Domestic violence, a pervasive issue affecting women's mental health worldwide, is particularly acute in Faisalabad's socio-economic milieu, where economic hardships heighten mental distress. Employing a methodology that surveyed 300 married women aged 18-55 using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), the Clinical Anger Scale (CAS), and a Domestic Violence Questionnaire, this research analyzed data via SPSS to determine the relationship between domestic violence and mental health issues. The results underscored a significant positive correlation between domestic violence and mental health afflictions, identifying domestic violence as a crucial predictor of such conditions, with nuanced differences observed between employed and unemployed respondents. Thus, the research supports women's empowerment by highlighting mental health awareness, gender-sensitive healthcare, community involvement, and cultural changes that promote wellness.","PeriodicalId":500552,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan social sciences review","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140359125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, it explored the opportunities given to students and teachers to exercise translanguaging as a pedagogy in English language teaching (ELT) to promote cultural heterogeneity. Secondly, it uncovered the challenges faced by students and teachers to implement translanguaging as a decolonizing tool to counter imperialistic English language teaching practices. Thirdly, it concluded that translanguaging may prove an effective teaching methodology to make students more confident to use their linguistic repertoire in the 2 nd language English learning classrooms. Following a quantitative research methodology, the data were collected through a Google Form from the students of public sector universities. Later, the obtained data were analyzed through SPSS to see the descriptive value of the variables.

The research focused specifically on class 8th students in the subject of English. The chosen research design was experimental, employing pre-test post-test control group design. This design allowed for the measurement and observation of both the groups experimental and control before and after exposure to a treatment. The population of the study included all students enrolled at Government Girls Middle School Koteri Qandeel Bagh, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. A sample of forty students was selected for the study, with twenty students assigned to each of the two groups. The data collection process involved conducting pre and post-tests in the classroom, administered before and after the intervention. Data was analyzed using independent and paired sample t-test. The findings revealed a significant and positive effect of lesson planning on the academic performance of students. These results have important implications for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers, emphasizing the critical role of effective lesson planning in enhancing students' academic achievements at the elementary level. By implementing well-structured and engaging lesson plans, educators can optimize teaching and learning experiences, leading to improved educational outcomes. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating comprehensive lesson planning strategies in curriculum design and instructional practices. Future research should further explore the long-term effects of lesson planning on academic performance, considering diverse subjects and student populations. By embracing evidence-based practices, educators can continue to enhance teaching methods and foster academic progress among elementary school students.
