Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

The importance of teacher attitudes and their influence on teacher behaviour and the learning process has been recognised by a number of teacher educators and educational researchers (Breen 1991, Burns 1990, Clark & Yingcr 1979,Garcia & Reynolds 1977, Dunkin & Biddle 1974, Gayle 1979, Grotjahn1991, Guthrie 1984, Nunan 1990, Shavelson & Stern 1981, Wright 1990). Teachers' attitudes play an important role in curriculum innovations in the success or failure of innovation projects. Hence, investigating teachers' attitudes towards the philosophy of the innovation, help the researcher to understand the difficulties teachers face in implementing curriculum innovations (Dingwall 1985)
