Abstract :
The paper is an investigation of relatedness between philosophical orientations and attitudinal valences of secondary school teachers. Investigator developed and standardized the philosophical orientation measure adapted from scale developed by Thomas G Ryan, 2008. Other scale for attitudinal assessment was developed on the basis of Kerlinger’s (1967) study. This scale was used used to classify teachers in to Person oriented and Task oriented groups based on their attitudinal valences. Data obtained from philosophical orientation measure is analyzed in respect of two attitudinal polarities and across attribute variables-gender, nature of school and experience of the teachers. Data has been analyzed by utilizing one-way analysis of variance and student’s t-test. It has been found that philosophical orientation of secondary school teachers are not influenced by their attitudinal valences. Both tsk oriented and person oriented teachers have almost equal preference for philosophical alliance in respect of ‘Essentialism’, ‘Progressivism’, ‘Social Reconstructionism’ and ‘Behaviorism’ .
