Abstract

A constructivist approach in teaching is very different from the traditional approach in teaching. It requires the teacher to take upon the role of a guide and a facilitator and encouraging learners to actively participate in the learning process. Attitude of teachers towards this approach will determined the way it will be adopted in classroom teaching and organization.  This study aims to find out the attitude of teachers towards constructivist approach in teaching. For this, a Teachers Attitude Scale towards Constructivist Approach in Teaching (TASCAT) was administered to 524 student teachers. Findings reveal that the participants of the study have an unfavourable attitude towards constructivist approach in teaching and there is no significant difference in the attitude towards constructivist approach with respect to gender.
