Abstract

Professional attitude is the feelings of an individual, behaviors and commitment to the profession. If the teacher is committed and has positive attitude then it is sure that his performance will be better and his effort will be fruitful. In this article we have measured the professional attitude of prospective teachers in relation to their gender, category, religion, locale, subject stream and academic qualification. The attitude scale for teaching was constructed and standardized by the Investigators following the standard procedure. The results shows that prospective teachers’ attitude towards teaching profession did not different significantly with the variables like gender, religion, category, locale and stream of study. However, significant difference occurs in case of academic qualification.
