Researchers used a multi-stage random sampling technique to select the sample, which comprised of 158 teachers from 361 Govt. Secondary& Higher Secondary schools of Lahore, district. For data collection from mathematics teachers, the researchers used a self-constructed questionnaire .Researchers piloted the tool and validated it through experts’ opinion; its reliability coefficient was 0.865. For student’s achievement, we considered the overall percentage results of the class, taught by selected sample teachers in Mathematic (BISE results). The researchers themselves had taken the responses to the questionnaire from selected teachers. The results revealed that there is a positive correlation between teachers’ overall pedagogical beliefs and student’s achievement. Many factors are the cause of these results.
