Abstract
The study aimed at exploring the impact of attitude of teachers about corporal punishment on students’ achievement in Mathematics. In the first phase, a survey was conducted to collect data about attitude of teachers towards students’ corporal punishment. A Five Point Likert Scale was used to measure teachers’ attitude towards corporal punishment. The achievements of students taught by teachers having positive attitude and those having negative attitude were compared on the basis of scores obtained in their annual Board examination. All the Mathematics teachers of Boys Government Secondary / Higher Secondary schools in District Nowshera and District Swabi, teaching 9th grade were included in the population-I and were taken as sample of the study. All 9th grade students in those schools were included in population-II. Ninety four (94) teachers constituting, 65% of the sample returned the questionnaires, out of them 63 showed positive attitude. The achievement scores of the students of teachers who did not favour corporal punishment were higher as compared with those who favoured corporal punishment.
