Exploring Teachers’ Perceptions and Practices Regarding Instructional Planning: A Multiple Case Study
Abstract
This study attempted to explore teachers’ perception and practices about Instructional planning at secondary school level. The study employed multiple case study design to explore and compare the different strategies and approaches between the cases that were being employed for instructional planning. This study explores the phenomenon by using purposive sampling technique i.e. sample of two cases (one each from Lahore and Narowal district) of Punjab; eight male teachers from each sampled school with two teachers from each of the four compulsory subjects (English, Urdu, Islamiat, and Pakistan Studies). The qualitative data collection sources included semi-structured interview guide for school teachers, classroom observation protocol for teachers, and documents review related to instructional planning. The instruments were validated and improved through experts’ opinion and pilot testing. Furthermore, Triangulation approach was used to cross verify the data. The results revealed that most of the teachers in the two cases were in favour of implementing instructional planning for quality teaching; but only a few of them were executing it in their classroom teaching. Additionally, most of the teachers were not aware of need based instructional strategies; students’ cramming was being emphasized during teaching
