Muddanagouda Patil, B. H. Talawar

Abstract :

The present study aimed to assess the gender difference in Aggression level of secondary school students in relation to their Montessori and Traditional method of education. It was hypothesized that male and female of Montessori students differ significantly in their Aggression level. Male and female of Traditional method of education students differ significantly in their Aggression level. In order to verify the above hypotheses a sample of 120 students were selected from secondary schools which offer education with Montessori (N=60) and Traditional methods (N=60). To measure Aggression, the Aggression scale developed by Pal and Naqvi (1986) was administered individually on the subjects. The data were subjected to ‘t’ analyses and the major findings of the study revealed that the students of Montessori Method of education and Traditional Method of education did not differ significantly in their Aggression level. Further analysis revealed that the male students of Montessori and Traditional Method of education have significantly differed, and also there is significantly difference between in female students of Montessori and Traditional method of education in their Aggression level.
