A Sample consisted 400 teachers taken in to two groups (N=200), one group consisted of 200 in–service teachers from various government and government aided schools of Khanna and Mandi Gobindgarh of Punjab state and the second group consisted of the same number of pupil teachers from education colleges of Khanna and Mandi Gobindgarh. Incidental non–random sampling techniques were employed for the selection of the sample. Teacher Attitude inventory developed by Ahluwalia (1976) was used.
