| Summary: | This is an experimental study on the effect of study at the Faculty of Education, University of Jordan, on the attitudes of its students towards the teaching profession. The aim was to appraise the attitudes of the first and fourth year students at the College of Education towards teaching in order to evaluate the change in attitudes towards this profession. This study was carried out to know if there were any efforts by the College of Education to improve the attitudes of its students. Also, this study investigated the differences in attitudes as it correlates to academic averages. Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory was given to two groups. The first group consisted of 46 males and females from the first year students at the College of Education while the second group consisted of 31 males and females from the fourth year.
The results of the study showed that fourth year students had a more negative attitude than first year students. Statistical analysis, however, showed no significant difference in the attitudes due to the number of years at the college. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of variance showed no significant differences in attitudes due to academic studying.
In other words. the attitudes of students as measured by Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory did not correlate with the level of achievement. |
