‘An aim may be defined as long-term goal. Sometimes aim provides a goal
for the teacher to achieve related to the leamers and at times course aims
obviously grade long-term goals related to the learner and sometimes there
is a combined goal for the teacher and learner to accomplish together. The
aim may be expressed as a goal for the teacher in the range of the course
whereas it can also indicate goals for the learner outside the period of the
course.

Objectives of Teacher Education
Some of the most important objectives of teacher education are as follows:
Subject Matter Knowledge:
The most important objective is to cultivate an expertise of the knowledge
of subject matter.
Pedagogic Skills:
The main objective of teacher education is to improve the pedagogical
skills to motivate the taught, in an artificially formed settingé=The cei

Improving social values
The philosopher John Dewey wrote, “Education is not a preparation for life but
is life itself” Dewey reflected extensively on the page about the role of education
in a healthy, ever-evolving democratic society, and he believed classrooms aren't
just a place to study social change, but a place to spark social change. Dewey
wrote about these topics in the early twentieth century, at a time when debates

raged about whether teachers should be tasked with preparing students to conform
or to actively push for progress and improvement where they are necessary.
These same debates continue today with real implications for education policy.
Dewey remains one of our clearest voices on the argument that the classroom
ought to be seen as an important locus of social change. For present and future
teachers, it’s one thing to appreciate Dewey’s views on education and social
change and quite another to create a classroom envitonment that embodies them.
So, how can teachers build real classrooms that exemplify Dewey's idgals.for
education in society?
Here are a few ideas: * ~~ >
1. Encourage active participation and einen wit among
students. >
Unfortunately, teachers and student wi te some%kinfd of paper-based
progress often push for a lot of rizationvOf datesefacts, and definitions.
However, this type of Pe one eres -shiftifig classroom activity of

2. Teach students instead of teat em what to think.

poem,+sGry; or dtier object and employs the Socratic method to stimulate
classt6om discussion — not necessarily about the prompt, but around it.
3. Prepare Students to expect the need for change and to believe in their own
ability totake positive steps for the benefit of society.
One step teachers can take to encourage students to play a part in larger societal
improvement is to create a classroom where they’re given the responsibility and
authority to make some significant decisions. If teachers have all the answers, it’s
implied that students are expected to receive knowledge, not offer solutions or
improvements. But if teachers make it clear that, especially when it comes to the
big questions we all face, even those in authority don’t know it all, then students
have more room to rely on their own cognitive powers and problem-solving skills.

4, Make classroom processes democratic to establish the idea that if we
actively participate in our communities, we can help make decisions about
how they function.
Dewey noted that if we want our education systems to benefit the larger c:
a healthy democratic society, then it’s important that we keep democracy as a
central “frame of reference” in our classrooms. Too often, he adds, we forget that
participating in a democracy is a skill that needs to be honed in our daily lives.
The classroom is a good place to learn to do just that: eae aking

teacher training courses would be revised and reformulated. Keeping these
pressing considerations in view, the Curriculum Wing of the Federal Ministry
of Education revised the teacher education curriculum for all stages. At first
step, the teacher education Curriculum for the Elementary stage was revised,
It was followed by the revision of the curriculum for Secondary Teacher

"Teacher" is the core to achieve quality education Pakistan pursues. The
teaching force in Pakistan is 1.35m working in government schools. Total
teacher training institutions for pre-service training are 275. Teacher training
resource centers in the districts are 300. In Pakistan teachers at the
elementary and secondary levels are mostly trained under a prescribed
curriculum, They are recruited on the bases of Professional Qualifications.
In the college Education & Universities most of the lecturers are untrained
with only academie qualifications, But now Higher Education academics
have been established to train the in-service teachers Re in ules

Problems of Teacher Education
1. Absence of Practical Policy & Standards:
To date, all teacher-training programs are operating without a viable policy
framework. The government is aware of this vacuum yet it has not taken
any concrete steps to implement a policy to bring all teaching programs
under a single umbrella. This has led teaching institutions to develop and
implement teacher education programs at their discretion leading to uneven
and sometimes poor quality curriculum, teaching methods and practices

Hence, lack of standards and accreditation has led to varied and substandard
training programs.
2. Institutional Clutter:
The numerous government teacher training institutions at the provincial
levels (BoCs, PITE, DSD, UoE, DCTE, etc) have unclear mandates. An overlap
between their roles and responsibilities also exists. Except for Punjab, which
has just recently divided the roles of providing pre-service and in-service
training between its two apex organizations: UoE and PSBorespe sy
