Students' and Faculty Members' Attitudes Toward Science at Urban and Rural Colleges and Universities

Mohammad Asif Pasha

Abstract


Identifying and cultivating a favourable attitude toward science among student instructors is critical. Instructors, student teachers, and students at all levels of education should be encouraged to have a positive attitude toward science. Currently, this is an urgent need. This study examines the attitudes of student instructors toward science in relation to their college's location. Students in Hyderabad's Revenue district are included in the study's sample of 1080. Data was collected from the student instructors using a questionnaire on their attitudes toward science. We used percentage analysis, as well as mean, standard deviation, and 't' tests, to analyse the data. The results show that attitudes towards science among student teachers in urban and rural settings are not significantly different.
