Mr. U. Shyam Sunder Rao, Dr. G. Vema Narayana Reddy

Abstract :

The teaching of science at this stage should emphasize on the acquisition of knowledge along with the ability of logical thinking and drawing conclusions for taking decisions at a higher level. At this stage a disciplinary approach of teaching science is favoured instead of an integrated science teaching. The main objective of the present study is to study the influence of caste and mother education on the scientific attitude of VIII class students. The scientific attitude questionnaire developed by Banal Hari Babu (2014) was adopted for the present study. A sample of 320 VIII class students representing all categories of secondary schools in Y.S.R. Kadapa District by following the standardized procedures. �t� and �F� – (ANOVA) tests were employed for analysis of the data. There is significant influence of caste and mother education at 0.01 level of significance on the scientific attitude of VIII class students.
