A Study of Impact of Aptitude in Mathematics as Stream Selection at Higher Secondary Level
Abstract:
Present study explores the aptitude among higher secondary students. It is aimed to find out the effect of stream selection in terms of aptitude. A sample of 100 students has been taken from a government senior secondary school of Agra, Uttar Pradesh-India. Data is collected by administering Differential Aptitude Test (DAT).
