Attitude towards Teaching Profession in Pakistan: A Case of Public Sector Secondary School Teachers

Abstract

The study aimed to explore the teachers’ attitude toward teaching profession at secondary school level. The sample comprised of 736 (428 male and 308 female) Secondary School Teachers (SSTs) selected from administrative division of Sahiwal, Pakistan. Attitude Scale towards Teaching Profession (ASTTP) developed by Dr. Malswami (2015) was adapted from the kind permission of author. ASTTP was comprised of 36 closed-ended statements. Means and standard deviations were computed to explore the attitude toward teaching profession. T-test and one-way ANOVA were applied to calculate the difference in attitude of teachers on the basis of gender, groups (science & arts), and their teaching experience. Results showed that the attitude of secondary school teachers was positive toward teaching profession. While, male SSTs showed a better attitude than female. It was found that in terms of group, arts teachers showed higher positive attitude toward the teaching profession in comparison to science teachers. Furthermore, it was concluded that SSTs having teaching experience of 0-5 years and 16 years have more favorable positive attitude toward teaching profession than other groups
