Abstract

Aim/objectives: The aim of this research is, to examine the factors of training design that influence transfer of teachers training to the classrooms, in education sector of Pakistan where education sector is in the state of crisis. Methods/Statistical Analysis: For this research, primary data had been collected with the help of questionnaire; a sample of 500 trainee teachers was selected from public sector schools of Hyderabad Pakistan who attended the teachers training programs. Two variables of training design i.e. content validity and transfer design were analyzed using various statistical techniques like factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation and multiple regression. Statistical software SPSS ver.22 was used for this purpose. Findings : The transfer design found to be the strongest factor effecting transfer of training with beta value 0.558 followed by perceived content validity with beta value 0.127, both variables were found to have positive and significant impact on transfer of training. These two independent variables explained 41% variance in regression model. Findings of this research revealed that the training design plays a vital role in training and may predict the training transfer significantly. Originality and novelty: Primary data has been collected for this research. The findings of this research will fill the gap in the literature of training transfer in the education sector. Application: Outcomes of this study will pave way to the facilitation of the authorities of education sector as to, how teachers' training should be made useful by improving the components of training design.
