with the help of qualitative approach.

    Pre-marital relationship
    (UMT.Lahore, 2022) JAVERIA
    The purpose of this research was to find out relationship between pre-marital relationship, perceived stress, Grit, academic self-efficacy and academic performance. There were many previous researches that showed relationship between grit, perceived stress, academic self-efficacy, academic performance but this currently research focused on pre marital relationship; grit perceived stress as independent variable with the relationship academic self –efficacy, academic performance as dependent variable. This study was based on correlational cross sectional research design and used purposive sampling technique for data collection of n= 302 sample sizes from undergraduates university students .Scale that was used; 12 items grit scale by (Duckworth et.al 2009), perceived stress scale by Sheldon Cohen ( Cohen et al.,1983) , Romantic love scale by (Rubin,1970) , academic self-efficacy scale by (Sachitra, 2017) and academic achievement measured by student‟s CGPA . Pearson correlational and regression analysis was used to find out the results so, the findings showed that academic self-efficacy was positively correlated with pre-marital romantic relationship, sub factor of grit; perseverance of effort and academic performance. On the other hand, perceived stress was negatively correlated perseverance of effort and positively correlated with premarital romantic relationship. Furthermore, pre-marital romantic relationship, perceived stress and grit did not predict CGPA but these variables predicted academic self-efficacy except consistency of interest; sub factor of grit.
