Meaning of Educational Research
According to Mouly, -
Educational Research is the systematic application of scientific method for solving educational problem.
Travers thinks, -
Educational Research is the activity for developing science of behavior in educational situations. It allows the educator to achieve his goals effectively.
According to Whitney, -
Educational Research aims at finding out solution of educational problems by using scientific philosophical method.
So Educational Research is-
- Process of Generating the New Knowledge
- To Solve the Educational Problems
- Which is Purposeful, Precise, Objective, Scientific and Systematic
- Through Organize the data Quantitatively and Qualitatively
- which depends on the Researchers Ability, Ingenuity and Experience
Scope of Educational Research
Being scientific study of Educational Process, it involves :
- Biotic Elements of Education (Student, teachers, educational managers, parents, etc.)
- Non-Biotic Elements of education (Schools, colleges, research institutes, curriculum etc.)

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Sources of knowledge
1. SOURCES OF KNOWLWDGE

Govt. College of Science,
Wahdat Road, Lahore
2. Sources of Knowledge
ī Many ways to gain knowledge
ī Some are better than others
ī Reliability and accuracy ways of acquiring knowledge
ī Science as a means of gaining knowledge
ī Philosopher/Scholars as mean of knowledge
ī Spiritual leaders as a source of knowledge
ī Islam as a Source of Knowledge
3. Meaning of Source & Knowledge
ī´Source is a place, person, or thing from which something
originates or can be obtained.
Concept of Knowledge
ī´Knowledge includes the fact or condition of knowing
which is gained through experience or association.
ī´Any new information acquired by an organism
through formal, informal or non formal way of inquiry
can be termed as knowledge.
4. Definitions of Knowledge
Plato has examined 3 definitions of knowledge which are:
ī Knowledge is perception or sensation
ī Knowledge is true belief
ī Knowledge is true belief accompanied by a rational
ground
Plato finally called knowledge as âJustified truthâ
Dewey denotes knowledge as âinference from truthâ
(A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning)
5. Definitions of Knowledge
ī According to the most widely accepted definitions
âknowledge is justified true beliefâ
ī It is a kind of belief is supported by the fact that both
knowledge and belief can have the same objects and that what
is true of someone who believes something to be the case is
also true, among other things, of one who knows it.
ī´For example, sun rises in the east is the knowledge or true
belief that is supported by the fact which is arrived at through
daily observations for millions of years by people.
6. Types of Acquiring of knowledge
ī´Unscientific sources of knowledge
ī´Scientific sources of knowledge
ī´Divine Books
ī´Ahdees/ Seerat
7. Unscientific sources of knowledge
1.Superstition and Intuition
Gaining knowledge via superstition means âAcquiring
knowledge that is based on subjective feelings, or believing
in magical events.
For example, you may have heard someone say âBad things
happen in threes.â Where does this idea come from? has ever
documented that bad events occur in threes?
8. Superstition and Intuition (cont.)
ī´Some people believe that breaking a mirror brings 7 years
of bad luck or that the number 13 is unlucky. Once again,
these are examples of superstitious beliefs that are not
based on observation or hypothesis testing.
knowledge via intuition
Knowledge gained without being consciously aware of its
source.
9. 2.knowledge via intuition
When we gain knowledge via intuition, it means that we have
knowledge of something without being consciously aware of
where the knowledge came from.
You have probably heard people say things like âI donât know, itâs
just a gut feelingâ or âI donât know, it just came to me, and I know
itâs true.â These statements represent examples of intuition.
Sometimes we intuit something based not on a âgut feelingâ but
on events we have observed. The problem is that the events may
be misinterpreted and not representative of all events in that
category.
10. 3.Authority
knowledge via authority means Knowledge gained from those
viewed as authority figures. When we accept what a respected
or famous person tells us.
ī´Parents as authority figures
ī´Teachers as authority figures
For example, in some time periods and cultures, the church and
its leaders were responsible for providing much of the
knowledge that individuals gained throughout their lives.
11. 4.Tenacity
Gaining knowledge via tenacity involves hearing a piece of
information so often that you begin to believe it is true, and then,
despite evidence to the contrary, you cling stubbornly to the belief.
ī´Method is often used in political campaigns, where a particular
slogan is repeated so often that we begin to believe it.
ī´Advertisers also use the method of tenacity by repeating their
slogan for a certain product over and over until people begin to
associate the slogan with the product and believe that the
product meets its claims.
ī´Tenacity is something, which psychologically force the people to
accept it.
12. 5.Rationalism
ī´Knowledge gained through logical reasoning.
With this approach, ideas are precisely stated and logical
rules are applied to arrive at a logically sound conclusion.
Rational ideas are often presented in the form of a syllogism.
For example:
All humans are mortal;
I am a human;
Therefore, I am mortal.
For example:
Attractive people are good;
Hafiz Irshad is attractive;
Therefore, Hafiz Irshad is good.
13. 6.Empiricism
ī´Knowledge via empiricism involves gaining knowledge
through objective observation and the experiences of your
senses.
ī´An individual who says âI believe nothing until I see it
with my own eyesâ is an empiricist.
ī´The empiricist gains knowledge by seeing, hearing,
tasting, smelling, and touching.
14. 7.Tradition
ī´Much social related knowledge are preserved and
transmitted through traditions.
ī´Much information which is largely depends on traditions
ī´ Certain beliefs are accepted as truths
ī´Certain practices are accepted, simply based on custom.
ī´Knowledge passed down through generations
15. 8.Trial and Error
ī´Trial and Error is one of the ways of acquiring new knowledge
ī´Individual learn more things through trial and error process
ī´Knowledge related to practical, professional. Skilled and semi
skilled professions are largely depends on the source of
knowledge.
ī´For example: use of computer, Smart phone, driving, Cricket,
Teaching etc.
16. Sources of Knowledge IN REVIEW
SOURCE DESCRIPTION ADVANTAGES/
DISADVANTAGES
Superstition Gaining knowledge through subjective feelings, Not
empirical or logical interpreting random events as
nonrandom events or believing in magical events
Not empirical or logical
Intuition Gaining knowledge without being consciously Not
empirical or logical aware of where the knowledge came
from
Not empirical or logical
Authority Gaining knowledge from those viewed as authority figures Not empirical or logical;
authority figure may not
be an expert in the area
Tenacity Gaining knowledge by clinging stubbornly to
repeated ideas, despite evidence to the contrary
Not empirical or logical
Rationalism Gaining knowledge through logical reasoning Logical but not empirical
Empiricism Gaining knowledge through observations of organisms and
events in the real world
Empirical but not
necessarily systematic
17. Scientific sources of knowledge
ī´Scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence and is
appropriate for understanding the natural world.
ī´It provides only a limited understanding of the supernatural,
aesthetic, or other ways of knowing, such as art, philosophy, or
religion.
ī´Scientific knowledge is durable and robust but open to change.
ī´ Because science is based on empirical evidence scientists
strive for objectivity.
19. Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge (cont.)
Objectivity: Scientific knowledge is objective. Objectivity
simple means the ability to see and accept facts as they are,
not as one might wish them to be.
Verifiability: Scientific knowledge is based on verifiable
evidence (concrete factual observations) so that other
observers can observe, weigh or measure the same
phenomena and check out observation for accuracy.
Ethical Neutrality: Science is ethically neutral.
