Perceptions of Science Teachers regarding Capacity Building Teachers Training Programme in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Abstract

    This research aimed to evaluate Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Capacity Building Teachers Training Program for science educators. The study focused on the program's effectiveness in meeting the demands of the science curriculum, the applicability of acquired skills and knowledge, and participants' opinions on the course materials and instructional strategies. A descriptive research design was used, and data were collected from 50 science instructors who participated in a 2-week capacity development workshop in May 2012. The study utilized a self-made questionnaire, and the chi-square statistical method was used to analyze the responses. The study found that the course participants were satisfied with the course's standards, teaching methods, and ability to raise teachers' mindfulness and remove material-related teaching challenges. The study recommended that a capacity-building science teachers training program should be held regularly with improved training materials and more information on teachers in the training program.
