Abstract:

 Primary education is no doubt a cornerstone ofgeneral education and to expect success at secondary and higherlevel. Without viable teaching aptitude, success will be merely awishful thinking; therefore, the purpose of the present study was toexplore the teaching aptitude of teachers working in primaryschools and to investigate demographic differences. A total numberof 600 teachers participated in this study. A self-developedinstrument was used to measure teaching aptitude of teachers afterpilot testing. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine the reliabilitycoefficient (i-e 0.79). The results revealed that under the establishednorms, overall high teaching aptitude was found among primaryteachers. Among the regions of Punjab, Southern Punjab’s teacherswere significantly low in their teaching aptitude. However, theteaching aptitude was found to be changed when participants wereexamined demographically. The average aptitude was revealed lowamong the teachers working in rural areas as well as on contractbasis.
