Abstract
Science Education has been recognized as a pre-requisite for scientific and technological advancement across the globe. Science has attained a significant role in different aspects of human life. Science has revolutionized our way of living. It is now essential for everyone not only to understand science but also to manage day-to-day affairs. It provides opportunities for students to acquire relevant functional knowledge and skills that are associated with scientific thinking. Science education is concerned with finding solutions to problems in a bid to understand and interpret natural phenomena. Teachers’ knowledge of subject matter, skills of questioning, formulation of learning objectives, selection of teaching methods, effective planning of experiments and classroom management play a significant role in quality improvement of teaching Physical Science. The present study is an attempt to explore the attitude of secondary school teachers towards quality improvement in teaching Physical Science. The researchers used a well prepared and standardized questionnaire as the tool for collection of data from a sample of 100 teachers (100 School Assistants in Physical Science) selected from 100 secondary schools located in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Parvathipuram Manyam Districts of Andhra Pradesh using Stratified Random Sampling technique. Mean score values, Standard Deviations, independent t-tests and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used for analysis of data. The findings of the study revealed that the demographic variables –Gender, Location of the institution and Type of School management have no influence on the attitude of teachers towards quality improvement in teaching Physical Science. However, designation and teaching experience have significant positive influence on their attitude towards quality improvement in teaching Physical Science.
