PERCEPTION OF THE TEACHERS OF ARTS FACULTY, UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS IN TEACHING: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

ABSTRACT The present study was designed to see the differences in the perceived class environment and personal growth of College and University young male adults. The classroom Environment Scale developed by Trickett and Moos (I995) and 10 Adjective Checklist (Gough and Reilburn 1980) were administered on a sample of 58 male college students, and 62 young male University adults, belonging to middle class families. The t-tests indicated significant differences on 10 Adjective checklist, i.e. University adults have a better perception about teachers as compared to College boys. On the class room Environment Scale the differences between College and University Young Adults were significant on all sub-scales except on the Affiliation Sub-Scale. From a comparative perspective, it is clear that the University environment including positive relations with teachers has, more influence on a student's personal growth as compared to the College setting.
