Abstract
The research aimed at investigating the implementation teaching pedagogies suggested in new ADE/BEd (Hons.) programs in teacher education institutions of Baluchistan. Moreover, it was focused to find out the challenges faced by teacher educators in implementation of these pedagogies. The research was conducted in seven teacher education institution spread across Baluchistan. The data was collected through survey questionnaire from 42 teacher educators, classroom observation of seven general science teacher educators and semi-structured interviews from seven teacher educators. The data from three instruments helped in triangulation of findings. The results showed that teacher educators recognize the need of implementing suggested pedagogies. They are engaged in moving towards greater use of student-centered pedagogies but not to the extent as reported in self-reported questionnaire. Despite willingness, teacher educators found it quite challenging to use ICTs and educational equipment effectively. It is also a challenge to determine suitability of a teaching method for a particular content and smooth integration of more than teaching methods during one lesson. Lack of physical, financial and academic resources is also a serious problem facing teacher education institutions in implementing student-centered pedagogies.
