Analysis of past developments in teacher education in Pakistan has
shown that substantial progress has been made in this field. It
has, however, been pointed out that education of science teachers
still needs much improvement. At the present, there is an emergent
need to meet the shortage of qualified science teachers and at the
same time to bring qualitative improvements in the courses offered
in teacher education institutions. First, we recommend that the
1-year duration of teacher preparation is grossly inadequate for
all teaching courses, and should be lengthened, and the
qualifications for entrance be increased. We believe that teaching
must be made a graduate profession. For example, the basic
qualification of primary school teachers for admission to teacher
education institution should be increased. We recommend that PTC
should be made a 12 + 2 year program. Similarly, CT, 12 + 3; B. Ed.
, 14 + 2; B. S. Ed. , 12 + 4; M. A. Ed. , 14 + 3; and M. Ed. one
year after B. Ed. or B. S. Ed. Secondly, we think the quality of
instruction in teacher preparation programs should be improved.
Most teachers in the teacher preparation institutions use the
lecture method most of the time. Prospective teachers behave like
passive listeners to their teachers. They do not participate in the
teaching/ learning process. Some instructors even dictate their
notes to the preservice teachers. When the teachers join schools,
they behave the same way.
