The purpose of this study was to conduct a needs assessment to identify and prioritize inservice needs of primary school teachers in the Hyderabad Region of Pakistan, as perceived by the teachers and their supervisors. A second step in the study was the design of a process for delivery of inservice education compatible with the educational structure of the Region. This process was based upon the review of literature, as well as researcher's work experience in the Region. Research questions regarding differences in perceptions of inservice needs between teachers and supervisors and among teachers with varying years of teaching experience and different academic qualifications, were also investigated. / A survey was conducted utilizing a needs assessment instrument developed by Gary M. Ingersoll, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, which was modified and translated into two languages (Sindhi and Urdu) used in the Region. The sample for the study consisted of 400 teachers and 50 supervisors. Results of a descriptive analysis of the data collected indicated that, regardless of qualifications or experience, teachers and supervisors perceived a great need for inservice education in all areas of inservice education included in the needs assessment instrument. This study concluded that there was a great desire on the part of teachers to have well planned and well defined programs of inservice education to meet their professional needs. Drawing upon information from the review of literature and the teacher center concept, a delivery system for providing such programs was suggested. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-06, Section: A, page: 2377. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
