    Abstract:

    The variables under the present study i.e. attitude and work commitment of the teachers towards

    the teaching profession are very important in the field of education. These two variables are like

    an engine driver for the vehicle education. They directly affect the classroom processes. How

    best the teacher is going to serve the students will depend on the attitude of the teachers towards

    the teaching profession. Whether they will leave lasting impression on the minds of the students

    depend on the attitude and work commitment of teachers towards the teaching profession. The

    variable attitude and work commitment is not static but dynamic. So various factors affect

    teachers attitude and work commitment of the teachers towards their teaching professions. With

    so many reforms in the education system we are unable to achieve the national goals and

    objectives. The present study is striving to analyze the different factors like pay scale,

    qualification, experience or gender and how they are making any kind of impact on the attitude

    and work commitment of the teachers towards their teaching profession.

    The main objectives of the present study are:

    1. To study the attitude of teachers working in aided and unaided schools with reference to

    personal variables.

    2. To study the work commitment of teachers working in aided and unaided schools with

    reference to personal variables.

    3. To compare the attitude of teachers working in aided and unaided schools with reference

    to personal variables.

    4. To compare the work commitment of teachers working in aided and unaided schools with

    reference to personal variables.

    The following hypotheses were formulated for the study:

    1. There is no significant difference in the attitudes of teachers working in aided and

    unaided schools with reference to personal variables

    a. Gender, b. experience, c. academic qualification and d. pay scale.

    2. There is no significant difference in the work commitment of teachers working in aided

    and unaided schools with reference to personal variables

    a. Gender, b. experience, c. academic qualification and d. pay scale.

    3. There is no significant difference in the attitudes of teachers teaching in different levels

    of education

    a. Primary, b. secondary c. higher secondary.

    4. There is no significant difference in the work commitment of teachers teaching in

    different levels of education

    a. Primary, b. secondary c. higher secondary

    The strategy of research adopted for the study was descriptive survey. The readymade tool was

    adapted for the study: Teacher Attitude Inventory by S.P. Ahluwalia (1974) and Work

    Commitment Inventory (Teacher Commitment Scale) by Dr. (Mrs) Indira Shukla (1999). Both

    qualitative and quantitative techniques were used in analyzing data. The major hypotheses were

    tested through t test (for two groups) and F test for more than two groups. Initially the Stratified

    random sampling technique was used. But since the sample was large and it was done to achieve

    some objectives, purposive sampling technique was used.

    THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

    INTRODUCTION:

    The Indian tradition accords the highest place of respect and status to the guru who is the

    remover of darkness, enlightens the individual and society and is considered to have wisdom

    coupled with spirituality. He is capable of leading humanity to divinity. The tradition of teachers

    of India and the indigenous education system of this country generated, created and disseminated

    knowledge and wisdom much ahead of others.

    The Indian concept of Guru and Gurukul receives admiration from even those who are not fully

    familiar and aware of its philosophies, practices and significance. The transition from the guru to

    the teacher is an indicator of the change. Teachers are prime agents of the change.

    There are several aspects of critical concern in the context of teacher and teacher education in

    India. Inevitable expansion and growth of school education system has enhanced the number of

    schools, institutions, teachers, teacher educators and other functionaries. As it invariably

    happens, large scale expansion often leads to dilution in quality when necessary precautions are

    not in built in the process of growth. Needless to say quality of teacher preparation, teaching and

    professionalism in teacher education have caused concern in the past couple of decades.

    The term quality is in itself a great virtue, the presence of which a person makes him a model for

    the whole community, the spark of it in a object makes it no less than a diamond and the essence

    of the virtuous term in work gives life to it. If this virtue is attached to the work of the teacher,

    then it signifies a great responsibility borne upon the shoulders of those who are nation builders,

    the architects of destiny, occupying the place just next to the Almighty.

    It is firm belief of all that present hour demands quality teachers if the country has to compete

    with the best in the world. A teacher has been worshipped and respected throughout human

    history because of his/her noble mission. Good education requires good teachers.

    Professionalism in teacher education refers to commitment to excellence. Teachers are thus the

    greatest assets of any education system. They stand in the interface of the transmission of

    knowledge, skills and values. They are accepted as the backbone of education system. Teachers

    quality is therefore crucial and has been globally accepted to be significantly associated with the

    quality of education in general and students learning outcomes in particular. The Education

    commission (1964-66) of India accepted this influence of teachers in powerful words by

    proclaiming that No system can rise above the status of its teacher

    Teachers are said to be the builders of nation. It is with this view that the Secondary Education

    Commission considered teacher as the most important factor in the contemplated national

    reconstruction. A teacher through an interactive process shapes the personality of the students

    and attempts to make them citizens. Thus he shares the responsibility of shaping the destiny of

    our country. A positive favorable attitude makes the work not only easier but also more

    satisfying and professionally rewarding. A negative unfavorable attitude makes the teaching task

    harder, more tedious and unpleasant. In addition a teachers attitude not only affects his behavior

    in the classroom but also influences the behavior of his student. Effective teaching results from a

    teachers skill at creating both intellectual excitement and positive rapport in students, the kind

    of emotions and relationships that motivate them to do their best work. Moreover effective and

    productive learning on the part of the pupils can be achieved by employing teachers with

    desirable attitudes by shaping their attitudes in the desired direction. As teachers have not only

    the capacity but also the cherished desire to enhance our professional competence. No

    conference, seminar, memorial lecture or advice could serve any useful purpose when motivation

    to learn and improve on the part of teachers is lacking.

    The Indian Education Commission (1966) described teacher as one of the most important

    factors contributing to the national development. He is the pivot around which all the educational

    programs such as curriculum, syllabus, textbooks evaluation etc rotate. The best system of

    education may fail to achieve the desired ends in the absence of sincere, competent and

    professionally aware teachers. National Policy on Education (1986) rightly stated, No people

    can rise above the levels of its teachers. As a person imbibes, interprets and disseminates the

    relevant items of culture and traditions of the past, he creates new knowledge, promotes

    innovations, critically appraises the past and its traditions and cultures sifts the grain from the

    chaffe and strengthens social and economic fabrics of the nation. Education is basically the

    influence which the teacher exerts on the students entrusted to his care. Effective teachers are

    required in the classroom because even the best curriculum and most perfect syllabus remain

    ineffective in the absence of a good teacher.

    Out of the several main basic characteristics of a profession, it is the deep commitment to the

    profession in terms of both service to the community and contributing to the development of the

    country which gives importance to teaching as a profession the required edge in comparison to

    other professions. Development of the country requires a high rate of production and fullest

    possible utilization of both human as well as material resources. Nowadays, there is however a

    general feeling that the teachers do not have proper attitude and commitment in their job. There

    seems to be growing discontent towards their job as a result of which standards of education are

    falling.

    8/23

    Teachers are dissatisfied in spite of different plans and programs, which have been implemented

    to improve their job. Higher academic and professional qualification of the teachers no doubt can

    raise the standard of education as well as of nation, but dissatisfied teachers in spite of having a

    good and sound academic career and professional training, will do much harm than good because

    they will neither work wholeheartedly nor will they try to contribute anything to education.

    The quality of the teacher, his general and professional education, knowledge and interest,

    personality, character and attitude towards work and pupils are highly significant in the total

    educational situation. A teacher is an individual who knows how to deal different situations in a

    professional manner; competence comes in the way how the teacher handles his roles both in the

    classroom and outside the classroom. Teachers must glow in their profession. They should

    never glow out and become burn outs. Teachers are to awaken the lives of others and work as

    supermen. Teachers have to be highly motivated, -self initiated, self generated, hard working

    and committed.

    It is sometimes presumed that success of a teacher depends in part on the ability of the teacher to

    get along with the pupils in interpersonal relationships. There is also another assumption that a

    successful teacher is the one who is to some extent satisfied with teaching as a profession.

    Teaching profession demands a clear set of goals, love for profession, good interpersonal and

    intrapersonal skills and obviously a favorable attitude towards the profession. As teachers they

    will be required not only to acquire proficiency in planning of the lessons and delivery but also

    must have good

    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

    INTRODUCTION:

    Review of the related literature, besides allowing the researcher to acquaint himself with current

    knowledge in the field or area in which he is going to conduct his research, serves the following

    purposes:

    1. The review of related literature enables the researcher to define the limits of his field. It

    helps the researcher to delimit and define his problem. The knowledge of related

    literature brings the researcher upto date on the work which others have done and thus to

    state the objectives clearly and concisely.

    2. By reviewing the related literature the researcher can avoid unfruitful and useless

    problem areas. He can select those areas in which positive findings are very likely to

    result and his endeavors would be likely to add to the knowledge in a meaningful way.

    3. Through the review of related literature, the researcher can avoid unintentional

    duplication of well established findings. It is no use to replicate a study when the stability

    and validity of its results have been clearly established.

    4. The review of related literature gives the researcher an understanding of the research

    methodology which refers to the way the study is to be conducted. It helps the researcher

    to know about the tools and instruments which proved to be useful and promising in the

    previous studies. The advantage of the related literature is also to provide insight into the

    statistical methods through which validity of results is to be established.

    5. The final and important specific reason for reviewing the related literature is to know

    about the recommendations of previous researchers listed in their studies for further

    research.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    RESEARCH DESIGN:

    A research design is a plan, structure and strategy of investigation so conceived as to obtain

    answers to research questions or problems. The plan is the complete scheme or program of the

    research.

    A traditional research design is a blueprint or detailed plan for how a research study is to be

    completed-operationalizing variables so they can be measured, selecting a sample of interest to

    study, collecting data to be used as a basis for testing hypotheses, and analyzing the

    results

    A research design is a procedural plan that is adopted by the researcher to answer questions

    validly, objectively, accurately and economically. According to Selltiz, Deutsch and Cook, A

    research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner

    that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure (1962:50).

    Through a research design you decide for yourself and communicate to others your decisions

    regarding what study design you propose to use, how you are going to collect information from

    your respondents, how the information you are going to collect is to be analyzed and how you

    are going to communicate your findings.

    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

    The researcher has come up with the following problem which has to be investigated further. The

    present study is undertaken to explore the intensity of attitude and work commitment among

    teachers towards teaching profession at different levels of education i.e. primary, secondary and

    higher secondary with regard to academic variables such as qualifications, experience, gender

    and pay scale. Hence the title of the problem is

    SCOPE, LIMITATION AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

    1. In order to be specific and precise and to avoid unnecessary conclusions and inferences, it

    becomes important to define the scope of the study. The focus of the present study is the

    attitude and work commitment of teachers at different levels of education in the schools

    2. The study focused on the work commitment and attitude of the teachers towards teaching

    profession in the various levels of education i.e the primary, secondary and higher

    secondary in which the assessment indicators of commitment includes the organizational

    commitment, commitment towards school, commitment towards teaching work,

    commitment towards teaching occupation and work group (Colleagues) with reference to

    personal variables such as gender, experience, qualification and pay scale. It was

    delimited to affective, continuance and normative commitment.

    3. Since the researchers have done studies related to various levels of education at the

    higher level, it is found that the studies at the school level with reference to various levels

    of education at the school have not been done.

    4. Due to time constraints, the study was limited only to English medium schools and

    vernacular medium schools were excluded from this study.

    5. Also there are many variables which act as determinant for attitude and work

    commitment of teachers such as school climate, personality, motivating factors,

    institutional facilities, role conflict and mental health which influence the teachers in their

    day to day teaching, but the researcher has limited the study only to the personal variables

    like gender, qualification, experience and pay scale.

    6. Also there are teachers teaching at all levels of education but the research is limited only

    to the primary, secondary and higher secondary teachers.
