Abstract

Measuring the attitude of faculty members towards physical education, a analysis of this type is essential as the study would reveal not only the attitudes of the faculty members but also the impact it has over the students regarding views of physical fitness. The environment and the personality of teachers and administrators exercise a great influence on the development of the student. Purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude of subjects’ teachers towards physical education subject and programs. Total 50 different stream teachers both male and female were selected as subject for this study and their age ranged between 25 to 50 years.  A standardized scale “Attitude Scale for Physical Education” constructed by Dr G.P.
