Abstract
This research aimed at investigating the assessment procedures for evaluating the
prospective teachers' abilities, developed through the new B.Ed. (Hons.)/ADE
curriculum in teacher education institutions of Baluchistan, this research study will also
highlights the emerging problems in the use of new modern assessment procedures. The
research was conducted in seven Teacher Training institutions of Baluchistan. The data
was collected through the survey questionnaire, based on a pilot project, from the seven
Heads of the institutions and the nine Teacher Educators/school (N#70), involved in
teaching different courses of B.Ed. (Hones.)/ADE at different semesters. Focus group
discussion with head and nine teacher educators/institution was also conducted. The
quantitative and qualitative data from two instruments helped in-depth understanding of
the assessment procedure and the emerging problems. The results showed that teacher
educators are trying to implement the new competency-based curriculum and are
engaged in using interactive and innovative teaching pedagogies suggested in the new
curriculum of B.Ed.(Hons.) / ADE program. But they feel difficulty to assess the content
knowledge and skills developed among the prospective teachers through this new
curriculum. Teacher educators feel difficulty in the use of modern assessment
procedures. They are still focusing the paper-pencil test. Teachers lack competencies to
assess students’ actual strengths and learning needs, they don’t, know how to measure
cognitive, affective and psychomotor objectives. Teacher educators also face problems
to make judgments on students’ learning through formative assessment.
