The purpose of the study was to improve the professional performance of teachers by measuring the factors affecting the performance of teachers at higher level. The study was descriptive in nature. All the principals, teachers and students of degree and postgraduate colleges of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa constituted the population of study. Fifty selected colleges constituted the sample. One principal, two teachers and five students were included in the sample from each college. Thus the sample was 400 individuals i.e. 50 principals, 100 teachers and 250 students. Three questionnaires were prepared separately for principals, teachers and students. The data obtained was tabulated, analyzed and interpreted by using statistical techniques as mean, standard deviation average rating and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The factor of subject mastery was perceived by the principals, teachers themselves and students to be at the highest level among the four factors of teachers’ professional performance. The factor of attitude toward students was viewed to be at the lowest level. Among the four factors of teachers’ professional performance teaching methodology and teachers’ personal characteristics were factors considered to be present in teachers’ performance at intermediary levels. Though, the factor of subject mastery of teachers’ professional performance was found on the highest level in the present study, yet teachers should continue their attention and improve their command on the content through self study and by attending in service refresher courses.
