Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
No meaningful learning can occur if those saddled with the responsibility of teaching do not show interest in the teaching profession. Hence the study sought to investigate male teachers’ perception of the teaching profession and their relationship with the students in public secondary schools in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom Sate, Nigeria. One research question was formulated to guide this study. A Survey research design was adopted and a sample of 503 students was randomly drawn from the fourteen pubic secondary schools in Uyo Senatorial District. Questionnaire was used to collect the data, which was analysed using t-test. It was revealed that interest in the teaching job on the side of the male teachers led to cordial relationship with the students and positive attitude towards academics and school engagements. It was recommended that teaching qualification be made compulsory for teaching job seekers, adequate facilities be provided, rapid promotions, salaries and other benefits be paid when due.
