In-Service Training at Federal Government Educational Institutions (Cantts/ Garrisons): Investigating Trainees’ Perspectives about Trainers’ Practices
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the “trainees’ perspectives about the teacher trainers’ practices at Federal Government Educational Institutions (Cantts/ Garrisons)”. The survey was conducted for this study. The sample consisted of 94 Elementary School Teachers from 23 schools of FGEI’s (C/G) Lahore region. The instrument for data collection was developed by the researcher which was consisted of four point Likert rating scale with 36 items. The results showed that the “trainees’ reaction” was not satisfactory as most of the trainers were not well trained. So, the trainers conducted training sessions autocratically and did not carry out the variety of activities. However, due to the trainees’ socialization with each other during training sessions, they learnt different activities, strategies, techniques and tactics to cope with the problems being faced during teaching. Their interaction with each other during the training session not only improved their teaching skills but also students’ learning out comes. Whereas, there was no significant difference found between trainees’ perceptions on the basis of gender and experience. So, the Directorate of FGEI’s (C/G) may hire the subject specialist trainers along with the provision of training related material, strict directions to follow the agenda and execution of activities in order to make the training sessions fruitful.
