Abstract
The present study aims to assess the influence of living place, gender and stream of study on scientific attitude and attitude towards science of higher secondary level students. The study was conducted on a sample of 200 higher secondary students of district Badaun (Uttar Pradesh). Attitude towards Science was assessed by employing the Scale (ATSS) developed by Pandey and Singh (2002) and Scientific Attitude was measured by the scale (SAS) constructed by Gohit and Sreedevi (2008). The findings of the study reveal that gender does not affect the scientific attitude and attitude of students towards science while stream of study plays significant role in determining the scientific attitude and attitude of students towards science.
