Abstract: In this study, analysis of variance for parental demographic nt variables to students’ total attitudes toward science teaching and learning was carried out. A survey was carried out on a randomly selected 243 participants in the secondary school section (12-16 year age group). The Likert type questionnaire was used to collect data which was subjected to ANOVA testing. The Null hypothesis (Ho) testing showed F-ratios which were significant at both .05 and .01 alpha levels leading to rejection of (Ho). Parental encouragement, parental socio-economic status and parental educational levels were all significant towards attitude formations and change towards the teaching and learning of Science. It was concluded that parents play a critical role in encouraging and supporting their children’s Science learning at home and in school and throughout their communities.
