This study investigated teachers’ instructional competence and attitude towards teaching as predictors of students’ learning behaviour in mathematics. Three research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey and correlational research designs were in the study. A sample of 400 students from the 2nd and 3rd year senior secondary school was used. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination were used to answer the research questions while regression analysis was used to test the null hypotheses at p< 0.05. The result showed a strong correlation between teachers’ instructional competence and students’ learning behaviour in mathematics; and a strong correlation between teachers’ attitude towards teaching and students’ learning behaviour in mathematics. It was recommended that Mathematics teachers should develop positive attitude towards the subject. Teachers should improve and use their instructional competences making Mathematics interesting and appealing to students in order to help them develop a positive learning behaviour towards the subject.
