THE EFFECTS OF A TEACHER’S OUTLOOK ON STUDENT’S MOTIVATION TOWARDS LEARNING
Abstract
The current study aimed to explore the impact of teachers’ outlook in the schools of Karachi. The study employed the qualitative research methodology to seek in-depth knowledge of the issue. The students of grade VIII-X in Karachi were the population for the study. Convenience random sampling technique was used for the detailed individual interviews. For data collection a semi-structured questionnaire was prepared. The main findings were that teachers’ outlook had no direct impact on students’ performances however; significance was found with students’ motivation. The study suggests that as teachers’ outlook has a significant effect on students’ motivation and they idealize their teachers towards personality development, thus teachers out look and personality should also be given prime importance.References
