Teachers' Time: Teaching Practices along with Non-academic Additional Duties of Elementary School Teachers
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to find out the impact of additional duties on the teaching practices of elementary school teachers. Teachers in Pakistan often remain engaged in non-academic activities, thereby badly impacting the studies at the schools. The objectives of the study were to identify the issues related to additional duties along with academic practices of elementary school teachers and also ascertain the demanding expectations of government school teachers by society. It was found that majority of the teachers were of the opinion that engaging teachers to perform non-teaching activities negatively affect their primary duty of teaching and learning. It was recommended that teachers should concentrate on teaching only and should not be assigned any non-academic work
