STUDY HABITS OF SCIENCE STUDENTS AND ANALYTICAL REASONING SKILLS: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the learning processes is controlling the intelligence process, which continuously enhances a person's ability and provides opportunities for thinking abilities to be utilised practically in real life as a foundation for human development. The purpose of the study was to compare the study habits and analytical reasoning abilities of undergraduate science students. The study population consisted of maths majors from two departments at Punjab University, both male and female. The research sample consisted of 200 male and female students from the mathematics and scientific education departments of the University of Punjab, selected using an appropriate sampling technique. A test and a questionnaire were used as research tools to collect data. The results of the study showed a significantly significant difference between the study habits of science students and their undergraduate analytical reasoning skills.
