A Study of Reasoning Ability and Problem Solving Ability in Relation to the Attitude Towards Mathematics of Secondary School Students

Abstract

An attempt has been made by the investigator to study the reasoning ability and problem solving Ability in relation to the Attitude towards Mathematics of secondary school students. Descriptive cum survey method was used in the study. For the study, 4 schools were selected through random sampling technique. Tools of attitude, reasoning ability and problem solving ability was selected and given to the students. Statistical analysis has been carried out on the gathered data by using the different tools mentioned above. Mean, SD, t- test test were applied. After calculation it was found that attitude does not play a role in defining reasoning ability and problem solving ability at .01 level of significance and also at .05 level of significance
