ABSTRACT
During the recent years, rapid advancement in the field of science and technology has
demanded changes in the existing curricula for degree programs currently offered by
various universities of the country. The trends in education have changed rapidly over
the few years on the international scene. The government of Pakistan has shown a keen
interest in making rigorous changes in degree programs to remove all discrepancies
with the international standard. BS (Bachelor of Studies) 4-Year was therefore
established in 2002 in accordance with the recommendations of the higher education
commission and the national curriculum revision committee. BS 4-Year program was
therefore, established in 2002 in accordance with the recommendations of the Higher
education commission and the national curriculum revision committee. BS 4-Year is an
absolutely new program, initiated with the aim of preparing the students of Pakistan to
compete with other students at international level. Most of the universities in Pakistan
are offering BS 4- Year Program in the disciplines of basic sciences, social sciences and
languages. Still far as no study has been done to evaluate BS 4-Year Program, the
researcher selected this particular topic. The present study was delimited to BS 4-Year
Program in the subject of Education. The main objective of the study was to develop
an evaluation model for BS 4-Year Program in the Subject of Education. The sample
of the study comprised four (4) public universities of the Punjab, where the BS
Education program was functional at the time of commencement of the present research
work. The majority of permanent university teachers fifty three (53) (male & female)
from the Department of Education and three hundred and twenty-nine (329) students
(male & female) studying in different semesters of BS 4-Year program in Education
from the sample universities were taken as the sample. The Students’ sample was
selected by using Stratified random sampling technique. As research tool,
questionnaires for teachers and students were prepared separately and administered to
the respective samples and analyzed. Moreover, an opinionnaire for teachers about
instruction, teaching practice and assessment components was also designed,
administered and analyzed. The collected data were analyzed by using percentages,
means, z–test, product-moment correlation and factor-matrix. The researcher also
carried out document analysis for the review of curriculum content. As far as the
conclusions of the study were concerned, it was found that on maximum components
of the rating scale (Questionnaire), teachers and students showed their satisfaction.
However, on a few points regarding dissatisfaction were also observed. So, after
evaluating the components of BS Education 4-Year Program, an evaluation model for
BS 4 Year program in education was designed by keeping in view Stufflebeam CIPP
evaluation model.

CHAPTER NO. 1
INTRODUCTION
Education has an immense impact on the human society. The importance of education
cannot be neglected by any nation (Gibbons, l998, p.68). Memone (2007, p.83)
indicated that Education is important due to two reasons: Firstly, it helps in the training
of human mind; tells persons how to think and how to make decisions. Secondly, person
can receive essential information about the external world. Without Education, man is
in a dark room and with Education he finds a bright future for himself. In the same
reference, Shakya (2013) admitted that Education is the most important factor for the
development of human civilization. Education provides the nation man powers,
promotes national unity and uplifts public awareness. A country needs different kinds
of man powers such as doctors, engineers, teachers, administrative officials,
economists, judges and other technical hands. Education provides the nation with these
educated hands. Thus, Education system plays a very important role in every nation‟s
success. So, it is important for nation to provide a good education for their peoples
(Ahmad, 2011, p. 6).
The characteristic of a good education is to encourage each and every student to think
critically and develop the ability to ask thought provoking questions.
Its also provide the tools, resources and conducive environment to acquire knowledge
& skills (Wahl and Campbell, 1998, p.12). In the opinion of Mohanthy (2000, pp. 60),
Education is a basic component of every country. Social, scientific, economical and
technological improvement of a country is possible through quality of education. Only
the quality of education ensures human resource development of a county. In the same
context, Khalid (2005, p.82) described that human resource development is the proper
24
development of the human‟s in all aspects of their life. All these aspects are best
illustrated in the figure 1.1 as indicated by (Aggarwal, 2006, p.1).
Figure 1.1: Aspects of Human Resource Development
The educational system of Pakistan is the least developed (Quddus, 1990,
p.56). The Education system in Pakistan is generally divided into six levels
:Preschool(for the age 3 to 5 years);Primary (levels one to five); Middle (levels six to
eight); High (levels nine and ten); Intermediate (levels eleven and twelve leading to a
Higher secondary school certificate) and University programs leading to undergraduate
and advanced degrees (Rao & Dutt, 2004, p. 218).
During the recent years, rapid advancement in the field of science and
technology has demanded changes in the existing curricula for degree programs
currently offered by various universities of the country. The trends in education have
changed rapidly over the few years on the international scene (Haider, 2008, p.82). The
Government of Pakistan has shown a keen interest in making rigorous changes in degree
programs to remove all discrepancies in the international standard. Bachelor of Studies

(BS) 4-Year program was therefore initiated in Pakistan in 2002 with the
recommendations of the Higher education commission & the National curriculum
revision committee. This is an absolutely new program, introduced with the aim of
preparing the students of this region to compete with students at international level and
to develop the linkage between the local & foreign institutes. This program has been
playing enviable role to enable the students to get linguistic, literary, communicative,
critical, cultural and humanistic skills (Bahauddin Zakariya university, 2009, pp.96-98).
Being the part of teacher education, the researcher observed the effectiveness of BS
Education program. keeping in view the importance of BS 4-Year Program and finding
that no compact and comprehensive research study has yet been done for the evaluation
of BS 4-Year Program in Education, the
researcher selected this particular topic for the present study.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The present study was designed to develop an Evaluation Model for BS 4-
Year Program in the subject of Education at university level.
1.2(A) OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the study were as under:
1. To examine the effectiveness of BS program as perceived by Students in the subject
of „Education‟ with reference to its components Context, Physical facilities,
Curriculum content, Instruction, Teaching practice & Assessment.
2. To determine the significance of mean difference between performances of
different University students.
3. To find out the students perception about the most accepted component of the
BS Education program.
26
4. To assess the response of male and female teachers to the scale statements.
5. To evaluate the opinion of practicing teacher regarding Instruction, Teaching
practice and Assessment component of the BS Education program.
6. To suggest recommendations for the improvement of the components (listed in
objective 1).
7. To develop an evaluation model for BS 4 Year program in the subject of
Education.
1.2 (b) RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The following Research questions were prepared for the present study:-
1. Are students of Education, satisfied with the effectiveness of BS 4-Year
program in Education?
2. Do students of different Universities differ on the basis of mean-scores?
3. Are students responding to the components of BS Program, differently?
4. Are working teachers satisfied with the BS Program in Education at
University Level?
5. Is there any Gender – difference with reference to mean – performance
of teachers on scale?
6. Are components of BS Program related to one – another positively?
7. Do teachers react differently responding to the elements of opinionnaire
pertaining to the effectiveness of the BS program?
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The significance of the study is extremely important. Significance of the study in
thesis is the part where the researcher tells how his/her study would be beneficial to
27
specific people or part of the society and how they could use it (Gupta & Gupta, 2013,
p.87).
The study may develop awareness regarding the importance of BS Education program
among administrators, teachers and students. The teachers with the help of
administrator may be able to revise the curriculum content of the said program in the
light of the recommendations of the study.
The study may facilitate the teachers and administrators to get the true picture of the
physical facilities available to run BS Education Program. This study may assist the
teachers to plan their instruction more effectively.
After studying this research work, the teachers may be able to arrange teaching
practice according to educational needs of students. The study may be valuable for the
teachers associated with the assessment of students of BS Education program at
university level.
The study may be useful for the policy makers and administrators to improve the BS 4-
Year program in the subject of Education.
1.4 DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The present study was delimited to:
1. BS 4-Year Program in the subject of Education.
2. Evaluation of the components of the BS 4-Year Program: Context, Curriculum
Content, Physical facilities, Instruction, Teaching practice and Assessment.
3. Four (4) Public universities of the Punjab offering BS 4-Year Program in
Education at the time of commencement of the research work.
4. Faculty members (Regular) (male and female) of the Department of
28
Education in sample universities.
5. University students (male and female) who have been studying in BS 4-Year
program in Education years (2010, 2011, 2012).
1.5 RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
Semester system has been introduced to run BS 4_ Year program. This is a
multidisciplinary program, offering a unique blend of Compulsory, General,
Foundation and Optional courses. Most of the universities in Pakistan are offering BS
programs in the Basic sciences, Social sciences and Languages disciplines. This
program is committed to quality education and ensures the best possible utilization of
youth‟s talent that is being prevalent in the outdated B.A. 2-Year program. The degree
will be at par with the Bachelor‟s degree offered by prestigious universities around the
world and shall meet international standards and credit transfer requirement. The
students will become competitive in coping with challenges of the modern world. This
program consists of modern courses; this will provide an edge to universities over other
institutions in the country and comparatively with modest dues and the students will be
able to have better opportunities to learn. So keeping in view all the aspect related to
BS 4-Years program, the researcher selected this particular topic for the research.
1.6 PROCEDURE OF THE STUDY
Procedure of the study was as under:
1.6.1 Population
Two groups –Teachers and Students were included in the study. A brief detail is
given below:
• Target population
29
The target population of the study were all university teachers and students
engaged in the BS Education Program at all public universities of the Punjab.
Target population means the actual population which the researcher would like
to generalize the results (Aggarwal, 2015, p.67).
• Accessible population
The Students studying in the years 2010,2011,2012 and the teachers involved in
teaching to BS Education program from four universities ( Bahauddin
Zakariya University, Multan, University of Sargodha, Government College
University, Faisalabad and Islamia University, Bahawalpur of the Punjab were
taken as accessible population: the population to which the researcher was able
to generalize study results (Aggarwal, 2015, p.68).
The detail is given in ch#03.
1.6.2 Sample
The majority of the regular university teachers (53) from the Department of
Education associated with BS Education program were included in the sample. 329
students were selected as a sample by applying stratified random sampling technique.
The detail is described in ch#03 as well.
1.6.3 Preparation of the Research Tools
a. Questionnaire for Teachers
The questionnaire is a data-gathering instrument through which respondents answer
questions or respond to statements in writing. It consists of series of questions or
statements that are submitted to those from which information is to be collected.
30
The written response in the language of respondents increases the validity of responses
(Iqbal, P. 36, 38). Keeping in view the importance of the questionnaire, the researcher
prepared five point Likert type scale for the teachers, covering the said components of
BS 4-Year Education Program at university level. This scale comprised 105 statements
put under different components.
b. Questionnaire for Students
Students play very important role in any educational program. So, a
questionnaire was also developed for the students to get information about the
components of the BS program in Education. It was a five point Likert scale, comprising
40 statements on different components.
c. Opinionnaire for the Teachers
A close-ended opinionnaire, comprising 12 questions about instruction,
teaching practice and assessment component was prepared for the teachers to get
information about their real practice in the educational environment.
1.6.4 Pilot-Testing of the Tools
For the tools validation, the researcher went through the tryout activities. For pilot
testing, fifty (50) questionnaires for teachers and one hundred and twenty (120)
questionnaires for students of B.Z. University were distributed. Initially, the instrument
for teachers, comprised 145 statement and the scale for students, had 90 statements. As
a result of pilot study, the number of statement in teacher scale was reduced to 130
while in case of students scale, the number of suitable statements, was found to be 80.
1.6.5 Finalization of the Tools
31
After pilot testing of the tools, the researcher finalized the tools by consulting various
experts. Experts evaluated the content of the research tools on the following bases:
• Conforming face validity
• Clear & accurate verbatim of scale statements
• Technical quality of statements
• Relevance with the study objectives
1.6.6 Administration of Tools
The researcher, herself easily went and collected data from BZU, Multan but in case
of other institutes, the researcher took help from the staff of the sample universities.
1.6.7 Collection & Analysis of Data
Data was collected, tabulated and analyzed by using suitable statistical methods. A
comprehensive detail is given in chapter No. 4.

CHAPTER NO. 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION TO EVALUATION
Evaluation is a process of collecting information for judging the quality/ worth
of a performance, product, process or activity (Shadish, et.al, 1995, p. 10). While
discussing the same, Alkin (2004, p.15) defined evaluation as a process of making
judgment about students performance and behavior. Evaluation is designed to
determine the value or worth of a program, course towards making decisions about
adopting, rejecting and revising the innovation.
In the same regard, Mertens & Wilson (2012, p. 3) defined that evaluation is a
purposeful activity of collecting and analyzing information in order to determine the
effectiveness and impact of programs by defining areas needing change and
improvement. The conception of evaluation is best illustrated in Figure 2.1:

Figure 2.1: The Concept of Evaluation
In the same connection, Rossi &freeman (1993, p. 18) defined that evaluation is
the process of getting information to provide feedback about some object. Ali (2001,
p.33) described that evaluation process is done for determining standards for judging
quality, deciding whether these standards are relative or absolute, collecting relevant
information and applying the standards to determine value or quality.
In the view of Smith (2001, p.81) evaluation is the process of quantitative and
qualitative description of behaviors, things, events, parameters or variables. It also
includes value judgment of things or events being described. In the same context, Rist
(2011, p.27) summarized evaluation as a comprehensive, vast concept that judges the
worth or value of a program. It also involves whole process of education.
2.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROCESS OF EVALUATION
Khawaja (2001, p. 56-66) stated that the process of evaluation has following
characteristics:
• It determines changes occurring in education in light of the objectives of the
country‟s overall development.
35
• It establishes mechanisms for participation of different authorities in the education
system to reinforce the evaluation process.
• It uses specific studies to improve evaluation results.
• It gives reliable, appropriate and adequate information: reliable being based on
objective criteria; appropriate for decisions to be made at the right time; adequate
in respect of the kind and quantity of information required.
2.3 FUNCTIONS OF EVALUATION
According to Pathak (2012, p. 17), Evaluation is mainly used for:
• identifying the value exhibited in programs policy or procedure
• determining the objectives, goals and purposes of a program
• finding the criteria for measuring success
• Collecting, analyzing and interpreting the information
• defining the extent of success & failure
• showing the relationship (impact of programs on certain variables)
• knowing unplanned undesirable effects
• suggesting the alteration, replacement, discontinuance of the program or of unique
features of the program
• Establishing a continuing review of program results
• Evaluating the educational value and utility of the program
In the same context, Royse, et.al. (2006, p. 17) enlisted the following functions of
evaluation:
• Its help in providing the basis for any future educational reforms & policies.
• Its help the concerned authorities in identifying the strengths & weaknesses of the
curriculum, teaching materials, teaching techniques and other school
36
activities.
• Its provide a true picture of each pupils progress.
• The results of evaluation are especially useful in guidance & counseling.
• Its provide a comprehensive information about the effectiveness of teaching
and other classroom activities.
2.4 TYPES OF EVALUATION
Liviton (2003, p. 33-35) mentioned the five major types of evaluation and the appropriate
conditions for their uses as shown in the table 2.1:
Table 2.1 Types of Evaluation & its Uses

37
In the same reference, Kumar (2005, p. 279-282) indicated that evaluation can also
be classified on the basis of following perspectives:
1. Types of Evaluation from the Perspective of Focus of the Evaluation
On the basis of these perspectives, there are four types of evaluation.
i. Program / Intervention Planning Evaluation.
This type of evaluation is used to determine the need for a program.
Following questions can be asked during such type of evaluation.
• Is there a need for the proposed program?
• If yes, what is its extent?
• How should the success or failure of the program be assessed?
ii. Process Evaluation
It is also known as monitoring evaluation. This is used to determine the
efficiency of the service delivery.
Following questions can be answered while process evaluation:
• How satisfied are stakeholders with the way the service is being delivered?
• How can service delivery be improved?
• What are the issues with the way the service is being delivered?
iii. Outcome Evaluation
It is also known as impact evaluation. This is used to know the effectiveness
of a program. Following questions may be answered during outcome
evaluation:
• What are the outputs of the program?
• How has the program affected stakeholders?
38
• To what extent has the program achieved the objectives set out at the planning
stage?
iv. Cost – Benefit Evaluation
It is used to determine the cost of delivering the service. During cost- benefit
evaluation, followings questions may be asked:
• What is the cost of delivering the service?
• Do the results justify the cost?
• Do benefits justify the cost?
2. Types of Evaluation form a Philosophical Perspective
On the basis of the perspectives, there are four types of evaluation.
i. Goal Oriented Evaluation
It is also known as objective oriented evaluation. This approach focuses on the
evaluation of out comes to determine the achievement of objectives.
ii. Consumer Oriented Evaluation
It is also known as client centered evaluation. According to this Philosophy,
consumers are the best judges of a program. Qualitative and quantitative
methods are used to find out how client feel about various aspects of a
program.
iii. Improvement Oriented Evaluation.
The philosophy of this evaluation is that evaluation is mainly done for
improvement purposes.
iv. Holistic Evaluation
It is also known as illuminative evaluation. Holistic evaluation tries to assess
the performance of a program in its totality.
39
2.5 PROGRAM EVALUATION
Program evaluation is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting
efficiency, effectiveness and information to determine accountability of a department,
program or agency. In the view of Scriven (1991, p. 59), program evaluation is a
systematic process of determining the success of a specific program. Discussing the
same, Boyle & Crosby (1997, p. 81) stated that program evaluation is the systematic
assessment of the processes and outcomes of a program with the aim of furthering its
development & improvement.
In the same context, Fischler (2014, p. 2) defined program evaluation as an
ongoing monitoring of program or one time studies of program, processes, outcomes
and or program impact.
(www.fischlerschool.nova.edu_resourcess_uploads_35_files_arc_Doc_progeval.pdf)
Fitzpatrich, et.al (2004, pp. 5-6) summarized that program evaluation is a process of
arriving at a definite, objective and valid conclusion regarding specified objectives and
questions related to a program‟s overall effectiveness.
2.6 USES OF PROGRAM EVALUATION
Mika (1996, pp. 10-11) mentioned that program evaluation is mainly used for:
demonstrating program effectiveness to funders.
improving the implementation and effectiveness of programs.
better management of limited resources.
documenting program accomplishments.
justifying current program functioning.
supporting the need for increased levels of funding.
40
satisfying ethical responsibility to stakeholders to demonstrate positive and
negative effects of program participation.
documenting program development and activities to help ensure
successful replication.
In the same regard, Sanders & Sullins (2006, p. 89) enlisted the uses of program
evaluation as:
using the information to improve program.
demonstrating to stakeholders that resources are being well spent and that
the program is effective.
comparing actual outcomes with intended outcomes.
suggesting realistic intended outcomes.
focusing attention on issues important to program.
promoting program.
retaining or increasing funding.
enhancing the image of the program.
providing direction for program staff.
identifying strengths & weaknesses in program implementation.
2.7 PROGRAM EVALUATION PROCESS
All program evaluations consisted on a process of planning, collecting data and
reporting results effective. Program evaluation is done in steps. These steps are
described by (Royse, et.al, 2006, pp. 90-93) as:
41
Step 1: Description of the Program Context
This is the first step in planning of program evaluation. In this step, the program
evaluator describes the program context, its purposes, expected effects and available
resources etc.
Step 2: Identification of Stakeholders and their Needs
In this step, the program evaluators identify stakeholders and their needs.
Step 3: Specifying the Purposes of Evaluation
This is an important step. In this step, the program evaluator determines the
purposes of evaluation.
Step 4: Designing of an Evaluation Plan
An evaluation plan highlights how to implement the evaluation, what
information is to be collected, the research method (s) to be used and a time schedule for
accomplishing tasks.
Step 5: Collection of Data
Data is collected by keeping in view indicators, data sources and methods to use
and the quality and quantity of the information. There are different methods to collect
information. Leviton (2003, p. 89) listed following methods:
Questionnaires
Surveys
Checklists
Interviews
42
Documentation review
Observation
Focus groups
Case studies etc.
Step 6: Analysis of the Data
Data is analyzed by keeping in view various techniques.
Step 7: Making Conclusion & Recommendations
After analyzing the data, conclusions are being made.
Step 8: Reporting Result
In this step, the program evaluator reports the results to the concerned stakeholders.
All these steps are best illustrated in figure 2.2:
Steps
In the same context, Rossi & Freeman (1993, pp. 67-69) summarized the program
evaluation process as shown in figure 2.3:

2.8 DESIGNING A PROGRAM EVALUATION
1 . Specify the Purpose
2 . E xplaining the issue
3 . Describing the Model
4 . Identifying the Methods
44
According to Powell, Steele, Douglah (1996, p. 2), there is no specific pattern
for conducting a good program evaluation. In view of Posavac & Carey (2007, p. 29)
program evaluation is a process of concentrating on questions and topics of concern,
collecting relevant information and then analyzing and interpreting the information for
a specific purpose. Priest (2001, P. 34) suggested following key questions should be
considered before designing a program evaluation:
1. What is the program? In what context does it exist?
2. What components of the program will be evaluated while judging program
performance?
3. What type or level of performing should be considered for the program to be
considered successful?
4. What evidence will be used to indicate how the program has performed?
5. What resources will be available to collect the information?
2.9 PROGRAM EVALUATION STANDARDS
These standards are very practical and will provide a solid foundation for
program evaluation. These standards are indicated by Joint committee on standards for
educational evaluation (1994) as:
• Relevance
A good evaluation should be in consistent with the objectives.
• Comprehensiveness
An evaluation should be precise and comprehensive in its scope.
• Diagnostic value
An evaluation should diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of the program.
45
• Valid
An evaluation should serve the purpose for which it is designed.
• Continuity
An evaluation should be done on continuous basis. It should provide continuingly
feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the program.
• Objectivity
An evaluation results should be judged objectively.
• Efficiency
An evaluation should be low in cost built maximum in its output.
• Feasible
An evaluation should be feasible.
• Accurate
An evaluation should be accurate.
Useful
An evaluation should be useful.
2.10: OVERCOMING THE EVALUATION CONSTRAINTS
Rogers and Badhem (1992, p.8) suggested that evaluation constraints can be
overcome in following ways:
• Evaluation should be limited to a few specific focuses
• While evaluating, only essential information be collected
• Evaluation should be short
• Evaluation should be simple
46
• Evaluation should be worthwhile and credible for staff
2.11 DEFINITION OF MODEL
Kuhne (2005) defined the term „Model‟ as: a model is information
On something (context, meaning)
Created by someone (sender)
For somebody (receiver)
For some purpose (usage, context).
In the views of Wilson (1999, p.2), a model is a description of something. It provides
a framework for thinking about a problem.
According to Merriam Webster online dictionary (2008), a model is an example
for imitation, very good or excellent, or serving as or capable of serving as a pattern.
(www.merriam_webster.com/distionary/model)
It is important to emphasize that a model is not the real world but merely a
human construct to help in better understanding of real world systems. In general, all
models have information, input, an information process and an output of expected
results.
(serc.carleton.edu/introge/models/whatIsAModel.html)
2.12 Characteristics of Model
Gordon & Oliva (2012) listed the following characteristics of models:
Serves as guideline to action, can be found for almost every form of
educational activity.
Purpose a solution to a piece of a problem.
47
Attempt to solve a specific program.
Create or replicate a pattern on a grounder scale
2.13 Evaluation Models:
The following Models are frequently stated in the evaluation literature:
• Behavioral Objective Model
This model is used to determine the degree to which the objectives of a program,
product or process have been achieved.
• The Four Level Model
This model is used to assess training and development programs. This model has
four levels of training reactions learning, behavior and results.
• Responsive Evaluation Model
This model demands evaluators to be responsive to the information‟s needed by
stakeholders.
• Goal- Free Model
This model concentrates on the actual outcomes instead of intended outcomes of
a program.
• Adversary / Judicial Model
This model analyses the arguments for and against the program.
• Consumer- Oriented Model
In this model, consumers chooses among competing programs or products.
• Expertise/ Accreditation Model
By using this model, exert gives opinion to determine the quality of programs.
48
• Utilization- Focused Evaluation
This model analyzes the type of information needed by stakeholders.
• Participatory /Collaborative Evaluation
The role of collaborative forms of evaluation is to involve stakeholders in the
evaluation process.
• Empowerment Evaluation
The focus of this evaluation is to use evaluation concepts, techniques and findings
for the purpose of improvement and self-determination.
• Organizational Learning
This model views evaluation as ongoing process and integrated into all work
practices.
• Theory Driven Evaluation
This model concentrates on theoretical instead of methodological issues.
• Success-case Method
It defines outcomes and success cases.
(http://www.sagepub.com/Upm-data/5068_preskill_chapter-5.pdf)
In the same context, Payne (1994) also described the four types of models.
These models are:
1. Management Models
These models provide information to management about programs, products
etc. The most popular management models are:
• Michael Patton‟s utilization focused evaluation
• CIPP Model
2. Judicial / Adversary – Oriented Models
These models are based on the judicial metaphor.
49
3. Anthropological Models
These models uses qualitative approaches for program evaluation. The popular
anthropological models are:
• Robert Stake‟s model
• Goal – free model
• Responsive evaluation
4. Consumer Models
These models are based on Michael Scriven approach which emphasizes
consumer product metaphor,
Owen & Rogers (1999, p. 45) in the same connection, listed the following
Evaluation models:
• Behavioral objectives model
• Goal – Free model
• Art criticism model
• Transaction model
• System analysis model
These models throw light on the followings aspects of evaluation:
1. What should be evaluated?
2. Who should be evaluated?
3. Who ought to receive the results of Evaluations?
4. What actions should be taken as consequences of Evaluations?
In the same regard, Rahman (2004, p-11) proposed following models of
evaluation.
• Tyler‟s evaluation model
50
• Stufflebeams CIPP Model
• Hammond‟s evaluation model
• Scriven‟s goal- free evaluation model
• Parlett and Hamilton model
• Kirk Patrick‟s evaluation model
2.14 EVALUATION MODELS BEST SUITED FOR
PARTICULAR EVALUATION PURPOSES
In the view of Owen & Rogers (1999, p. 67), there are no hard and fast rules
about using of the model for a given purpose. He also provides additional guidance on
selecting a model from among the most widely used ones for six common program
evaluation purposes as given in the table 2.2:

2.15 THE CIPP MODEL OF EVALUATION
The CIPP model is a social systems model applied to program evaluation.
CIPP stands for:
C Context evaluation
I Input evaluation
P Process evaluation
P Product evaluation
These components are or can be viewed as separate forms of evaluation, but
they can also be viewed as steps or stages in a comprehensive evaluation. The detail of
these steps is given below:
1 Context evaluation
2 Input evaluation
3 Process evaluation
4 Product evaluation
1. Context Evaluation.
Context Evaluation is the delineation and specification of the projects
environment, its unmet needs, the population and sample of individuals to be served,
and the project objectives.
2. Input Evaluation
Input evaluation identifies and assesses systems capabilities (personnel, budget,
space, etc.); determine methods that meet objectives and needs; studies relation at cost
and potential benefits of each proposed method.
52
3. Process Evaluation.
Monitors projects operations; identifies or predicts defects in the procedural design
or in its simple mentation; maintain records of procedural events and
activities.
4. Product Evaluation.
Relates outcome measures to objectives, to input data and to process evaluation;
determines effectiveness. (Stufflebeam & shinkfield, 2007, pp.86-87).

2.19 INSTRUCTION
63
Instruction is an important element in the process of education. Its main purpose is to
impart knowledge and motivates the pupils to learn through their own activates (Rao,
2004, p.135). In the process of instruction, there are three focal point
i.e. teacher, student and content as indicated by (Ghaffar, 2009, p.7) shown in figure
2.5:
Figure 2.5: Focal Points of Instruction
In view of Biggs (2003, pp.74-76), teacher plays a vital role in the process of
instruction. The teacher is responsible to help the students in gaining knowledge,
encouraging character and morality, developing suitable values helpful to the society,
solving their educational problems, guiding and supervising their education activates,
marketing then able civilization of the nation, promoting leadership qualities and
arousing interest in teaching professions (Sindhu, 2012, p.285).
2.20 TEACHER’S ROLE
The teachers can perform their responsibilities if they have knowledge of their
roles. Tennant (2010, pp.13-15) described that teachers play interpersonal and
64
pedagogical roles. Inter personal roles are related to social, emotional and spiritual
growth of students. They are played as counselor and as member of school community.
Pedagogical roles are related to the intellectual development of the students. They are
played as curriculum developer, instructor and researcher.
2.21 QUALITIES OF A GOOD TEACHER
In order to perform the responsibilities and roles effectively, the teacher must have
certain personal, physical, moral, intellectual, emotional and social qualities.
These qualities are enlisted by Sue (2003, p.209) as shown in the table 2.3:

2.22 PRINCIPLES OF GOOD INSTRUCTION
Good instruction demands that the teacher should know the child‟s mind. To be
successful in studying child mind, the teacher should know and apply principles of
instruction. These principles are indicated by Reece & Walker (2003, pp.59-61) as:
66
1. The Principle of Aim
According to this principle, aim of teaching should be set first. Determination
of aim helps the teacher in planning, executing and evaluating every act of the teaching
learning process.
2. The Principle of Child Centeredness
This principle suggests that instruction should be designed according to the
aptitude, interest and abilities of the students. Its help in effective learning.
3. The Principle of Linking with Actual Life
This principle demands that knowledge learnt through instruction must be
essentially linked with the life of the children and must be correlated with the other
subjects through the children are studying.
4. The Principle of Active Involvement of Student
This is the most important principle of instruction. This principle states that pupils
should be involved in all the steps of teaching learning process.
5. The Principle of Planning
Good instruction is always well planned. Lesson plan should be prepared in
advance. Its help the teacher in effective presentation of the topic.
6. The Principle of Variety
According to this principle, teachers should use a variety of teaching tactics and
teaching aids to motivate the students towards learning
7. The Principle of Creating Conducive Environment
67
The classroom environment plays a very important role in effective instruction.
There should be a proper arrangement of furniture, light system and discipline in the
classroom.
8. The Principle of Learning by Doing
Learning by doing removes the dullness of the lesson and students do not get bored.
Its help in effective learning.
2.23 SUGGESTED MEASURES FOR EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION
Phil and nick (2003, p.113) suggested the following measures for effective
instruction:
• Sort goals by Learning Domain
Teachers should sort goals by learning domain i.e. cognitive, affective and
psychomotor.
• Being with what the Students Knows
The teacher should start the topic with what the students know,
• More from Simple to Complex Concept
The teacher should taught simple concept first then complex ones.
• Accommodate the Student’s Preferred Learning Style
The teacher should accommodate the student‟s preferred learning style.
Students learn more if teachers use their preferred learning style.
• Involve the Students in Planning
Teacher should cooperative towards students. He/she must involve the
students in every step of teaching.
68
• Command Over the Subject
The teacher should thought subjects with all its requirement. He / she must have
command over the subject.
Make Material Meaningful
Teachers should select and provide such material that will be meaningful and
learnable by the students.
• Reward Desired Learning With Praise
The teacher should use appropriate ways of appreciating student good work.
Its provide positive feedback to students to learn and grow better.
2.24 INSTRUCTION AND TEACHING METHODS
The main focus of instruction is to being out a desirable change in the behavior
of learner. It is brought about by the teacher by using various methods of teaching.
According to Khan and Akbar (2004, pp.50-55) there are four categories into which
methods of teaching can be divided into the four categories. These categories are given
below as:
1. Teacher Directed Methods
a. Lecture
b. Demonstration
c. Drill
d. Questioning
2. Student Directed Methods
a. Individualized instruction
b. Individual study
3. Inter-Active Methods
a. Discussion
69
b. Group project
c. Task force
4. Problem Solving Method
2.25 FACTOR FOR SELECTING TEACHING METHODS
All these teaching methods are important, can be selected by keeping in view certain
factors. These factors are indicated by Davis (2001, p.90) as:
Nature of the content
Time
Finance
Teaching facilities
Environment
Target audience
Teacher ( Trainer)
2.26 Teaching Practice
A number of terms such as the practice teaching, students teaching, teaching
practice, field studies, infield experience, and school based experience or internship are
used refer to this activity (Taneja, 2000, p.68).
According to Ali (2005, p.3) teaching practice is considered the pivotal
component of teacher education program. Teaching practice is defined as teaching by a
student under the super vision of an experienced teacher. In the same reference Akbar
(2002, p.8) mentioned that teaching practice is the practical use of teaching methods,
teaching strategies, teaching principles, teaching of deferent activities of daily life.
In the view of Brown & Brown (1990, p.25), teaching practice is viewed as
providing the opportunities to display recognize and refine the abilities that are latent
70
in the student. To meet the challenges of the teaching professions, it is vital that student
teacher receive comprehensive pre-service training (Russell & Korthagen,
1995, p.113)
2.27 OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING PRACTICE
In the view of Mohan (2011, pp.59-60), the teaching practice is mainly used for
following objectives:
1. Student teachers establish an appropriate teacher pupil relationship with children.
2. They learn to communication amicably with children.
3. They get the experience of working with their pupils.
4. They develop with their pupils a relationship of respect and liking.
5. They develop a relationship with children of different abilities.
6. They try-out ideas which they have learned in the instruction.
7. They acquire and improve teaching skills.
8. They apply in the classroom the methodology of teaching basic skills.
9. They learn to organize subject matter to make it significant to their pupil.
10. They examine curriculum in the local context.
11. They evaluate their potential as a teacher and suitability for the teaching profession.
12. They develop personal relationship with others e.g administration, teacher, parents
and students.
13. They learn to overcome the problems of discipline method of control.
14. They learn how to plan and prepare effective lessons.
15. They develop desirable professional interests, attitudes relative to teaching
profession.
16. They identify their own strengths and weakness about teaching skills.
71
2.28 APPROACHES TO TEACHING PRACTICE:
Different approaches are used for practice teaching is:
2.28.1 Model the Master Teacher
This approach is given by Stolurow (1965). According to this approach, the
teacher told the students what to do, showed them how to do it. The student‟s imitated
the master teachers teaching skills, performance, personality and attitudes (Stones &
Morris, 1990, p.8).
2.28.2 Master the Teaching Model
This approach was given by stresses in 1967. According to this approach, the
student teachers follow teaching models for practicing teaching (Roth, 1999, p. 137).
2.28.3 Teaching Practice in Real Classroom Situation
According to Gujjar (2010), teaching practice is a course or program in which
the students are posted to schools, normally lower than their instillations of learning, to
teach the student subject areas of their specialization for a specified period. During the
period, student teachers are treated as subject teachers and at the same time have to obey
all assignment given by the cooperating school authorities.
2.28.3.1 Steps in Teaching Practice in Real Classroom Situation:
Teaching practice is a systematic program. It is always done in steps:
2.28.3.1-a Visit to Practicing School
In this step student teachers visit to that particular school, where they are going
for teaching practice. This visit helps for them to get information about school, its
environment, and timing of the school, text books, and teaching methods of concerned
class teacher, teaching aids, age of the students and strength of the class
72
(Fraser & McGree, 2001, pp.152-154).
2.28.3.1-b Lesson Planning
It is a second most important step of teaching practice. According to Killen
(2007, p.95), lesson plan is basically a blue print of teaching activities undertaken in the
classroom. Lesson planning justice with topic, identify and achieving instructional
objectives, develop reasoning imagination power, develop confidence, save time and
angry, maintaining discipline in the classroom and maintaining the sequence of content
and presentation.
These are various types of lesson planning. Meburrey (2005, 89) mentioned the
following type of lesson planning.
• Macro-Lesson Plans.
They are used in normal teaching duration of lesson is for 35-45 minutes,
• Micro-Lesson Plans
They are used in teacher training program duration of lesson plan is five to ten
minutes,
• Unwritten Lesson Plans
In normal day to day teaching, unwritten lesson plans are used by the teachers to
make teaching effective,
The worth of the lesson planning can be judged by determining whether:
• Previous knowledge tested
• Objectives are attainable
• Content reflects the objectives
• Teaching methods appropriate
• A.V. aids used properly
73
• Recapitulation made etc. (Cohen,Manion,Morison, p.89)
2.28.3.1-c Teaching in Real Classroom Situation
This is the 3rd step. In this step, the student teacher teaches in the classroom by
keeping in view the lesson planning.
2.28.3.1-d Evaluation of Teaching Practice
Supervisor observes the performance of the student teachers in the light of the
following observation sheet:
Satisfactory Good Excellent
A. Personal Aspects of the
Teacher
1. Vocal
2. Speaking style
3. Attitude
4. Gesture

(Source: Akbar, 2002, pp.45-46)
2.28.4 Micro-Teaching
It is a teaching technique which requires pupil teachers to teach a single concept,
using specified teaching skills to a small number of pupils in a short duration of time.
It is considered as a very effective teacher training techniques at pre-service and in-
service level (Bansal, 2007, p.57).
2.29 Classroom Assessment
75
According to Airasia (1997, p.67), classroom assessment is a method of
understanding the current knowledge of a student in a course or in a subject. Popham
(1995, p:31) described that assessment information highlights the true picture of student
performance and enables educators and other decision makers to make appropriate
decisions about grades, advancement, placement, instructional needs and curriculum.
2.30 Components of Classroom Assessment:
Classroom assessment is a difficult task. It can be successfully implemented if
class teacher follows following components as indicated by Butter & McMunn (2006,
pp.59-60):
• Goals of assessment
• Measurement
• Evaluation
• Uses of assessment
These components with questions to ask at each step are best illustrated in the figure
2.6:
Goals What

assessment?
Measurement
What techniques will be used to
collect information?
Evaluation What
norms will be used to
interpret the results?
USE

Figure 2.6: Components of Classroom Assessment
2.31 Purposes of Assessment in Instruction:
76
Assessment plays very important role in instruction. The major purposes of
assessment are summarized by Ward & Ward (1996, pp.60-62) in the table 2.4:
Table 2.4. The Many Purposes of Assessment from the Viewpoints of Parents,
Students, Teachers, Administrators, and Policymakers.
Policymakers need assessments to: Set standards
Focus on goals
Monitor the quality of education
Reward/ sanction various
practices
Formulate polices
Direct resources including
personnel and money
Administrator need assessments to Monitor program effectiveness
Identify program strengths and
weaknesses
Designate program priorities
Assess alternatives
Plan and improve program
Teachers and administrator use
assessment for:
Grouping decisions
Individual diagnosis and
prescription
Monitoring student progress
Curriculum evaluation and
refinement
Fostering mastery/ promotion/
grading and other feedback
Motivating students
77
Grading
Parents / students can use assessments to Gauge student progress.
Assess student strengths and
weaknesses
Evaluate school accountability
2.32 TOOLS OF ASSESSMENT
For effective teaching learning process, the class teacher frequently uses various tools
to measure the achievement of his /her pupils. Chappuis, Stigging, Arter (2013, p. 88)
enlisted following tools of assessment:
• Paper and pencil tests
• Objective tests
• Subjective tests
• Oral tests
• Assessment of performance
• Assessment of Products
• Observation
• Retrospective ratings
• Portfolios
In the same, Mc Millan (2007, p. 59) also mentioned different assessment tools as
given in the table 2.5:

2.33 CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD ASSESSMENT TOOLS
For getting good results from the above mentioned assessment tools, the educator
should know the characteristics of a good assessment. Sindhu (2005, pp.46-50) described
the following characteristics of a good assessment.
1. Objectivity
An assessment tool should be objective in nature. Objectivity ensures both
reliability and validity of the said tool. The objectivity of an assessment tool can be obtained
by following two ways.
i. Objectivity of the questions ii.
Objectivity of scoring
2. Reliability
An assessment tool should be reliable. Reliability means the truthfulness of a
measuring instrument. An assessment tool is thought to be reliable, if it gives same results
when repeated again & again
3. Validity
An assessment tool should measure those objectives for which it is intended to
measure. Validity is an important characteristic of an assessment tool.
4. Comprehensible
An assessment tool should be comprehensible in nature. Procedure of
administration, scoring and interpretation should be understandable besides it, there are
some other important characteristics suggested by Sahu (2004, pp.333-334) as:
5. Easy to Administer
82
An assessment tool should have easy administration Directions for administration
should be clear, concise and easy.
6. Economical
An assessment tool should be economical. It should be affordable by the
institution by the administration.
7. Not too Long
An assessment tool should be completed within prescribed time limit.
8. Ability to Discriminate
An assessment tool should discriminate weak, average and bright individuals. So,
an assessment tool must have appropriate difficulty level.
9. Cover Maximum Content
An assessment tool should cover maximum content. It‟s should be fairly distributed
over the whole course.
10. Easy to Score
An assessment should be easy to score. Teacher can score it without facing any
difficulty.
11. Format
The format of assessment tool be attractive. Typography and quality of paper should
be good.
2.34 Planning an Assessment:
Educators should be expert in planning an assessment task. Following tasks are proposed
by Clarke (2008, p.64) for the planning of an assessment:
1. Determine the Purpose of the Assessment
83
This is the first step in planning an assessment task. Assessment can be used for
various purposes. Determining the purpose of assessment makes an assessment easy job
for the educators.
2. Decide the Domain of an Assessment
This is the second step in planning an assessment. This step keeps the educators on
the track helps in focusing the attention on assessment goals.
3. Decide the Methods of Assessment.
The educator should select appropriate methods of assessment. Revak (1995, p.63-
65) identified that following steps should be considered while selecting an assessment
methods.
i. Decide the assessment purposes ii. Examine
the assessment options iii. Consider the merits and
demerits of each option.
Each method has its own merits and demerits. Schnitzer (1993, pp.31-32) briefly
described the merits and demerits of different assessment methods, given in the table 2.6:
Table 2.6: Merits and Demerits of Assessment Methods
Methods Merits Demerits
1. Written test

observed
9. Interviews Face to face verbal
communication is possible
Scoring may be
difficult
2.35 STANDARDS FOR TEACHER COMPETENCE IN EDUCATIONAL
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS:
According to the National Council Measurement in Education (NCME) (1995,
pp.5-7) teachers should be skilled in:
• selecting assessment methods suitable to instructional objectives designing &
developing methods appropriate to instructional objectives.
• administering, scoring and analyzing the results.
85
• using assessment result for effective decision making about individual students,
planning teaching, curriculum and school improvement.
• designing grading procedures for pupil‟s assessment.
• informing assessment results to students, parents and other educators.
• identifying inappropriate assessment methods.
CHAPTER NO. 3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The design of the study was descriptive one: the design best suited to the nature of this
research study in which data collection procedures and data analysis techniques were
applied to get the results of the study (Upgrade & Shende, 2010, p. 28). The researcher
adapted the following procedure to carry out this study:
3.1 POPULATION
• Target population
The target population of the study was all university teachers and students engaged
in the BS Education Program at all public universities of the Punjab.
• Accessible population
The students studying in BS Education program (years 2010,2011,2012) and the
teachers associated with BS Education from four universities Bahauddin Zakariya
University, Multan, University of Sargodha, Sargodha, Government College
University, Faisalabad and Islamia University, Bahawalpur of the Punjab were
taken as accessible population.
3.2 SAMPLE
86
At the time of the commencement of this research, only four universities of the
Punjab were offering BS-4 Year program in Education i.e. Bahauddin Zakariya
University, Multan, University of Sargodha, Sargodha, Govt. College University,
Faisalabad and Islamia University, Bahawalpur. So, the sample was drawn out of the
accessible population of these institutions.
The majority of the university regular teachers (53) from the Department of
Education were taken as sample for the study. Out of total number of students (987) in BS-
4 Year program, 329 students from the population were selected as a sample by using
stratified random sampling technique.
Department of Education from the sample universities, provided researcher with
the list of all students. The researcher picked up proportionate sample keeping in view the
ratio of student in the population. The detail is given in the table 3.1:
Table No.3.1 Students’ Sample

4. IUB 207 21 % 69
Total: 987 329
Number of students in the population = 228, 306, 246, 207
87
Proportion of students in the population = 23: 31: 25: 21
Number of students in the sample (30% of population) = 76, 102, 82, 69
Proportion of students in the sample = 23: 31: 25: 21
3.3 RESEARCH TOOLS
In order to collect the relevant data, three different tools were developed.
1. Questionnaire for the teachers
Research Tools 2. Questionnaire for the students
3. Opinionnaire for the teachers
3.3.1 Description of Tools
1. Questionnaire for the Teachers:
The researcher prepared a 5 point Likert scale for the teachers. This lengthy scale covered
six components of BS Program i.e. Context, Curriculum content, Physical facilities,
Instruction, Teaching practice and Assessment separately. (Given in Appendix - B). The
detail of the statements is given in the table 3.2:

2. Questionnaire for the Students
A five point Likert type scale, comprising 40 statements, was also constructed by the
researcher to collect information from the students about the effectiveness of BS Program.
Statements in the scale were also subdivided into four components. (Given in
Appendix- A).
3. Opinionnaire for the Teachers
An Opinionnaire comprising 12 close ended questions, for the teachers was also
developed to obtain their opinion about instruction, teaching practice and assessment
component of BS 4 Year program in Education (Given in Appendix - C).
The researcher, intentionally, used two instruments for teachers‟: a Rating scale and an
opinionnaire. Through opinionnaire:
(i) only demographic information were elicited
(ii) Quantitative data, pertaining to process and product components only, were
collected and recorded whereas, the “Rating Scale” covered all the four
components (Context, Input, Process and Product) in a comprehensive way
and of course qualitative data were collected and analyzed thoroughly.
Use of opinionnaire for teachers, was imperative for the researcher as a
supplement which filled the gaps of the data, collected by the “Rating Scale”.
3.4 VALIDATION OF RESEARCH TOOLS
89
In general, the term validity refers to the effectiveness of an instrument in achieving
specified purposes (Shah, 2007, P.156). To achieve the purposes of the present study, the
researcher prepared all the research tools in consultation with the experts in the field of
educational testing. The final tools were attractive in appearance, carefully arranged and
accurately composed. All these characteristics are the basic elements of any good tools
(Rashid, 2005, p.334).
3.5 ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION OF THE DATA
In case of BZU, Multan, the researcher herself administered the tools to the teachers and
students. But for other institutes, the researcher sought help from her colleagues and the
staff of the respective universities.
3.6 TABULATION OF DATA
After collecting the data, the researcher recorded the responses on the master sheet in
tabular form, presented in the form of tables and pie charts.
3.7 DATA ANALYSIS
Data were analyzed in the two phases:

Table 4.42 shows that 302 students (91%) got score more than 120. Score 120 (40X3) was
taken as the norm of acceptance on the questionnaire, which showed their agreement on
the statements. Only 9% students showed their disagreement on the statements. It is
inferred that the large majority of students were satisfied with the effectiveness of BS-4
Year Education program at university level.
4.A(iv): PAIR-WISE MEAN COMPARISON
Samples were derived from four universities of the Punjab. On the whole, there
were 329 (76, 69, 108, 76) students in the study sample. Arithmetic mean and SD values
141
were computed by recording of students responses in the pairs of universities as given in

Table 4.43 shows that in three pairs (pair indicated in s#1, s#2, s#6), the calculated value
of “z” was more than the table value (1.96) (0.05 level of significance) which showed that
the mean difference of students response in these pairs were significant whereas in other
three pairs (pair indicated in s #3, s#4, s#5) mean difference were found to be statistically
insignificant.

According to the table 4.44, the most accepted component of the program by the students
was Assessment (combined mean 3.80) while other three components accepted by the
students were Input ( physical facilities & curriculum content ),Process( instruction &
teaching practice component) and Context with combined mean 2.70. It could be inferred
that the „Context‟ of the program, was not appreciable for the students in the sample.
4.B: DATA ANALYSIS FOR TEACHERS’ SAMPLE
The sample consisted of 53 university teachers. The rating scale comprised 105
statements in all, which were divided into four major components as :
143
1. Context
2. Input (Curriculum content and Physical resources)
3. Process (Instruction and Teaching practice)
4. Product ( Assessment)

Table No. 4.45 shows that the statements were 105 in number, the norm of
agreement was set on 315 (105 x 3). Correspondence of aggregate scores of teachers with
the norm showed that 45 out of 53 teachers scored more than that norm score 315. It can
be inferred that a majority of teachers agreed that the BS 4-Year program in Education is
effective at university level. However, 15% teachers did not show their acceptance for the
program in focus.

Table 4.52 indicated that 85% (45 out of 53) teachers were satisfied with the Context of the
BS 4-Year Program in Education which indicated that a majority of teachers considered
the introduction of this programme at university level, effective for the student teachers as
well as for the community in focus. The analysis of the Component in Sr. No. 2 showed
that 89% (47 out of 53) teachers were satisfied with curriculum content being taught in BS
Program while 77% (41 out of 53) teachers were satisfied with the provision of physical
facilities regarding the concerned program. On the whole, 83% (44 out of 53) teachers
accepted this component of BS 4-Year Program as effective for the student teachers. So far
as the analysis of the Component indicated in s#3, 96% (51 out of 53) teachers were
satisfied with the effectiveness of instruction, while 98% (52 out of 53) agreed to the
significance of teaching practice organized for BS students. Overall, 96%
(51 out of 53) were in favour of this Component. Lastly, the analysis of the Assessment
Component reflected 98% acceptance level from the teachers in the sample.
4.B (iv): Gender-Wise Comparison
To determine the significance of difference between mean of scores of male and female
teachers, z – test was applied. The formula is as under:
157
z M1 M2

C.V. (2.98) > T.V. (1.96)
Difference between mean scores of two-samples was significant which indicated that the
acceptance level of female teachers was relatively higher than that of male group regarding
the effectiveness of BS 4-Year Programme in Education at University level.
4.B (v): Factor-Matrix (Inter-Correlation Between Components of the Scale)
Where in,
M2 = Mean of scores of male teachers (362.3)
M1 = Mean of scores of female teachers (385.9)

Table 4.53 shows that there was high positive correlation coefficient (r = 0.68) between
159
F1 and F2 component. The values of “r” between 0.30 and 0.46 were considered to be
moderate. In F2 and F3, the value of “r” was 0.46 but in F2 and F4 , the value of “r”
was 0.30.In three cases, the values were quite low in followings factors: 0.27 in case of F3
and F4; 0.20 in case of F1 and F3 and only 0.08 in case of F1 and F4. However, all positive
values showed that components of the tool were inter-correlated with one another and the
tool (Questionnaire for teachers) was valid.
4.C. Analysis of Opinionnaire for Teachers

CHAPTER NO. 5
SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS,
RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 SUMMARY
BS 4-Year is an absolutely new program, initiated with the aim of preparing the
students of Pakistan to compete with other students at international level. Most of the
universities in Pakistan are offering BS 4- Year Program in the disciplines of Basic
sciences, Social sciences and Languages. Still far as no study has been done to evaluate BS
4-Year Program, the researcher selected this particular topic. The present study was
delimited to BS 4-Year Program in the subject of Education. The main objective of the
study was to develop an evaluation model for BS 4-Year Program in the Subject of
Education. The sample of the study comprised four (4) public universities of the Punjab,
where the BS Education program was functional at the time of commencement of the
present research work. The majority of permanent university teachers fifty three (53)
(male & female) from the Department of Education and three hundred and twenty-nine
(329) students (male & female) studying in different semesters of BS 4-Year program in
Education from the sample universities were included in the sample. The Students‟ sample
was selected by using Stratified random sampling technique. As research tools,
questionnaires for teachers and students were prepared separately and administered to the
respective samples and analyzed. Moreover, an opinionnaire for teachers about instruction,
teaching practice and assessment components was also designed, administered and
analyzed. The collected data were analyzed by using percentages, mean score, z–test,
164
product-moment correlation and factor-matrix. As far as the conclusions of the study were
concerned, it was found that on maximum components of the Questionnaire (teachers and
students) showed their satisfaction. Keeping in view the findings, conclusions,
recommendations of the study, an evaluation model was proposed.

15. Students are satisfied with the time allowed to complete the examination papers
(Table 4.40)
5.2.A.ii. On the whole, on 25 (62.5%) statement, students showed their positive response
towards the effectiveness of BS Education program. While on 15 (37.5%) statements,
students response was negative (Table 4.41).
5.2.A.iii. Each Individual student score was calculated on 40 statements in the scale. It
indicates that 302 students got score more than 120. Score 120 (40 × 3) was taken as the
norm of acceptance on the questionnaire. While remaining 27 students got less core. So, it
was found that a large majority of students were satisfied with the effectiveness of BS
Education program at university level. (Table 4.42).
5.2.A.iv. Students sample were derived from four universities of the Punjab. So, university
wise analysis of the students response was also calculated. In addition to this, students
responses were also analyzed by keeping in view the different pair of universities. From
the analysis, it was found that the arithmetic mean of the students of B.Z.U was 145.99 and
of I.U.B was 149.51 with SD (8.03) and (9.69) respectively. The calculated CR (z) value
is 2.36 which is more than table value (1.96 at 0.05 level of significance). Statistically,
there is significant difference between the mean of both universities, which indicated that
the responses of the students were different in the above pair of universities. (Table 4.43,
168
S# 1). In the second pair of universities, the arithmetic mean of the students of B.Z.U was
145.99 and of UOS was 150.69 with SD (8.03) and
(4.11) respectively. The calculated CR (z) value is 4.70 which is more than table value
(1.96 at 0.05 level of significance). Statistically, there is significant difference between the
mean of both universities, which indicated that the responses of the students were different
in the above pair of universities. (Table 4.43, S# 02) In the third pair of universities, the
arithmetic mean of the students of B.Z.U was 145.99 and of GCUF was 148.45 with SD
(8.03) and (8.31) respectively. The calculated CR (z) value is 1.06 which is more than table
value (1.96 at 0.05 level of significance). Statistically, there is insignificant difference
between the mean of both universities, which indicated that the responses of the students
of GCUF were slightly better as compare the students of BZU. (Table 4.43, S# 03). In the
fourth pair of universities, the arithmetic mean of the students of IUB was 149.51 and of
UOS was 150.69 with SD (8.03) and (8.31) respectively. The calculated CR (z) value is
0.89 which is less than table value (1.96 at 0.05 level of significance). Statistically, there is
insignificant difference between the mean of both universities, which indicated that the
responses of the students of UOS showed slightly better response than students of IUB
(Table 4.43, S# 04). In the fifth pair of universities, the arithmetic mean of the students of
IUB was 149.51 and of GCUF was 148.45 with SD (8.03) and (9.69) respectively. The
calculated CR (z) value is 0.70 which is less than table value (1.96 at 0.05 level of
significance). Statistically, there is insignificant difference between the mean of both
universities, which indicated that the responses of the students of IUB showed slightly
better response as compared to the students of GCU, F. (Table 4.43, S# 05). In the sixth
pair of universities, the arithmetic mean of the students of GCUF was 148.45 and of UOS
169
was 150.69 with SD (8.31) and (4.11) respectively. The calculated CR (z) value is 2.17
which is more than table value (1.96 at 0.05 level of significance). Statistically, there is
significant difference between the mean of both universities, which indicated that the
responses of the students were different in the above pair of universities. (Table 4.43, S#
06).
5.2.A.v. The most accepted component of the program by the students was product
(assessment) with combined mean value 3.80. While the other three components, accepted
by the students were curriculum content, physical facilities, instructions, teaching practice
and context with combined mean values 3.57, 3.20 and 2.70
respectively. (Table 4.44).
5.2 B. Findings from Teachers’ Sample
i. Aggregate of scores of teachers on all components were calculated. As the statements
were 105 in numbers, the norm of agreement was set on 315 (105 × 3). Correspondence
of aggregate scores of teachers with the norm showed that forty five (45) teachers scored
more than that norm score (315). So, it can be inferred that a majority of teachers were in
agreement with the effectiveness of BS Education. While only fifteen (15) teachers,
reactive otherwise. (Table 4.45). ii. In case of teachers‟ sample, positive response was
observed on 16 out of 17 statements in Context component; 27 out of 34 statements in
case of Input component; 34 out of 37 statements in Process component and 13 out of 17
statements in Product component. On the whole, on 90 out of 105 statements, teachers‟
positive response was observed about the effectiveness of BS Education Program. (Table
4.46, Table 4.47, Table 4.48, Table 4.49, Table 4.50, Table
4.51).
170
iii. Teachers‟ response from each scale components were also calculate by using
percentages. In teachers‟ sample, 85% (45 out of 53) respondents agreed on the
effectiveness of Context component, 83% (44 out of 53) agreed to input
component, 96% (51 out of 53) agreed to process component while 98% (51 out
of 53) agreed to the effectiveness of product as a component of B S 4- Year
Education program at university level. (Table 4.52).
iv. Z-test was used to determine the difference between mean of scores of male and
female teachers. The value of „z‟ was calculated to be 2.98 which was greater than
1.96 (table value at 0.05 level of significance). Difference between mean scores of
male and female samples was significance which indicated that the acceptance
level of female teachers was relatively higher than that of male teachers regarding
the effectiveness of BS 4-Year program in education at university level (P.141).
v. In teachers‟ scale, the coefficient of correlation (r) between context and Input was
0.68; that shows strong relationship between context and input components, “r”
between Context and Process, was 0.20, which indicated weak relationship
between context and process components, Value of “r” in case of Context and
Product, was 0.08, which shows weakest relationship among components,
Coefficient of correlation for Input and Process was 0.46; which indicated
moderate relationship among components “r” was 0.30 in case of Inpu t and
Product and it was 0.27 in case of Process and Product, these values indicated quite
low relationship among components (Table 4.53).
171
vi. In view of responses to the part of teachers opinionnaire, related to Process
component, the maximum percentage were observed as:
Teachers (37. 74 % ) in favour of “ Discussion method”
77.39 % in favour of “Computer Assisted Instruction”
77.34% in favour of “teaching practice at the end of session”
71.70% in favour of “4-week teaching practice”
60.38% in favour of “ 2 criticism lessons daily”
75.47% in favour of “more than 20% weightage for teaching
practice
45.28% in favour of “two final lessons”
50.00% in favour of “Evaluation of final lessons by using. “Structured
Evaluation Sheet” (Table 4.54).
vii. In view of responses to the part of teacher‟s opinionnaire, related to Product
(assessment) component, maximum % age were observed as:
Teachers (94.34%) in favour of internal / semester system.
84.91% in favour of written examination.
66.04% in favour of 70:30 ratio of theory and practice components
57.47% in favor of moderation of students final marks / grades
(table 4.55).
5.3 CONCLUSIONS
As far as the conclusions of the study were concerned, it was found that on maximum
components of the tools, teachers and students showed their satisfaction. According to
172
them, BS 4-Year program in Education had failed to develop communication skills
among the students, the curriculum content was theoretical in nature, the curriculum
content was unable to develop practical skills among students, the curriculum content
did not inspire students to be creative. Computer labs were not well-equipped with the
facilities required for the courses, A.V. aids were inadequate to run classroom
activities, internet facility was not available in the library, the library was not linked
with the other libraries and information resources, teachers did not use a variety of
instructional methods and innovative strategies to promote critical thinking among
students, written guidance regarding teaching-practice was not provided before-hand
to the perspective teachers, teachers forced students to study class notes for the
preparation of examinations, examinations did not fulfill the educational objectives
other than the cognitive ones. In the examination papers, the proportion of objective
and essay items were inappropriate. As a result of instruction & teaching practice
components in the Opinionnaire, majority of teachers were in favor of discussion
method; computer-assisted instruction; teaching practice at the end of term; 4- week
duration of teaching practice; daily two criticism lessons; 20% weight age to practice,
two final lessons and use of evaluation sheet. As a result of assessment component in
the opinionnaire, a majority of teachers was in favor of semester system, written
examination, 70:30 ratio of theory and practice and moderation of final marks/awards.

5.4.1 Reference CIPP Model of Program Evaluation
The CIPP model of evaluation was developed by Daniel Stufflebeam and
colleagues in the 1960s, out of their experience of evaluating education projects for the
OHIO public school district. The CIPP Evaluation Model provides a comprehensive
175
framework for guiding evaluations of programs, projects, personnel, products, institutions
and evaluation systems. This model requires the evaluation of context, Input, Process and
Product in judging a program‟s value. (Stufflebeam, 2003). These components are given
in figure 5.1:
Figure No. 5.1 Components of model
Stufflebeam & shinkfield (2007, pp.86-87 summarized the meaning of these four
components of evaluation as:
1. Context Evaluation
This is the most basic type of evaluation. It helps in determining objectives. It
identifies unmet needs and unused opportunities. This also describes the boundaries of the
program to be evaluated.
2. Input Evaluation
This stage of evaluation model provides information and determines how to
176
utilize resources to meet the goals of the program. It considers the strategies to achieve
goals.
3. Process Evaluation
Process evaluation is used to investigate into the quality of program
implementation. It also provides feedback regarding the extent to which planned
activities are carried out.
4. Product Evaluation
It collects descriptions and judgments of outcomes and relates them to objectives and to
context, input and process information. It also assesses the positive and negative effects the
program had on its target persons.
5.4.2 Proposed Model for BS 4- Year Education Program
1. Context Evaluation
Context evaluation includes examining and determining:
by teachers and students.
BS 4-Year Program in Education may
Prove to be reasonable alternative for M.A Education

177
Present a comprehensive and practicable frame work for training of
prospective teachers
Ensure students‟ vocational and economic security in future.
Meet the concurrent challenges of teacher education.
Develop communicative and creative skills among student- teachers.
Utilize youth‟s talent adequately.
Satisfy parent‟s aspirations associated with their children‟s future
5. Input Evaluation
Input evaluation may include assessing and describing
• Available resources to complete the program
•
Suitability of physical facilities, viewed by teachers and students
associated with the program.

6. Process Evaluation
Process evaluation may include examining and evaluating:
• How the program is being implemented with respect to instructional quality
•
The quality and effectiveness of teaching practice organized for future teachers.
•
The internal and external threats to the utilization of teaching practice as a
component of teacher education.
•
