STUDY OF THE SCIENTIFIC TEMPER OF SENIOR SECONDARY SCIENCE STUDENTS

This research aims to study the scientific temper of senior secondary science students in the context of the locality, gender and subject groups. Investigator developed a standardized tool for measuring the scientific temper, consists of 100 test items related to six dimensions of scientific temper. The tools reliability, cross validity and concurrent validity were found 0.68, 0.72 and 0.68 respectively. A sample of 600 was selected randomly from the population and the tool was administrated on the sample to compare the scientific temper in the context of the locality, gender and subject group. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis of the raw score revealed that the scientific temper of urban senior secondary science students is significantly higher than their rural counterpart and the scientific temper of PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) subject group students is also significantly higher than PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) subject group students but the scientific temper of boys and girls of senior secondary science students does not differ significantly.

Confrontation, 1963–1966

This chapter focuses on the place of Colombian Communism within the redefinition of democracy, convivencia, and reform in the countryside. The construction of the FARC out of this convergence cemented Manuel Marulanda's status as Colombia's best-known frontier Communist. However, Marulanda exemplified but one of many possible paths for Gran Tolima's Communists between 1962 and 1965. In concert with regional elites, Bogota's social scientists, and select military officers, many of Marulanda's comrades chased peaceable solutions to displacement and development until the end. The absence of these actors and repertoires from accounts of the FARC's creation highlights a final step in the creole peace's fade from memory. As the product of Marulanda's alienation from the National Front experiment, the FARC's formation represented a rural counterpart to Fals' La Violencia.
