This study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the gaps between the proposed curriculum objectives and the assessment instruments used for evaluation of revised teacher training programs in the universities as well as their affiliated colleges in the Punjab province. Specifically it seeks to examine the alignment between the proposed curriculum objectives and the content and cognitive traits being assessed by mid-term and final-term examinations. Bloom’s taxonomy was taken as standard for comparison in evaluation of assessment tools and intended learning outcomes of each unit of the selected sample courses. For the purpose of data collection, all the cities where the institutions (Universities and affiliated colleges) are located were visited. The final and mid-term assessment papers and the respective course guides of the selected sample courses were collected and analyzed with the help of Bloom’s Taxonomy, and then a comparison was being made between both types of documents. The document analysis presented a lack of alignment between the proposed curriculum objectives and the content and cognitive traits being assessed through formal assessment practices of revised teacher training programs.
