Abstract

The role of teacher has been revolutionized in the modern era. The stick and rod culture now has been replaced by the use of modern technology in teaching. This paper highlights the multiple roles of school teachers and teacher training in Pakistan. Teachers fail to add to the confidence of the students. Teachers are not familiar with classroom methodology just because of lack of proper teacher training modules and the use of modern technology in teaching. We have to diagnose the role of teacher in good teaching because teacher is considered to be a pivot in teaching learning process. The present study highlights the current problems faced by a teacher in particular Pakistani context. The study highly recommends that the teacher’s role should be clearly determined in order to have a quality learning teaching environment.
