A study of the relationship between scientific attitude and academic achievement of rural area's intermediate college girls (science stream only)

Abstract

This paper is related to the study of the relationship between scientific attitude and academic achievement of rural area’s intermediate college girls (science stream only) in Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh. The sample has been taken from four colleges. Here two components of scientific attitude are used i.e., scientific attitude ‘in form of intent’ and scientific attitude ‘in form of action’. The study reveals that academic achievement is positively as well as significantly correlated with scientific attitude. It means that with increase in academic achievement, scientific attitude of female students also increases. The finding may lie in the fact that at the higher secondary level overall scientific attitude develops among the students in its optimal level.
