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
