Abstract
Continuous reform process is inevitable to overcome challenges of the increasingly knowledge based economy of any country of the world (UNESCO, 2005 and Cheng, Chaw, & Mok. 2007). Successful implementation of this reform process is subjected to favorable attitude of the teachers- the real change agents (Hattie, 2015: OECD, 2005: Ambani & Birla, 2000). Keeping this in view, this paper was derived from the study in which teachers’ attitude towards reform process at school level in Punjab was analyzed. For this purpose, from total population, seventy two schools having equal number of gender, demographic and category were selected through stratified cluster sampling technique. Being a descriptive study, survey method technique was applied. A questionnaire as an adaptation of ASTTP (Hussain, 2004) based on the five-point Likert scale comprising a demographic information sheet and 63 statements divided into five dimensions was developed. The tool was got validated by determining the Cronbatch Alpha, Factor Loading and through experts’ opinions. To analyze the data, percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviation were calculated and t- test was applied. From results of this study, it was inferred that overall the respondents showed positive attitude towards all dimensions. Females showed more enthusiastic attitude towards all dimensions than males except computer education. Qualification wise analysis showed that irrespective of the gender, degree of qualification and positive attitude are directly proportional. Comparison between levels of the schools showed that secondary school teachers had better favorable attitude than elementary teachers.
