Abstract

In Sindh, there is a different criterion for appointing teachers at public sector higher secondary schools and colleges (grade 11 & 12) regarding the professional prerequisites. Normally, the higher secondary school teachers known as ‘subject specialists’ require masters in both relevant subject and professional degree i.e. M. Ed. for appointment; whereas, the college lecturers require only masters in relevant subject for appointment. The present phenomenological study aimed to find out similarities and differences between professional teaching skills and teachers’ overall attitudes at both levels from learners’ perspective in District Hyderabad (Sindh). It involved purposive sampling of 30 students (15 for each category) with almost equal number of boys and girls. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to understand the phenomenon as perceived by the respondents. They were analyzed descriptively using appropriate themes. The findings from the respondents revealed that both the subject specialists with masters in professional degrees and college lecturers with no such professional degree equally lacked in their professional teaching skills and content knowledge at the two levels; they were found less competitive even with centuries’ old lecture method.
