Abstract

All academic disciplines include research, and students in research programmes should have a solid understanding about basic research principles. Owing to generate perfect research graduate, postgraduate teachers must guarantee that students gain the ability to do research using the recognised procedures connected with specific educational sub-disciplines. Many factors may affect the research attitude of the college students.  A deep probe on the location of the specific factors leads to recommend appropriate strategies to improve the research attitude further. This study attempts to gain a better knowledge of the general research attitude of prospective teacher educators with respect to their residence area as an influencing factor.  For this 640 sample were randomly selected from 27 different colleges in Coimbatore, Dharmapuri, Erode, Namakkal, and Salem districts of Tamilnadu. The findings revealed that residence area is an influencing factor of prospective teacher educators.  The sample had an average level of research attitude. The higher education institutions should improve the research attitude of prospective teacher educators through teaching and training in research. This training should help them to successfully integrate research attitudes with growth plans in the educational process.
