Abstract:
“Whole Person Education” is an ideal educational concept, aiming at correcting the instrumentality of modern and contemporary educational purposes, and devoting itself to cultivating all-around talents with sound personality and comprehensive development, which is called a great revolution in education. The idea of “Whole Person Education” also provides a brand-new perspective for the study of English education in normal universities, which is of great practical significance. At present, English education in normal universities in China attaches too much importance to the transmission of English knowledge and the cultivation of language skills, ignoring the cultivation and edification of students’ feelings and moralities. This paper first analyzes the ideological characteristics of “Whole Person Education” and then explores the application of “Whole Person Education” in the teaching of English majors in normal universities: the construction of a general education curriculum system, the integration of whole-person education and professional courses, the development of comprehensive practical activities, the improvement of teacher training programs, and the rational positioning of teaching, positioning of the teacher’s role, the cultivation of students’ critical thinking ability and the improvement of English curriculum evaluation mechanism. This paper aims to promote the all-round development of students’ abilities and improve the teaching quality of English majors in normal universities by exploring the construction of English education model in the perspective of “Whole Person Education.”

6) On the Reflection of Naturalism in the characters in The Sea Wolf
Author Details: Zeng Xiu
Abstract:
The Sea Wolf is a psychological adventure novel by an American novelist Jack London, published in 1904. The book’s protagonist, Humphrey van Weyden, is a literary critic who is a survivor of an ocean collision and who comes under the dominance of Wolf Larsen, the powerful and amoral sea captain who rescues him. It combines elements of naturalism and romantic adventure. Among numerous works of Jack London, The Sea Wolf enjoys a quite high literary status, which is actually known all over the world, which western critics have given very high comment. It tells the story of a soft, domesticated protagonist who is forced to become tough and self-reliant by exposure to cruelty and brutality. Naturalism is a scientific method employed here to depict the characters in the novel in which a character’s fate has been decided, even predetermined, by impersonal forces of nature beyond human control. The novel is an experiment where the author could discover and analyze the forces, or scientific laws, that influence behavior, and these include emotion, heredity, and environment

Abstract:
Introduction: Oral health is known as, an important part of the overall health of every person but it may not be provided as it is needed for hospitalized children worldwide. Oral hygiene done by a nurse is not appropriate especially, in a patient who is semiconscious and non-cooperating.  Objectives: Assess the skills among nurses regarding the provision of oral health care to patients in Pediatric Intensive Care Units.Research Methodology: The cross- sectional descriptive Survey approach was used. This study was conducted in three Government hospitals from Lahore. 100 nurses participated from different PICU. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. Findings and Discussion: The result of the observation made by a researcher also showed that majority of the nurses were providing care to the intubated patients once or two times per shift but oral care for non-intubated patients was not taken as a   priority by nurses working in PICU. The second factor was   non availability of oral care applicators and solutions in these particular areas. That may create a hindrance in providing standardized oral care in seriously ill children as for nursing skill in oral care that was observed by researcher in PICU; result showed that nurses were not paying attention to this critical issue because of not having any guideline regarding oral care and be unaware of the oral complication that may arise as a result of neglected oral. Conclusion: the standardized oral hygiene has considerable contribution to improve oral care practice of nurses working in intensive care units hence be organized with better information and practice recommendation. This shortcoming of nurse’s practices can be improved through short courses. It was also observed that there was the absence of the guideline/protocol .Therefore, there is the need of the hour to develop the protocol/guideline for nurses to advance the nurses practice

Abstract:
The Punjab government decision for changing medium of teaching from Urdu to English created disturbance among the teachers. Because Urdu was being used as medium of instruction even prior to creation of Pakistan, so, it was difficult for teachers to modify their minds, for English as language of instruction. Teachers showed less confidence in their capabilities and faced problems in adjusting themselves in new environment and while delivering education to the students efficiently. They were hesitant to absorb the change. Keeping in view the situation, the present study was conducted to measure and compare the willingness, confidence level and self-efficacy beliefs of the teachers of Urdu and English, on the basis of school level  The study aimed to explore the self-efficacy beliefs of school teachers and make a comparison on the basis of school level. For the purpose, the sample of teachers who were teaching Urdu or English to any of the classes from 1-10 was taken.
Survey method was used and for multistage stratified random and convenient sampling technique was adopted. Sample size was 864 with 432 male teachers and 432 female teachers form 216 randomly selected schools, out of which there  were 429 Urban and 435 rural teachers, 452 were teaching English and 412 were teaching Urdu in selected primary, elementary and secondary schools of the nine districts, selected from three administrative divisions of the Punjab province randomly.
Data were collected using adopted version of  Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) developed by Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk (2001) For data collection the scale having 24 items on the three different sub scales was used. Bilingual version of the questionnaire was used for the convenience of respondents and analyzed using independent sample t-test, two way and multivariate analysis of variance.  The study revealed that level of teachers’ school showed valuable effects on the self-efficacy score of the teachers. Urdu teachers had more self-efficacious value; hence, Urdu teachers felt high level of contentment and comfort in teaching as compared to their colleagues i.e. English teachers. Moreover, primary school teachers demonstrated high level of self-efficacious power as compared to elementary and  secondary school teachers.
