Quality of Teaching and Learning Environment in Weekend and Regular Programs Settings: A Comparative Study of a Public Sector University
Abstract
The quality of teaching and learning environment plays a significant role in enhancing students’ learning experiences, both in weekend programs settings and regular programs settings of the universities. The personal experiences of the researchers, however, observed some differences in the quality of teaching and learning environment in weekend programs settings and regular programs settings of the universities in public sector universities of Pakistan. This research study used descriptive survey research designs to address questions. This study was delimited to a public sector university of a Pakistan. All students of the selected university served as a population and of these 462 were selected as a sample using the multistage cluster sampling technique. Of these 462 students, 232 were studying in weekend program settings and 230 in regular program settings. For data collection, a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, comprising 32 statements, was developed and administered. For analysis of data, mean values, standard deviations, and independent sample t-test were computed. The results of this research found that the quality of teaching and learning environment in regular programs settings is statistically significant better than that of weekend programs settings, as perceived by students.
