Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the competencies of teachers in Art and Design Transnational Higher Education Institutes (TNE) in Pakistan. The study focuses on the skills and abilities that are expected or desired in educators of these programs, including knowledge of the subject matter, pedagogical skills, intercultural competency, technology skills, collaborative skills, and commitment to professional development. For this study, interviews are conducted with teachers. The study does not include students or program administrators, as they are part of a separate study. The purpose is to gain insight into the state of teacher competencies in Art and Design TNE programs in Pakistan and identify any areas that require improvement or show gaps. Data is collected from sources such as interviews with teachers, analyzed to discover patterns and trends. Before the emergence of concepts in art and design education, there were art schools that provided instruction on traditional crafts along with insights into the art industry. However, a new era in art education began when unknown ideas, under labels emerged (Muhammed et al., 2021). To truly grasp the changing perspectives on art education, we must delve into the curriculum at the university level as well as the communal and economic roles of art education. The insights from this study could be utilized to shape teacher training programs or other initiatives that bolster the growth of Art and Design educators in Pakistan. Ultimately, the objective of this study is to enhance the caliber of Art and Design programs in Pakistan by ensuring that teachers possess the knowledge, skills, and capabilities to effectively guide and empower their students.
