This qualitative case study was conducted to explore the perceptions of History research students about the effectiveness of instructional practices of university teachers. This study assumes that research students are active stakeholders and keen observers, so they perceive their teachers’ professionalism very deeply. All students who had completed their coursework and were working on their research work at the MPhil level in the Department of History at a public university were selected to conduct this study. An interview guide was constructed to collect the data, which included three significant dimensions: students’ engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 students who volunteered to participate in the study. Interview data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings of the study suggest that most students perceived that teachers used a variety of techniques to motivate the students who showed low interest in the class. Moreover, they perceived that the instructional strategies of teachers were diverse, catering to various learning styles of students. However, students also perceived that some teachers had discouraging behaviour on students’ questioning and also waste class time gossiping with students due to lack of proper planning. It seems there is a need to develop mechanisms for the professional development of faculty members. In addition, there is a need to find ways to motivate teachers to bring effectiveness to their instruction in higher education classrooms.

The purpose of this study was to explore classroom management challenges that novice teachers experienced in their early years of profession. Moreover, this study explored the administrative support novice teachers received from school administration concerning classroom management. We drew on interview data to explore novice teachers' experiences who had less than three years of experience during their first job in public elementary schools. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of ten novice teachers. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the experiences of novice teachers. The analysis came up with four themes: Responsive administration, helping hands, struggling with workload, and supportive principal.The study's findings revealed that most of the teachers faced over-crowded classes and a high workload in their initial time. Most of the teachers had received support from the administration; however, the administration was helpless regarding many challenges that the novice teachers faced in their early years. Many administrators did not help the novice teachers’ deal with over-crowded classrooms, the extra workload in the form of periods per week, and the management of students' behaviors.

This qualitative interpretative phenomenological study aimed to exploreearly childhood education (ECE) teachers’ attitudes (perceptions, feelings,and practices) towards classroom management strategies in inclusive earlychildhood education classroom settings in Lahore. Inclusive education ispresently an extensively debatable issue in the education field around theworld. Pakistan also lacks adequate provisions of inclusive education inschools, and there are insufficient awareness and training for teachers aboutinclusive education. However, proper awareness of inclusive educationamong teachers has the potential to improve the student’s positive outcomes.International theoretical literature suggests that ECE teachers often useteacher-directed strategies in inclusive classrooms to achieve positiveoutcomes for all students. This study used the phenomenological researchdesign, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 ECEteachers who were working in inclusive ECE classroom settings in Lahore.The interpretative phenomenological analysis of interview data wasconducted using NVivo 12 software to analyze and generate themes. Thefindings highlight that most ECE teachers have positive attitudes towardsteacher-directed classroom management strategies that are consideredeffective in managing inclusive early childhood education classroomsettings. However, they feel that the implementation of these strategies ischallenging because of the presence of students with disabilities in theirclasses. This study provides a base for further research and, eventually,interventions.
