As a new teacher, "My plan is to teach and practice procedures from day one and to also start building relationships with good attitude and my kids from the beginning. As I get to know my kids I might have to make adjustments to my original plan" to find more success in time management in the learning environment.
An attitude is a mindset that affects how a person thinks and acts. Attitude can influence a person’s performance positively or negatively. For instance, negative attitude towards one’s job will result in negative performance. Similarly, attitude could also affect how well a teacher plans and prepares for his/her lessons. The attitude of a teacher, consciously or unconsciously, greatly affects students’ academic performance. It has been established that teachers’ attitudes highly influence students' interest in learning. Moreover, personality traits of the teachers are more powerful and influential than the course content or instructional strategies used in the classroom. A good classroom strategy requires full interest and support from teachers and learners. If a teacher appears not interested or careful about a particular subject or student, he/she will be unable to foster a supportive learning environment. In addition to that, teachers with negative attitudes may not be as approachable to students as teachers who are positively motivated. So, students find it difficult asking such a teacher questions on the grey areas of the subject he/she teaches. This implies that teachers’ attitude towards their students and teaching in general is very important for students’ success. In the same vein, teachers need to be highly interested in the subjects and topics they teach. For instance , a Christian teacher who teaches Islamic Studies can never be interested in the subject because the subject is only being taught to earn his/her livelihood. This will in turn take a toll on the students that are to be taught.
Social studies, as one of the core subjects in junior secondary schools, is facing attitudinal challenge in the society which take toll on teaching and learning effectiveness of the subject. The challenge is not only from the subject teachers and the students, but also from the parents of the students concerned. To proffer solutions to this problem, this study was conducted to investigate teachers’ attitudes towards teaching social studies in secondary schools.
