Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun

This study investigated the teachers_ attitudes towards co-curricular activities in schools. The aim of the paper was to highlight the teachers_ readiness, knowledge and commitment towards their involvement in cocurricular activities in schools. A total of 116 respondents participated in the survey. The findings showed that the teachers_ readiness of being involved in the activities of co-curricular was high (mean=4.00); their knowledge was found to be at high levels (mean=3.86) and their commitment was also at high levels (mean=3.86). The results of the study implied that the teachers_ attitudes towards the co-curricular activities influenced significantly the students_ performance at co-curricular activities. The students_ active participation in co-curricular activities served as the catalyst for students_ holistic development. Therefore, the teachers_ attitudes in terms of readiness, knowledge and commitment should be emphasized in curriculum planning and co-curriculum planning, implementation and evaluation. Key words: Co-curricular activities; students_ performance; teachers_ readiness, knowledge, commitment.
