Abstract

The present study was undertaken for comparative study of achievement in mathematics of urban and rural secondary students in relation to their aptitude for mathematics and emotional intelligence. The sample consists of 225 students comprised of 120 rural secondary students and 105 urban secondary students studying in government and private schools of Hoshiarpur district were selected as a purposive and random sample. Data was collected by Mathematics Achievement and Aptitude Test for mathematics was developed by the investigators and Emotional Intelligence Scale by Hyde, Pethe and Dhar (2001) were used. The data obtained were analysed statistically and the study revealed that mathematical aptitude was a significant predictor of achievement in mathematics, so schools and colleges should conduct mathematical aptitude test to ensure that students having aptitude for mathematics are properly guided and motivated. The results of the study also indicated that emotional intelligence was significantly correlated with achievement in mathematics.

城乡中学生数学成绩与数学才能、情绪智力关系的比较研究

摘要本研究对城市和农村中学生数学成绩与数学才能和情绪智力的关系进行了比较研究。样本共225名学生，其中120名农村中学生和105名城市中学生在Hoshiarpur区公立学校和私立学校学习，为有目的随机样本。数据由数学成就收集，数学能力倾向测试由研究者开发，情绪智力量表由Hyde, Pethe和Dhar(2001)使用。对获得的数据进行统计分析，研究表明数学能力是数学成绩的重要预测因素，因此学校和大学应该进行数学能力测试，以确保有数学能力的学生得到适当的指导和激励。研究结果还表明，情绪智力与数学成绩显著相关。
