It is fortunate or unfortunate that PhDs are working as school teachers at different levels. It may be predicted that many PhD degree holders will be ready to join the School Education Department in near future while many graduates are completing their PhDs. The present study purports to explore expectations of PhDs working as school teachers and investigating the challenges they face while teaching in various schools of Punjab, Pakistan. Participants’ lived experiences of working in school were examined through the phenomenological approach of qualitative research. For this purpose, eleven PhDs were approached through a snowball sampling to gather data employing interviews on the phenomenon. The results emerged in the form of themes and sub-themes that include relationships with the school comminates, PhD teachers’ expectations (sub-themes: expectations from students and colleagues, expectations from education authorities, and expectations for professional development), and challenging school environment. The study implies the recognition of PhDs working as school teachers, their professional satisfaction and service structure and their appropriate placement in the education system.

Study Results

Working in a school after attaining one of the highest research degrees is uncommon in academia. Nevertheless, this is an emerging phenomenon due to an increased number of PhDs in Pakistan. Yet, many PhDs are unemployed. On the other hand, a school is a place that requires content expert and pedagogically skilled teachers. In the present study, the researchers attempted to address the central questions of the study; how is it like to work in schools after completing PhD and how do PhDs experience being the most qualified persons teaching in schools? A phenomenological approach was employed to uncover participants lived experiences of working in schools. Thirteen PhDs were approached through snowball sampling who were teaching in schools. The data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews at different schools that were analyzed using phenomenological analysis. As a result, three main themes and two sub-themes emerged from the interview transcripts. The themes included working in schools, joining the school after PhD (sub-themes; teaching and managing classroom, assessing and interaction with students) and working with non-PhDs. The study results have implications for PhDs working in schools, other school teachers and heads of the school, and the school education department.

The purpose of this qualitative study concerned developing an inductive and comprehensive understanding of the lived experiences of Malaysian homeowners and tenants of affordable housing. This was with respect to the variegated nature of the relationship between housing affordability and property values in the Malaysian housing market, the phenomenon under consideration. A descriptive phenomenological approach, involving both purposive and snowball sampling, was used to achieve the goal of this study: describing the relevant lived experiences in connection with the housing affordability issue in question. Through in-depth interviews, research participants described the experiences that stood out for them, in response to pre-prepared stimulus questions. Verbatim transcriptions of interviews were used as the primary source of data. However, triangulation was achieved through the use of interviews, corroborating field notes and reflective journals. Phenomenological analysis revealed ten emergent themes, namely financing, availability, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, motives, property values, quality of life, stigma, quality of affordable housing and fairness. One clear implication arising from the findings was that if the Malaysian Government is seen to be doing more in an equitable fashion, this might lead to more positive perceptions in general of the issue of housing affordability. Another clear implication stemming from the findings was that the issue of housing affordability vis-à-vis property values, viewed at from a phenomenological perspective, is clearly a structural problem. Such contentions tend to significantly increase the desirability of the relevant decision-makers employing suitably multi-layered, multi-agency, systems thinking. In terms of practical measures, two key preliminary measures and one fundamental recommendation were made, pinpointing the desirability of improvements in property financing and increased perceptions of fairness.

The use of media, as a precondition for the development and modernisation of a school environment in all its segments is significantly conditioned by the attitudes of teachers, their media competencies and their personal attitudes towards the media resources which can be used for educational purposes. The main aim of the research is to examine the use of media in a school environment depending on teachers´ years of experience. The results of the research show that there are statistically significant differences in the attitudes of teachers towards the type of media, the frequency of use, the ICT competencies of teachers and years of service in education. On the basis of the obtained data we recommend a systemic approach to the problem of a professional development of already employed teachers, especially of those with more years of work experience, and all for the purposes of raising the level of ICT competencies. Keywords: School; Teachers, The media; Work experience
