Teaching aptitude of pupil teachers in relation to their intelligence, gender and locality

The present study has explored about teaching aptitude of pupil teachers in relation to their intelligence, gender and locality. A representative sample of 200 pupil teachers from B. Ed. colleges of rohtak district was randomly selected. Teaching aptitude scale (2002) by L.C. Singh and Dahiya and test of general intelligence (2012) by S.K. Pal & K.S. Mishra were used to measure teaching aptitude and general intelligence of pupil teachers. The study depicts that there is significant difference in teaching aptitude between high intelligent and low intelligent pupil teachers revealing that high intelligent group have high teaching aptitude than low intelligent group. While teaching aptitude has no relevance with the gender of the individual but on the other hand teaching aptitude of an individual is affected by his/her family background or his/her place of living.
