Role of Demographic Variables in Mathematical Interest of Secondary School Students of District Kurukshetra
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mathematical interest is the basis for mathematical achievement and a career in mathematics. In this study, a survey was conducted on a sample of 102 secondary school students of the Kurukshetra District of Haryana state. It was found that students had different levels of mathematical interest. It was also found that there was no significant difference in mathematical interest on a gender basis; however, it was found that there was a significant difference in mathematical interest on a locality basis. It was suggested to conduct further research in this area for the generalisation of our findings.
