SCIENCE STUDENTS' STUDY HABITS AND THEIR CAPACITY FOR CRITICAL REASONING: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Managing the intelligence process, which constantly improves a person's capacity and creates chances for thinking skills to be applied practically in real life as a basis for human development, is one of the learning processes. The study's goal was to investigate the differences between undergraduate science students' study habits and their capacity for analytical reasoning. Male and female maths students from two Punjab University departments made up the study's population. Using a suitable sampling technique, 200 male and female students from the University of Punjab's departments of mathematics and scientific education made up the research sample. As a research tool, a test and a questionnaire were employed to gather data. According to the study's findings, there was a highly significant difference between science students' study habits and their ability to reason analytically at the undergraduate level.
