It aims to examine the role of teachers in promoting peace education and establishing support systems for pupils to enable them to cultivate a positive perception of peace education. Keeping in view the existing literature, this research is the first of its kind to explore the role of teachers in promoting peace education in Pakistani pupils. For this purpose, a quantitative research method was employed and data was collected from private high schools in Lahore. The data collection tool was administered to 389 students from the secondary section (Classes 9 and 10) of these schools. The number of responses discarded was eighty (80). They were discarded due to errors in submission forms, such as incomplete forms, checking multiple items instead of one, and overwriting. The remaining 309 responses were considered valid and pupils’ views on "Teachers' Role in Peace Education" (TRPE) and "Pupils' Perception of Peace Education" (PPPE) were explored. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0. Regression analysis revealed a positive relationship between TRPE and PPPE. The findings support the existing literature on teachers' role in promoting peace education and how teachers may help pupils open themselves to peace-building ideas through their pedagogical practices. This research also supports the idea of training teachers to integrate peace education aspects in their pedagogical philosophy and practices.</p> Ashar Johson Khokhar , Harron Gill Copyright (c) 2024 UMT Education Review https://journals.umt.edu.pk/index.php/uer/article/view/5838 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000
