Scientific Temperament of High School Pass Students: Reflections for Future

Abstract

To develop the Scientific temper of all students and individuals in general, has always been one of the cherished goals of education and its importance has been highlighted by various policy documents and government initiatives for many-many years now. This paper assessed the scientific temperament among high school pass students who are currently pursuing the teacher education programme. The researcher modified the Scientific Temper Scale by N.A. Nadeem and Showkat Rasheed Wani to suit the need of this study. The tool was modified to include subjective questions so that the researcher does not end up labelling the participants as having low or high scientific temperament but some insights could be gathered about the gaps in our education system and implications can be derived for future.
