This study investigated the impact of teacher’s subject matter knowledge
and their behavior on the student’s performance. Qualified and well behaved teachers
help to boost learner’s confidence and involvement in learning activities. In Pakistan,
the quality of school level education is continuously deteriorating. It may be because
of the reason that most of the private schools, due to their financial constraints, hire
less qualified and untrained teachers. The data was collected through a 5 points Likert scale questionnaire. Responses were obtained from the students of secondary and
matric classes of three different schools. Data was analyzed using various statistical
techniques, (factor analysis, regression analysis, mean comparison). The analysis of
data revealed a significant relation between the student performance, teacher subject
matter knowledge and teacher’s behavior. Besides this, it was found that the achievement level of students of high income area is better than that of low income area.
Furthermore, the subject matter knowledge and behavior of the teachers of high income
area schools were found to be better than those of low income area. This study suggests
that the subject matter knowledge and behavior of the teachers should be given prime
consideration while hiring them. In-service teachers’ training programs must also be
held to keep teachers updated in the subject. Personality development and motivational
trainings should also be held to help teachers in improving their behavior. Besides this
the perks and privileges should also be raised for the teachers to attract knowledgeable
and well behaved people to the teaching profession.
