1: INTRODUCTION
�
Teachers are the backbone of the education system. Without the best trained teachers, society and country can acquire targets in every field of life to succeed in the world. Through a standardized education system, nations cannot only make them strong in the field of economy, but they also can communicate their cultural heritage to the coming generations. So the quality of education imparted is directly related to its teachers.
The Commission on National Education (1959) put it as under:
“No education system can rise above the teachers, who serve it and its quality depends ultimately upon the quality and efforts of the teachers. Education is direct nation building activity and if leader of thought and action, on various walks of life are to be produced; the country’s best teacher must be used in the teaching profession” (p.219)
Teachers constitute the major school input. Teaching skills are positively related to student performance. Although teachers qualifications, certifications, educational attainments and knowledge are the most frequently used measures of their class-worthiness, one factor that has not been given due attention specially in the developing countries is the content and method of teacher training. The education commission 1959 observed:
“Of all the different factors which influence the quality of education and its contributions to national development, the quality, the competence and character of teachers is undoubtedly the most significant. Nothing is more important than securing a sufficient supply of high quality recruits to the teaching profession, providing them with the best possible professional and creating satisfactory conditions of work in which they can be fully effective.”(Pp.102-103)
Teaching is one of the most important components of the education process. Teaching is used as a way of making something known to others, usually in the routine of school. Teaching is a sacred profession. It has been the profession of the Prophets. Those who teach are teachers and teachers have been and are respected in all religions and societies. According to Webster dictionary, teaching is to communicate knowledge or skill or to give insight by example or experience. A teacher will be best defined as the organization of learning and successful teaching seeks to organize learning for authentic results.
Farris, (1996) A teacher provides service for society because no one can become a doctor, lawyer, police officer etc without first going to elementary and secondary schools. Perhaps, no other profession is as rewarding and challenging as teaching (p21).
Stronge, (2002) Teachers have a powerful, long lasting influence on their students. They directly affect how students learn, what they learn, how much they learn and the ways they interact with one another and the world around them (1-15).
Yasmeen Akhtar, (2006) Good training can help teachers to cope with the complex demands of teaching a large number of students for five or more periods per day. Improper training, on the other hand, interferes with teaching and learning which causes interruptions, delays and waste of time. Infact good teacher trainings are necessary for healthy learning environment in schools. Better-trained and qualified teachers may make a difference for student achievement and learning at classroom and school. (Pp-11-12)
Highly trained teachers work differently with groups in their classrooms because they posses new knowledge about teaching and learning. So it is rightly said that the quality of education system is directly related to the quality of the teacher. A teacher is considered a more crucial factor in implementing all educational reforms at grassroots level.
1.1 TEACHER:
To Iqbal (1996), “The quality of education imparted depends to a large extent on the quality of teachers” (P-9).
It is a fact that a teacher is a change-beginning agent of the society. Challenges of the present society can be responded if the teachers are dedicated to their profession and are well equipped with the modern teaching techniques.
The teacher shows a pivotal role in any educational system and maintains a standard. It also matters a great deal how far teachers are knowledgeable, professionally trained and committed to their profession. Today the task of the teacher has become really challenging.
Because, teachers are now not only required to integrate theory and practice to improve schooling but are also required to teach a diverse population because of many factors such as rural/urban and province to province migration. (Pp-12-14)
1.2 THE IMPORTANCE AND ROLE OF TEACHERS:
God gave one of the most precious gifts to the teacher, the gift of teaching, and alongside gave the teacher the authority to exercise that gift for the students benefit. Good teachers, like artists, have their own individual styles of performing. A teacher is like a candle, which lights others in consuming itself.
DuBois, (1993) Teachers’ through their talent and charisma, motivate their students’ intellectual growth, evoke their students’ emotions, and improve their students’ self-esteem. These talented teachers encourage the students to find meaning in their lives, a sense of purpose, a vision. The teacher possesses a unique form of altruism, an unselfish commitment to the welfare of the student. Teaching is an ongoing passion (P-8)
1.3 QUALITIES OF A GOOD TEACHER:
(Mohan, 1992) defines the qualities of a good teacher which are as under
- 1. Pleasant Personality:
Pleasant, kindly disposition, with a sense of humor, cheerful and inclined to keep the class cheerful. Keeping pleasant atmosphere in the classroom.
- 2. Encourages the Students:
Interested in pupils, eager to render help in difficulties, keen to encourage them in their enthusiasm and interest.
- 3. Explains the Lesson in Simple Form:
Ready to clarify things whenever approached, tolerant of pupil’s faults, willing to repeat and simplify parts of lessons not understood.
- 4. Keeping the Class Alert:
Alert, active and full of enthusiasm for the task and the company of pupils. Uses proper questioning to keep the class engaged and alert.
- 5. Having no bias:
Has no favorites and is not prejudiced against any. Deals with the students in the same manner and does not allow biases.
- 6. Maintains Discipline:
Maintain discipline, is firm but not harsh.
- 7. Teacher like Personality:
Is presentable in health, appearance and dress. (p262)
(Borich, 2000) In the last few decades, a revolution has occurred in the definition of good teaching. Defining good teachers by the community ideals proved unrealistic on the job and in the preparation of teachers. Similarly teacher’s psychological characteristics proved to be poorly related to what teachers actually did in the classroom. This directed researchers to study the impact that specific teacher behavior had no the specific cognitive and effective teaching behavior of their students. The term good teaching changed to effective teaching and the research focus shifted from exclusively studying to include their effect on students. These new ways of studying classroom behavior have made the student and teacher–student interaction in the classroom the focus of modern definitions of effective teaching.
These changes have influenced the profession of teaching so dramatically that their effects now are felt in the reform of teacher training curricula, in the competency testing of the teachers, in the education of the teacher trainers and the textbooks on teaching methods. Perhaps most responsible for this change are the new ways in which classroom researchers have come to study the nature of teaching. These new ways of studying classroom behavior have made the students and teacher – student interaction in the classroom the focus of modern definitions of effective teaching. (P-25)
1.4 TEACHER EDUCATION:
Arshad (2005) The objectives and characteristics of teaching clearly show that it is a highly technical career and demands skills on part of the teacher.
For effective teaching, a teacher should have clarity of thoughts and concepts as well as clarity in communication and knowledge of the basic principles of teaching. They include ability to create curiosity to learn, to exemplify, and to recapitulate at suitable intervals, to avoid boredom, to move from easy to difficult, to move from known to unknown and to teach according to the mental caliber of the students.
In school, the teacher has instructional counseling, administrative, supervisory and public relations responsibilities. The instructional responsibilities include:
- Determining the objectives
- Diagnosing learners
- Planning instructional activities
- Implementing programs
- Evaluating learning outcomes
�
Training and professional development includes imparting knowledge about content and skills in instruction, classroom management, assessment, and developing teacher knowledge and skill. It enables teachers to reflect critically on their practice and approach new knowledge and beliefs about content, pedagogy, and learners. It includes a direct instruction/lecture component, skill demonstration, modeling, workshop, presentations and other types of in-service activities. (P-3)
1.5 NEED OF TEACHER TRAINING:
Teaching is not something that anybody can do without any kind of training. For efficient teaching it is necessary that the educator must have education of the highest level accompanied by the training in techniques of teaching, principles of teaching, solution of educational problems, curriculum, organization of the school, etc. Different kinds of training are required for teaching at the different levels of education, and with this end in view, the kind and nature of training required for teaching at the primary, secondary and higher levels of education, have been determined. The teacher once trained for any level is not enough for that level forever in the changing patterns of time. The global changes insist the teacher to change himself with knowledge and teaching methodology. For this in-service training besides pre-service training with intervals is very necessary. The main aim of training is effective teaching.
Ranga 2005 has discussed the need of training in the teaching profession:
- Teacher training is necessary to develop the qualities of truthfulness, non-violence and dignity of labour
- To perceive the role as an agent of social change in the community
- To act as a leader of community and as a guide of the community
- Establish a liaison between the school and the community
- Develops the warm and positive attitude towards growing children
- Develops the competencies (P-20)
1.6 TEACHERS EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN
In Pakistan, teacher’s education program focuses solely on the development of teachers, knowledge enhancing, teaching strategies, techniques of tests and measurement, evaluation procedure, school administration and physical skills in teaching.
It is of importance, as well that the teacher training should not only be effective but it should also be compatible with the value system and culture of the society. In this regard the effectiveness of teacher training and its relevancy with social setup both are equally important.
According to Iqbal, (1996)
In the country like Pakistan, which owes its very existence to an ideology based on religious faith. It is even more important that the teacher education is planned and directed in accordance with the tenants of its faith. The teacher training should produce teachers who fear God comply with Shariah, possess sound personal character and are of modest personality for the student. (P-125)
1.7 OBJECTIVES OF TEACHER TRAINING IN PAKISTAN NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY (1998-2010)
The Teacher Training Program is undoubtedly a significant program aiming at the continuous development of the teachers in the desired direction. Following are the chief objectives of the Teacher Training Program:
- To provide incentive to the teachers to function more efficiently.
- To help the teachers to know their problems and to solve them by pooling their resources and wisdom.
- To help the teachers to employ more effective work and wisdom.
- To help teachers to get acquainted with modern techniques in education.
- To broaden the mental outlook of the teachers.
- To increase the professional efficiency of the teachers.
1.8 TEACHING SKILLS
Ranga (2005): The teacher should possess such skills and competencies so that his task may be easy, useful and effective. He should know the techniques and procedures which should be adopted in his profession. He should think about the active performance of his duties.
Many teachers personally believe that their job is to develop certain basic skills at a given level of achievement. The teacher of tomorrow should be the one who can design a teaching program which is conducive for the growth of the pupil’s mental health and develops in them a commitment to a set of values, that is creativity and enquiry skill.
Now a days, a teacher is in need of certain skills and competencies to develop and he is in need of new type of knowledge so that he may be in a position to make his task easy. The teachers of today are in need of such an education which is new, constructive, spontaneous and which is based on a new philosophy of life. (Pp-17-18)
Darling Hammond (2004) has presented the various teaching skills:
- General Academic Ability and Intelligence:
There is a positive correlation between teaching performance and measures of teacher’s intelligence or academic ability.
- Subject Matter Knowledge:
Subject matter knowledge is another skill and teaching variable.
- Knowledge of Teaching and Learning:
Knowledge of teaching and learning is also an important variable and an important teaching skill.
- Teaching Experience:
Teacher’s experience about the teaching and learning and learning difficulties are also the important variables.
- Teacher Behavior and Practice:
Teacher’s personality, traits and behavior like teacher’s “flexibility”, “creativity”, or “adaptability” also influence student achievement and learning. (P-6)
Hustle & McIntyre (1996) have identified some teaching skills which are as under:
- Planning and Preparation:
The teacher should plan the lesson according to the needs of the students and should prepare the lesson objectives before going to the class.
- Lesson Presentation:
The teacher should present the new lesson in an interesting way so that the objectives of the lesson can be achieved.

DISCUSSION:
The teacher constitutes the major school input. The teacher at different levels needs different types of training. Because good education represents good teacher and good teacher need not only sufficient knowledge of the subject matter to be imparted to students but techniques and methods should be taught both in theory and practice.
The study was descriptive in nature. For this purpose the research reviewed the related documents, educational policies and Teacher Training Programs. The main objective of the study was the analysis of skills acquired in the Teacher Training Programs and required in the actual classroom. A study was conducted to investigate the needs, teacher and teacher trainers.
Technique of multistage sampling was used. 3 Districts of Punjab were the sample of the study. In each district ten percent teachers were selected as a sample. For data collection the researcher prepared a questionnaire for the teacher.
Data collected through research tool was analyzed by using t-test. It was concluded that majority of the teachers prepared the lesson objectives before going to class. Majority of the teachers lacked the skills of identifying misbehaviors. The teachers were trained in the traditional methods and the teacher training programs are heavily loaded with theoretical information and the teachers are unable to use modern methodologies.
It was recommended that the teacher training institutions be equipped with the latest technologies to equip with latest techniques and teaching methodologies, and the teachers be provided such training in the area of classroom management and evaluation.
