“…Furthermore, the findings of the current study revealed that knowledge recognition (β= 0.732), assimilation (β= 0.859), transformation (β= 0.567), and exploitation (β= 1.017) are positive significant predictors of the job performance of teaching faculty in higher education institutes in COVID-19 pandemic at P-value= 0.000. These results are consistent with past studies (Arubayi & Obunadike, 2011;Tsai, 2022) that evaluated the impact of absorptive capacity on the job as well as organization performance at individual and organizational levels. Past studies have been conducted among different industries, and their findings also significantly predict the performance outcome.…”

Employee job performance is a critical topic of interest and concern for the organization. In order to evaluate the factors that may impact employee job performance in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, this study aims to explore the impact of absorptive capacity for e-Learning on the job performance of teaching faculty. Additionally, the study explored how organizational culture may act as a mediator. The COVID-19 pandemic calls for a transformation in the educational system from the physical to the virtual, which requires teaching faculty to increase their E-learning proficiency. It was necessary to assess each faculty member's effort in this situation. An analytical cross-sectional study design was used to collect data from the teaching faculty of higher education institutions in Karachi, Pakistan. The sample size was 377. Data was collected through reliable and valid self-administered tools. SPSS 23.0 and the PROCESS macro were used to conduct data analysis. Empirical findings from the study demonstrate the significant positive effect of knowledge recognition, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation on job performance. Furthermore, organizational culture significantly mediates the effect of knowledge recognition, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation on job performance. The findings have important implications for managers and policymakers besides employees in creating opportunities for their employees to develop high absorptive capacity and recommend managers to create an appreciative climate within their organizations, which may influence job performance.

“…Pedagogical components include classroom management, teaching methods, classroom assessment and structuring learning objectives and learning process, lesson planning, and evaluation (Sonmark, 2017).

Has been noted that a crucial element of all the components needed to improve the caliber of instructors' professional development to improve their pedagogical knowledge and content and raise the overall quality of educational service delivery; teachers must acquire new concepts, ideas, and knowledge before entering the classroom (Muyunda, 2023).…”

“…Reports from the ECOS (2014; about the coursework (practicals) reveal that some centers could not produce work of high standard; it was either work of mediocre or low standards. Arubayi and Obunadike (2011) argue that if teachers are weak in content knowledge and pedagogical competence, essential for effective learning, students' achievements will also be low. There needs to be more literature on pedagogical knowledge teaching Fashion and Fabrics practicals in Eswatini.…”

Fashion and Fabrics is a discipline that involves practical and theoretical skills, and to achieve better results, teachers need to possess pedagogical knowledge for teaching practicals as well. This study aimed to establish the teachers' pedagogical knowledge for teaching Fashion and Fabrics practical skills in Eswatini High Schools. This qualitative study utilized a descriptive research design to get in-depth information. A sample of 16 Fashion and fabric teachers was purposively selected, with eight being interviewed, while the others were observed during their practical lessons. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study results show that Fashion and Fabrics teachers need to gain pedagogical knowledge in teaching Fashion and Fabrics practical skills. They must prepare for valuable lessons, as evidenced by a need for proper student-sitting arrangements. Teachers were found not to use visual aids and supervise students' work for corrective feedback when necessary. The study concludes that Fashion and fabric teachers need to be stronger in content knowledge and pedagogical competencies, essential for effective learning; hence, students' achievements could have been higher. The study recommends that the training institutions stress peer teaching of Fashion and Fabrics practicals for more practice.
