Teachers’ Attitudes: Implications to Students Learning Process

Abstract

Ever since the existence of learning activity, the academic attitude has been considered in history. Subjects of the study should possess
a learning attitude, which is currently brought into the broad investigation. However, such analyses are mainly aimed at students; few
of them are concerned with teachers closely related to the students. It is primarily about the limitations concerning the construction of
academic attitudes of teachers, whose attitudes towards the academy are assumed to be optimistic. One hundred sixty-eight Bachelor
of Science in Business Administration, one hundred sixty Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness Management, and one hundred ten
Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management students from the third year and fourth year levels were purposely selected with a total
of 438 that served as respondents to the survey. In terms of profile, most of the respondents are female, with a mean age of 25 years
old. With regards to the level of perception, BSBA, BSAM, and BSHM students signified that the attitudes and actions of their teachers
sometimes affect their learning positively as perceived by themselves. Statistical analysis shows slight negative correlations between
the perception of the male and female respondents and the perception of BSBA, BSAM, and BSHM students towards their teachers’
attitudes. However, age has a slight positive correlation to the perception of the student respondents towards their teachers’ attitudes
