The skill of analysing and evaluating information is very important in
the 21st century knowledge economy. Scientific temper is such a bent of
mind which helps one in this skill by thinking rationally and logically.
Scientific temper is considered as one of the fundamental duties which
is also identified as the most important 21st century skill in the National
Education Policy, 2020. Hence, it is expected that the present youth
comprising school and college should have scientific temper as per the
need of the time. It is also important to know the level of scientific
temper among our school and college going students so that required
measures can be taken up to develop this skill.
The present study is an attempt to find out the scientific temper
among secondary school students. Descriptive survey method was
adopted for this purpose. 272 IX standard students were taken as the
sample from the schools of Vadodara District using convenient
sampling method. A scale was prepared, validated and used by the
researchers to measure the scientific temper. Mean, SD and Mann
Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis of data. The findings
of the study revealed an above average level of scientific temper
among secondary school students as a whole and in all the eight
components of scientific temper with high deviation. No significant
differences were observed between the mean scores of secondary
school boys and girls in scientific temper as a whole and in all the
eight components.
