ATTITUDE TOWARD TEACHING OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

 Education of the Physical is one of the most important services which a school can provide and education through the physical is the real basis of all education. To carry out a desirable school programme in physical education, physical education teachers are necessary particularly those who are dedicated and display positive attitude, toward the subject.

This was the basis of this study, “to find out the type of attitude, which students in the three Teacher Training Colleges in Zaria have toward teaching of physical education particularly those in the upper classes of their training colleges. The survey approach was utilised to collect information from the students. From the study, it was found that majority of students, not less than 75 per cent in the study showed positive attitudes, toward teaching physical education because of their positive responses to the questionnaires. Furthermore there were recommendations as to how their positive attitudes could be maintained.
