Aga Khan University Examination Board Islamiyat SSC Syllabus 2022 5 Preface Established in 2002 through the Pakistan government’s ordinance, the Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) is country’s first private autonomous qualification awarding body for secondary (SSC) and higher secondary (HSSC) school certifications. Its vision is to be a model of excellence and innovation in education in Pakistan and the developing world. AKU-EB achieves its vision by developing examination syllabi which inculcate conceptual thinking and higher order learning and are aligned with National/ trans-provincial curricula and international standards. AKU-EB revises its syllabi periodically to support the needs of students, teachers and examiners. The aims of the syllabus review of SSC and HSSC are to: • Ensure continued compatibility with the goals of the trans-provincial curricula of Pakistan. • Review the content for inclusion of new knowledge and deletion of obsolete knowledge. • Review the content for clarity and relevance as per the changing needs of students, teachers and examiners. • Enhance and strengthen continuation and progression of content both within and across grades IX - XII (SCC and HSSC). • Ensure the readiness of students for higher education. During the syllabus review, the needs of all the stakeholders were identified through a needsassessment survey. Students and teachers of AKU-EB affiliated schools from across Pakistan participated in the survey. Thereafter, a revision panel, which consisted of examiners, teachers of affiliated and non-affiliated schools, teacher trainers and university academicians, reviewed and revised the syllabus following a planned, meticulous and standardised syllabi review process. The syllabus is organised into topics and subtopics. Each subtopic is further divided into achievable student learning outcomes (SLOs). The SLOs of the cognitive domain are each assigned a cognitive level on which they have to be achieved. These cognitive levels are ‘knowledge’, ‘understanding’ and ‘application’, the latter also including other higher order skills. This is followed by the Exam Specification which gives clear guidance about the weightage of each topic and how the syllabus will be assessed. The development of the revised syllabus has been made possible by the creativity and relentless hard work of Curriculum and Examination Development unit and the constant support provided by all the other units of AKU-EB. We are particularly thankful to Dr Sohail Qureshi for his very useful feedback on revising the syllabus review process, to Dr Naveed Yousuf for his continued guidance and support throughout the syllabus revision process and to Raabia Hirani for leading the syllabi revision. We are also thankful to all the students and teachers who took part in the needs-assessment survey and to the principals of AKU-EB affiliated schools who made this endeavour possible by facilitating and encouraging their teachers to be a part of the survey and the syllabus revision panel.
Aga Khan University Examination Board Islamiyat SSC Syllabus 2022 6 With your support and collective hard work, AKU-EB has been able to take the necessary steps to ensure effective implementation of the best international and trans-provincial standards through this syllabus. We are confident that this syllabus will continue to provide the support that is needed by students to progress to the next level of education and we wish the very best to our students and teachers in implementing this syllabus.

Aga Khan University Examination Board Islamiyat SSC Syllabus 2022 7 Understanding of AKU-EB Syllabi 1. The AKU-EB syllabi guide the students, teachers, parents and other stakeholders regarding the topics that will be taught and examined in each grade (IX, X, XI and XII). In each syllabus document, the content progresses from simple to complex, thereby, facilitating a gradual, conceptual learning of the content. 2. The topics of the syllabi are divided into subtopics and student learning outcomes (SLOs). The subtopics and the SLOs define the depth and the breadth at which each topic will be taught, learnt and examined. The syllabi also provide enabling SLOs where needed to scaffold student learning. 3. Each SLO starts with an achievable and assessable command word such as describe, relate, evaluate, etc. The purpose of the command words is to direct the attention of teachers and students to specific tasks that the students are expected to undertake in the course of their studies. The examination questions are framed using the same command words or their connotations to elicit evidence of these competencies in students’ responses. 4. The SLOs are classified under three cognitive levels: knowledge (K), understanding (U) and application and other higher order skills (A) for effective planning during teaching and learning. Furthermore, it will help to derive multiple choice questions (MCQs), constructed response questions (CRQs) and extended response questions (ERQs) on a rational basis from the subject syllabi. 5. By focusing on the achievement of the SLOs, these syllabi aim to counter the culture of rote memorisation as the preferred method of examination preparation. While suggesting relevant, locally available textbooks for achieving these outcomes, AKU-EB recommends that teachers and students use multiple teaching and learning resources for achieving these outcomes. 6. The syllabi follow a uniform layout for all subjects to make them easier for students and teachers to follow. They act as a bridge between students, teachers and assessment specialists by providing a common framework of student learning outcomes and exam specifications. 7. On the whole, the AKU-EB syllabi for Secondary School Certificate (SSC) provide a framework that helps students to acquire conceptual understanding and learn to critically engage with it. This lays a solid foundation for HSSC and beyond.
Aga Khan University Examination Board Islamiyat SSC Syllabus 2022 8 Subject Rationale of AKU-EB Islamiyat There is, perhaps, a greater need today for Muslims to be deeply inspired with their faith, its history and its ethics to better meet the challenges of the contemporary world. The spirit of the objectives of the trans-provincial curricula documents for Islamiyat revolves around these areas and this examination syllabus of AKU-EB follows this in letter and spirit. Islamiyat is a compulsory subject for all the students of SSC, as per the National/ transprovincial curricula, except for non-Muslim candidates who may opt for ‘Ethics’. The objectives of the trans-provincial syllabi emphasise that students should be able to know and understand their faith with firm beliefs in the basic concepts of Tawheed (oneness of Allah) and finality of prophethood; obey and love Allah and the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and learn to live by the ethics of their faith in the light of the teachings of the Qur’an and Sira of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.). This examination syllabus considers all the content areas as given in the trans-provincial curricula documents; these are Al-Qur’ān, Al-Hadith, Mozuaati Mutalia, which cover the basic beliefs, religious obligations, biography (Sira) and prophetic model (Uswah Hasanah) of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and ethics. It derives its students learning outcomes from these content areas. The syllabus emphasises on the meaning and understanding of the Qur’anic text and the Hadith (traditions) of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.), as meaning is significant to know and reflect how guidance and inspiration can be sought from these two sources by Muslim students in living their lives today. Another important objective of this syllabus is to introduce the sources of guidance/ famous personalities of Islam. In this topic, the great personalities who dedicated their lives for Islam and its elevation have been mentioned. At the same time, the students will also feel the need of how they can bring changes in the practical life from the life and character of these great personalities in today's context. These students will also develop attitudes that were characteristic of these personalities, for example, tolerance, diversity, respect for pluralism, courage and persistence, pursuit of intellectual, spiritual and moral values, etc. The AKU-EB SSC Islamiyat examinations in both Classes IX and X will be confined to the contents of Islamiyat textbooks published by the provincial textbook boards. However, for further information and extensive study on these topics, teachers and students are expected to make use of the suggested reference books and resource guides. How to approach the syllabus? The topics and the student learning outcomes (SLOs) guide regarding the details about what has to be achieved. And finally, the exam specification guides regarding what will be expected in the examination.
