Students' Understanding the Attitude of Teachers in Mathematics Teaching

    This research was designed to examine the attitude of secondary mathematics teachers in the district of Mianwali. The study design consisted of 10 males and ten female secondary schools each. The general number of respondents is four hundred, of which 200 were female students. The sampling cluster and simple random sampling techniques have been used for the selection of schools and students, respectively. A questionnaire of 34-items is organized on five Likert Scale points to seek answers from the students. Percentage and mean were used to calculate the perceptions of each male and female science student. The results showed a constructive attitude towards mathematics teaching to both males and females.
