Keywords:
Normality, Teaching Aptitude, High School TeachersAbstract
A study is being conducted to determine the normality of high school teachers' teaching aptitude in the Tamilnadu districts of Salem and Namakkal. Two hundred and fifty teachers were randomly chosen from thirty six Community Developmental (CD) educational blocks for a brief survey. Battery of Teaching Aptitude Test, standardized by Shamim Karim & Ashok Kumar Dixit (1986) has been employed to assess teaching aptitude. The data were subjected to descriptive analysis in order to determine the normality of the high school teachers' teaching aptitude scores. The results demonstrated that high school teachers' normal distribution scores deviated slightly from normality. The sample's general teaching aptitude was average in character, and 60.80% of teachers scoring lies within the Mean±1σ boundary limit of the normal probability curve. 22.0 percent of high school teachers have a low level of teaching aptitude in the range of less than Mean-1σ range limit. According to the Mean+1σ mentioned range limitations, 17.20% of school teachers have excellent teaching aptitude. The pre-service teacher education training programmes for prospective student teachers are strengthened with training strategies to promote and enhance required teaching aptitude.
