Abstract:

Scientific attitude reflects a desire for accurate knowledge, confidence in systematic methods of inquiry, and a belief that problems can be effectively solved through the application of verified knowledge. The primary aim of scientific education is to cultivate this attitude or behavior among students. This attitude is a cognitive process or concepts and is a composite of a number of mental habits or tendencies to react in different and problematic situations consistently which refers to the characteristics of curiosity, skepticism, open-mindedness, and systematic inquiry, is crucial for effective problem-solving. In this study, data explores the relationship between various dimensions of scientific attitude and academic achievement among 160 female and 240 male students. Overall, the data suggests that a positive relationship exists between scientific attitude and academic achievement across all demographic and educational groups analyzed. The result revealed that scientific attitude has a consistent moderate positive correlation in both male and female groups, with a slightly stronger association observed in females. This highlights the importance of fostering scientific attitude as a contributing factor to potentially beneficial outcomes.
