Abstract
The teaching profession is incomplete without teachers' personal aptitude towards their profession as teaching aptitude uplifts teachers' teaching competencies and gives them confidence in their profession. Keeping in view the utmost significance of teaching aptitude for school teachers, this study was conducted with the purpose of comparing the teaching aptitude of elementary school teachers and secondary school teachers in schools of three districts of the Multan division in Punjab province. The sample for the study was comprised of 300 teachers including 171 ESTs and 129 SSTs which were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. For the measurement of the aptitude of teachers of both cadres, Dahiya & Singh's Teaching Aptitude Test (2004) was used. For the analysis of data, Mean score and z-test was used. The results revealed that ESTs had greater teaching aptitude than SSTs. However, the difference between the teaching aptitudes of ESTs and SSTs is insignificant. Similarly, male ESTs had a low-level teaching aptitude than male SSTs. The study recommended that teaching aptitude should be measured at the time of induction of teachers.
