The Status Of Female Education In Rural Balochistan, Samina Naz
Book Chapters / Conference Papers
Balochistan is the largest province in Pakistan, occupying almost 43% of the country’s land area and is approximately the size of France.

Learning To Teach Science Using A New Strategy: A Case Study Of A Primary Science Teacher, Nelofer Halai
Learning To Teach Science Using A New Strategy: A Case Study Of A Primary Science Teacher, Nelofer Halai
Book Chapters / Conference Papers
Constructivism has emerged as the dominant learning model in science educational reform. Despite this, there is a paucity of research studies on instructional strategies that might help the construction of knowledge that is in consonance with the established body of science. The use of activities based on discrepant events in teaching science at the primary level is seen as one way of encouraging this construction.

The four-member team of science teacher educators, teaching on an eight-week in-service programme, chose to look at …

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi
There is a good deal of consensus in the literature about the key role of leadership – especially that of the headteacher – in facilitating school improvement.

This article explores the issue of headship in the context of schools in a specific developing country context, that of Pakistan. Drawing on 2 studies of the experience of headteachers in Karachi, the article identifies and explores the key variables that may contribute to a sense of personal efficacy for these heads, namely the expectations generated by the …
