Comparative Study of Teachers, their Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Systems in the Institutes of Education and Research in Pakistani Universities

The main objective of the study was to know about the teachers and their teaching methodologies, and students’ assessment system used by them in the Institutes of Education and Research of universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. For the purpose, relevant information/data was collected from four Institutes of Education & Research randomly selected in public sector universities. It was found that senior staff members were lacking in the universities. However, the junior staff members were working as per the sanctioned posts. It was concluded that lecture method was frequently used by the faculty members and micro teaching method was neglected. As these Institutes are the major contributors to teacher education, therefore the implementation and promotion of modern teaching methods and techniques is the core responsibility of these institutes. So there is a dire need to use the modern methods of teaching in these institutes for their promotion, especially micro teaching method may be practiced properly in these institutes. The assessment procedures differed in all the universities, Vis, annual system, term system and semester system. The need is to bring out at par all the universities in adopting a similar system of assessment. So that, the efficiency of the students may be assessed on equal footing.
