Curriculum Provisions for Classroom Instruction and Students' Self-Efficacy at Secondary Level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Abstract

    Classroom instruction, as a key feature of formal education, primarily provided in the National Curriculum that aimed to materialize the curricular targets. This study was conducted with the objective to analyze the provisions for classroom instruction in the National Curriculum at secondary level that affects self-efficacy of the students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a North-western province of Pakistan. The study was qualitative by design and conducted by employing Foucauldian discourse analysis of the core curriculum of Urdu, Mathematics, and Islamiyat for the sources of self-efficacy. The study found that the provisions, were either ignored or made idealistic without concrete provision in the classroom, proved to be pepped talk and were devoid of practical utility in the classroom for the purpose and, hence, were adversely affecting the efficacy belief of the students.
