Abstract

Life cannot be imagined without science and technology. Science is indispensably present in every sphere of life but the application of scientific temper in daily social behaviour is a challenge. Scientific temper is a mental trait having some characteristics like objectivity, rationality, free from biasness, open mindedness etc. In modern times, scientific temper is extremely crucial from various perspectives. Fostering scientific temper among the students of secondary level is very important as it provides the ingredients to be a good citizen for progressive society. Through the inculcation of scientific temper proper social behaviour can be achieved. Secondary level is very vital for fostering scientific temper among the students.
