INTRODUCTION
Teaching aptitude refers to the inherent and acquired qualities that make a teacher effective in their role. It encompasses a range of skills, including communication, classroom management, subject knowledge, and the ability to adapt to diverse learning environments. Aptitude for teaching is not only essential for delivering content but also for fostering a positive and engaging atmosphere for students. In the modern educational context, teaching aptitude has gained increased importance due to the growing demand for quality education at all levels, from primary schools to higher education institutions. The concept of teaching aptitude has evolved over the years, from the early focus on subject mastery to a more holistic understanding that includes emotional intelligence, pedagogical skills, and student-centered learning. Pioneers like John Dewey emphasized the teacher’s role in shaping not only academic but also social and emotional development. More recent studies have built on this foundation, exploring how teaching aptitude contributes to the success of both students and teachers in diverse educational settings. Aptitude for teaching is often a combination of both inherent personal characteristics, such as empathy and patience, and developed skills, including instructional strategies, curriculum planning, and classroom management techniques. In essence, it is the competence and readiness of an individual to educate others successfully. Teaching aptitude to college-going students is critical, as this phase of education demands more than the simple transfer of knowledge; it involves developing advanced cognitive, analytical, and problem-solving skills in students. College educators, whether professors or lecturers, are tasked with preparing students for their future careers or further academic pursuits, requiring a distinct set of skills and aptitudes.
Review of Related Literature
Various research studies have been conducted on Teaching Aptitude by various scholars around the globe. Few of them have been quoted below in chronological order;
[1] researched on ‘Teaching Aptitude of School Teachers: A Gender-Based Comparison ‘ study that was carried out for comparison of female teachers’ aptitude of teaching with male teachers of three districts Multan, Khanewal and Muzaffar Garh. The key objective of this research study was to analyze the teaching aptitude of female and male school teachers. The present study includes the sample of 350 teachers including 178 female school teachers and 1172 male elementary and secondary school teachers by using simple random sampling technique. A standardized Teaching Aptitude Test is used as a research instrument for the measurement of the aptitudes of male and female teachers. Z- test was applied to compare the aptitude of teaching for female and male school teachers. Data analysis revealed that a significant difference is not found between the teaching aptitude of female and male school teachers. The study recommends to administer aptitude test at the time of selection of teachers to appoint those teachers for teaching profession who have high level of teaching aptitude.
[2] conducted a study on “Aging, personality, and teaching aptitude in school grade physical education teachers” and the research were to examine the impact of aging on teaching aptitude, explore the association between personality traits and teaching effectiveness, and identify potential interactions between age, personality, and teaching aptitude. Material and Methods Data were collected through standardized measures assessing teaching aptitude, personality traits, and demographic information. An intentional sampling with a survey group size of 283 physical education teachers (28.6% Female) including Trained Graduate Teachers (26.5%) and Post Graduate Teachers (73.5%) respectively. One-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, Hierarchical Regression, and mediation methods were used to analyze the obtained data. Results Teaching aptitude was negatively related to chronological age (male, r =-.296, female, r = -.43), teaching experience (male, r = -.343, Female, r = -.326), and neuroticism (male, r = -.408, female, r = -.399). Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness were positively related to teaching aptitude. Hierarchical Regression shows that gender has not explained significant variation among teaching aptitude after controlling the effects of personality traits and age (R2 square changes = .004). However, personality has partial mediating effects on the direct relationship between age and teaching aptitude. Conclusions Teaching aptitude decreases with age in both genders. The decreasing teaching aptitude with age has significant implications on the education system. However, the personality traits of the teachers also changed with age. Teachers gained more neuroticism as aged. It is essential to identify the factors contributing to this phenomenon and develop strategies to mitigate its effects.
[3] conducted a study on “A Comparative Analysis of School Teachers’ Teaching Aptitude” and the purpose was 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,[4] 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.
[5] conducted study on “Teaching Competence among Secondary School Teachers in relation to Teaching Aptitude, Locale and Teaching Experience” and this study aims to evaluate the levels of teaching competence among secondary school teachers as well as to identify the differences based on their teaching aptitude, locale and teaching experience. As the quality in education depends much on the competence of the teacher because the teacher is considered to be the hub of the teaching-learning process. In this context, schools and teachers have additional responsibilities in shaping student behaviour. The present study was conducted on a sample of 700 regular in-service teachers from Government high schools and government senior secondary schools from seven districts of Punjab. The study used a self-developed standardized Teaching Competence Scale for teachers and teaching aptitude test battery (TATB) by [6] Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to draw inferences on the hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between teaching competence and teaching aptitude among secondary school teachers and locale has no significant effect on teaching competence but teaching experience has significant effect on teaching competence.
[7] conducted a study on “A Comparative Study of Teaching Aptitude of Teachers Govt-aided and Self-financed colleges in NCR Region of India” and the objective of this article is to compare the teaching aptitude of teachers working in Government aided and self-financed and also to highlight the components of teaching aptitude for male and female teachers. For this purpose, a Teaching Aptitude Test survey was conducted among the male and female teachers separately in Government aided and self-financed University affiliated colleges in National Capital Region, India. An analysis of the results showed that the mean aptitude rating is higher among male teachers than female teachers. Besides, male teachers in Government aided colleges have better aptitude than those in Self-Financed colleges and Vice Versa in the case of female teachers. It was also found that scores in individual Aptitude Components are also different for male and female teachers.

DATA ANANLYSIS
The data collected were analyzed by using percentage and t-test.
DATA INTERPRETATION & FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
The first part of the objective was To Compare the Teaching Aptitude of College going students of district Anantnag with respect to Gender”. The data related to the objective was collected and analysed by using t-test. But before applying t-test, the investigator checked the assumptions of t-test which are normality and Homogeneity as has been discussed below;
Assumption of Normality
H0= the distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Male and Female College going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality.
Lilliefors Significance Correction
From above table it is clear that Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics for Teaching Aptitude of Male college going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag is 0.121 with df 50, whose significance value is 0.066 which is greater than 0.05, thus the value is not significant at 0.05 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that the “distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Male College going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality ” is accepted.
Similarly, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics for Teaching Aptitude of Female college going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag is 0.119 with df 50, whose significance value is 0.076 which is greater than 0.05, thus the value is not significant at 0.05 level of significance. Given this, the null hypothesis that the “distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores ofFemale College going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality ” is accepted. Hence the Assumption of Normality gets fulfilled.
Next, the assumption of homogeneity of variance was taken up. The result of Levene’s test of Homogeneity is given below in table;
From table it is clear that, F=1.035, its significant value is 0.312, which is greater than LOS 0.05. Hence, the value is significant at LOS 0.05. Thus, the Null Hypothesis that “There is no significant difference in the variance of scores of Teaching Aptitude of Male and Female College-going students of District Anantnag” is Accepted. Hence the assumption of Homogeneity of variance holds good.
Further from the above table it is clear that t-value is 3.314 with df= 98, whose two tailed significance value is 0.001 which is less than 0.01 level of significance. Hence the value is significant at 0.01 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that’ “there is no significant difference in Teaching Aptitude Scores of Male and Female College going Students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag” is rejected which means that Teaching Aptitude is not Independent of gender. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Teaching Aptitude Scores of Male and Female College going Students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag differ significantly. Also, from the Table below it is observed that mean of Teaching Aptitude of Female College going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag is 16.4600 which is significantly less than the mean of Teaching Aptitude of Male College going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag which is20.9200. Therefore, it can be concluded that Teaching Aptitude is found more in Male College going students of district Anantnag as compared to Female College going students of district Anantnag.

The Second part of the objective was To Compare the Teaching Aptitude of College-going students of district Anantnag with respect to Stream”. The data related to the objective was collected and analyzed by using t-test. But before applying t-test, the investigator checked the assumptions of t-test which are normality and Homogeneity as has been discussed below;
Assumption of Normality
H0= the distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Science and Arts College going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality.
From above table it is clear that Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics for Teaching Aptitude of Science college going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag is 0.155 with df 31, whose significance value is 0.054 which is greater than 0.05, thus the value is not significant at 0.05 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that the “distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Science College-going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality ” is accepted. Similarly, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics for Teaching Aptitude of Arts college going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag is 0.106 with df 69, whose significance value is 0.053 which is greater than 0.05, thus the value is not significant at 0.05 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that the “distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Arts College-going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality” is accepted. Hence the Assumption of Normality gets fulfilled. Next, the assumption of homogeneity of variance was taken up. The result of Levene’s test of Homogeneity is given below in table:
From table it is clear that, F=2.708, its significant value is 0.312, which is greater than LOS 0.05. Hence, the value is significant at LOS 0.05. Thus, the Null Hypothesis that “There is no significant difference in the variance of scores of Teaching Aptitude of Science and Arts College-going students of District Anantnag” is Accepted. Hence the assumption of Homogeneity of variance holds good.
Further from the above table it is clear that t-value is 2.502 with df= 98, whose two tailed significance value is 0.014 which is greater than 0.01 level of significance. Hence the value is significant at 0.01 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that’ “there is no significant difference in Teaching Aptitude Scores of Science and Arts College-going Students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag” is rejected which means that Teaching Aptitude is not Independent of Stream. Therefore, it can be concluded that Teaching Aptitude Scores of Science and Arts College-going Students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag differ significantly. Also, from the Table below it is observed that mean of Teaching Aptitude of Arts College-going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag is 17.5362 which is significantly less than the mean of Teaching Aptitude of Science College-going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag which is21.2581. Therefore, it can be concluded that Teaching Aptitude is found more in Science College-going students of district Anantnag as compared to Arts College going students of district Anantnag
Studies in-line with the findings
The study conducted by [4-5] also found in their studies that teaching aptitude is more in Science going students as compared to Arts going students
Antagonistic studies
The study conducted by [4-6] found in their studies that teaching aptitude is more in Arts going students as compared to Science going students
The third part of the objective was To Compare the Teaching Aptitude of College going students of district Anantnag with respect to Residential Background”. The data related to the objective was collected and analysed by using t-test. But before applying t-test, the investigator checked the assumptions of t-test which are normality and Homogeneity as has been discussed below;
Assumption of Normality
H0= the distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Rural and Urban College going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality.
From above table it is clear that Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics for Teaching Aptitude of Rural College going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag is 0.122 with df 60, whose significance value is 0.027 which is less than 0.05, thus the value is significant at 0.05 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that the “distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Arts College-going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality” is rejected. Similarly, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Statistics for Teaching Aptitude of Urban college going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag is 0.142 with df 40, whose significance value is 0.040 which is less than 0.05, thus the value is significant at 0.05 level of significance. In view of this the null hypothesis that the “distribution of Teaching Aptitude Scores of Urban College-going students of district Anantnag do not deviate significantly from normality” is rejected. Hence the Assumption of Normality doesn’t hold good. From above table and discussion, it is quite clear that the assumption of Normality does not hold good. Thus, instead of using T-test, the investigator used a non- parametric test known as Mann Whitney Test.
Objective
To compare the mean ranks of Teaching Aptitude scores of Rural and Urban college going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag. H0= There is no significant difference in the mean ranks of Teaching Aptitude scores of Rural and Urban college going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag.
From the above table it is clear that Mann-Whitney “U” value for Teaching Aptitude is 651.000 whose two tailed significance value is 0.000 which is less than 0.01 level From the above table it is clear that Mann-Whitney “U” value for Teaching Aptitude is 651.000 whose two tailed significance value is 0.000 which is less than 0.01 level of significance. Hence the value is significant at 0.01 level. In view of this the null hypothesis that “there is no significant difference in the mean ranks of Teaching Aptitude scores of Rural and Urban college going students belonging to different colleges of district Anantnag” is rejected.
Therefore, the Teaching Aptitude Scores of Rural and Urban College-going students belonging to different colleges of Anantnag differ significantly. Also, from the Table below, it is observed that mean rank of Teaching Aptitude of Urban College-going students of district Anantnag is 36.78 which is significantly less than the mean rank of Teaching Aptitude of Rural College-going students of district Anantnag which is 59.65.
