Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of gender on scientific attitude of higher secondary school students in biology. A sample of 300 students, studying in Class XI was chosen from six higher secondary schools of Varanasi city affiliated to CBSE under the administration of either CBSE or Banaras Hindu University. Relevant data were gathered with the help of a tool ‘Action - Affection -Thinking Style Questionnaire’ (AATSQ) developed by Singh, P. N. (1988). Statistical analysis was made by calculating mean, standard deviation and t-test. The finding of the study indicates that there is no significant difference between scientific attitude of male and female students in biology at formal operational stage.
