Abstract
Perceptions of teachers regarding the marks’ reduction of practical/laboratory work at the secondary school level were designed to achieve the objectives of exploring the perceptions of teachers regarding the marks’ reduction of practical/laboratory work at the secondary school level and to investigate the influence of marks’ reduction on students learning at secondary school level. The study was descriptive in nature, in which the current status of the subject was studied. All the female teachers in government girls’ high schools of district Swabi comprise the population of the study. Twenty female secondary school teachers were purposefully selected from the population. A closed-ended questionnaire for teachers was developed on a 3-point scale. The percentage was used as a statistical tool for the analysis of collected data. Based on findings, it was concluded that most teachers believed practical/lab work has much importance in science subjects. Respondents agreed that it is the only way to demonstrate the anatomy of different organisms and plants. Reduced marks may affect students’ grades in SSC examinations. Students also take less interest due to reduced marks in practical work. Less lab work affects teachers' own talent. Less lab work also wastes precious lab material. Most of the teachers were in favor of increasing practical marks to 25.
