Experts' Views Regarding Vertical and Horizontal Alignment of Pakistan Studies Curriculum from Intermediate to Master Level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
The study aims to explore the vertical and horizontal alignment of the Pakistan Studies curriculum from Intermediate to Master's level in different institutes of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Interviews,consisting of open-ended questions, were conducted to collect information from Subject Specialists and experts besides members of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Textbook Board. The analytic approach was used for the analysis of qualitative data. The data was coded into predetermined categories related to the objectives. A summary of the statements was prepared that was composed of the main ideas of the respondents. The study found that vertical and horizontal alignment in the process of Pakistan Studies' curriculum development is missing. It was also found that the objectives of the curriculum are not properly defined. Due to the lack of those objectives, we cannot develop proper assessment tools, so proper weightage should be given to this discipline.
