Abstract

In this era of science and technology, education determines human welfare. In any democratic society, decisions are taken by the citizens in the form of voters through which they convey their feelings to the government and officials. In this era of scientific progress, scientific literacy is essential. In the absence of proper knowledge of science and technology, a person expresses his thoughts bound by fear and superstitions. In the present study, the attitude of class 11 students towards chemistry was studied. Survey method has been used in the study. As a sample, 50 students of class 11 of Shahjahanpur district were selected through lottery method. A self-made ‘Chemistry Aptitude Scale’ was used as an instrument. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to analyze the data. The study concluded that male students were found to have more attitude towards chemistry than female students and urban students were found to have more attitude towards chemistry than rural students.
