A sample of 240 prospective teacher educators were randomly selected from two universities conducting regular 2-Year M.Ed. course under Semester system. They were administered a scale called ‘Attitude Scale towards Research (ASTR SVSY)’ (Sood and Sharma ,2012). Data collected was analysed using SPSS 22.0 to find out the level of attitude of the sample and also whether any significant difference exists in Attitude towards Educational Research with respect to University, Gender, Semester and Basic Educational Stream. It was found that there was no significant difference in attitude towards Educational Research with respect to University and Gender while notable significant difference was observed among prospective teacher educators belonging to different Semesters and Basic educational streams.
