Abstract

Attitude plays a significant role in the teaching and learning process. This study investigates the relationship between teachers’ and students’ attitudes and the academic achievement of Biology undergraduate students at Northwest University Kano. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected through structured questionnaires and academic records. The findings revealed that positive attitudes of both teachers and students significantly influence academic achievement. However, negative attitudes, lack of motivation, and inadequate teaching methods were identified as factors affecting performance. The study concludes that improving attitudes and teaching strategies can enhance academic outcomes.
