The study was planned to explore theeffects of motivational orientation on the learning of drawing in students withintellectual disabilities (ID). A stratified random sampling technique was usedto select 200 students with ID (147 male, 53 female) from Lahore Divisionbelonging to the age range 10 to 21 years. The Scale of Intrinsic versusExtrinsic Orientations in the classroom Questionnaire (IEO) developed byHarter (1981) containing 30 items (score 1 describes most extrinsic and score4 describes most intrinsic) was used to identify the motivational orientation ofthe students with ID. Beery VMI 6th.ed (Beery, 2010) containing 24 drawingshapes were administered to explore the learning of drawing skills in thestudents with ID. Both scales were found to be reliable for the given populationas ...

The purpose of the study was to explore differences in SI of VIAs and varying demographic factors. For this purpose, sample of 385 VIAs (204 males, 181 females) of age range 11 to 19 years, was taken from two divisions of Punjab, that is, Rawalpindi and Lahore, Pakistan. Translated Urdu version of Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) containing 21 items was used to get responses on Likert-type scale from 1 ( describes me extremely poorly) to 7 ( describes me extremely well). The tool was found to be reliable for the given population as alpha reliability of Urdu-translated TSIS was 0.91 and test–retest reliability was 0.748. Mean, frequencies, and percentages were used to summarize the results. Multiple comparison analysis was computed to assess significant differences regarding gender, socioeconomic status (SES), education, and...

Four pillars of requirement engineering procedures underpin the entire software. The bricks that make up the software edifice are functional and non-functional needs. Finally, design, implementation, and testing add stories to the foundation, allowing a full software tower to be built on top of it. As a result, the foundation must be strong enough to support the remainder of the software tower. Requirement engineers have various hurdles to design successful software for this purpose. Requirement Engineering (RE) is emerging as an increasingly important discipline to promote the development of web applications, as these are designed to meet various stakeholder requirements, additional functional, information, multimedia, and usability requirements compared to traditional software applications. The requirements of software systems are a very important area in software enginee...

The population of the study comprised the children with special needs studying in grade 1-10 in 4 model government special education institutions in Islamabad. The sample of 10 special children from each grade was randomly selected. A questionnaire was developed for classifying the parents with special children into poor, middle class and well off. The questionnaire was developed for teachers to obtain information regarding academic status of the special children. The medical case history forms and the observation checklist were used to assess the health condition of the sample. The data collected through the questionnaire were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS. A strong correlation was obtained between socioeconomic status and health conditions as well as academic status ...

The paths ahead in computer science world are defined by cloud computing; is now becoming the most sought after technology in the IT industry. Cloud is a collection of computer resources and provides over a million services to its user. The user-friendly environment and many services are provided by the cloud. Cloud computing is a computing model that uses the Internet to share information and resources to computers and software and other devices. Google, Microsoft, IBM and Amazon are the current cloud service provider. The evolution of cloud computing in terms of on-demand service can handle such massive data. Cloud computing provides us with a variety of services, such as infrastructure one service (IAAS), platform one service (PAAS) and software one service (SAAS). With the popularity of cloud computing, the number of cloud service providers and services has increased significant...

In the last few years many people know much about the success rate of Requirement Engineering in a project’s success. The agile approach will produce a high standard product in less budget and time. With the passage of time, consumers will be more appealing as their technology standards increase rapidly every day. Agile software development (ASD) is an iterative and gradual approach to development that relies on the participation of customers in the development process. So, we can conclude that organizations are still struggling with agile evolution and agile values, especially when it comes to user involvement. Although much research has been carried out on the role of requirement engineering in agile methodologies and practices, more studies are still needed. The aim of this research is to analyze and compare researchers ' work, which will help those who are interested in finding interesting ...

Testing in native language is essential if an audiologist or speech and language therapist wants to test the speech perception capacities of an individual and to use the data for further planning and monitoring of the therapeutic efforts. Numerous speech perception tests are available in different international and regional languages. But in Urdu language, no such tool is available to the clinicians to check the speech perception abilities of hearing impaired individuals. Therefore, this study was designed to: (1) estimating the frequency of occurrence of Urdu consonants; (2) developing a speech perception test in Urdu Language for children with hearing impairment; and (3) establishing the reliability and validity of the test. Methods: This study was carried out in three stages. In stage I, structural attributes of the test were planned. Dur...

However, the high level of digital exclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities is well-documented. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of two different pedagogies for students with intellectual disability (ID). The main objective was the comparison of assistive technology and the traditional teaching method for improving Urdu vocabulary. Using a quasi-experimental design, 8 ID students of 10 to 15 yearsof age were selected and divided into control and experimental groups. Their performance was measured before and after a six-week intervention program. The results showed that mobile-based technology improved the experimental group’s performance as compared to the control group. The technology had a positive impact on the learning of Urdu vocabulary by students with ID. The findings suggest that learning the Urdu language through game-based software/programs/utilities can improve students’ learning...
