Impact of different factors affecting Urdu teaching in Pakistan: A Confirmatory Factor

In Pakistani society, Urdu is widely recognized as the official language of the country as well as one of the widely spoken languages. Urdu is regarded as one of the symbols of national and cultural identity and plays an important role in social life. This study used CFA to examine whether three factors in Urdu teaching (curriculum and teaching materials, teachers and teaching methods, and learning environment) had a significant impact on Urdu teaching. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is a multivariate statistical method designed to verify whether a set of potential factors proposed by researchers can explain the variation in observed variables. CFA was used in this study to build a three-factor model that includes three factors: curriculum and teaching materials, teachers and teaching methods, and learning environment. The study will use sample data to perform parameter estimates of the model and use model fit metrics (fit index and standardized residuals) to assess how well the model fits.
