Journal Title: International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Teacher is an effective and dominating factor among the ones contributing to educational improvements. Mainly, the teacher effectiveness depends on the teachers' attitude, characteristics and the classroom phenomena such as environment and climate and organization and management. Various commissions and committees have recommended methods of bringing about qualitative improvements in education. As a result, the teachers are motivated, inspired and endured to develop better curriculum text-books and teaching aids. But all the efforts are meaningless unless teachers are not having the positive attitude towards Educational Technology. Hence, this paper tries to study the attitude of matriculation school teachers towards Educational Technology. The study of Singh (1980) revealed that a majority of teachers had opined that Educational Technology had changed the classroom teaching-learning process to a great extent and had also made an attitudinal change among the pupils. Chaudhary's (1990) study revealed that teachers perceived school television as a good tool for teaching and were fairly satisfied with their job. A study by Katherine (2001) indicated that all the teachers of Bharathidasan University jurisdiction are having positive attitude towards the application of Educational Technology Aids at secondary level. Selvam (2006) reported that female primary teachers have more favourable attitude than male primary teachers towards Educational Technology. The past studies did not focus the matriculation teachers regarding the aspect of their attitude towards Educational Technology. Hence, the present study examined the attitude of matriculation teachers towards Educational Technology.
