Curiosity, Reasoning Ability, Gender Differences, School Type, Secondary School Students

This study investigates the impact of gender and type of school on curiosity and reasoning ability among secondary school students in Ranchi city. A sample of 100 students was randomly selected from various government and private schools. The Children's Curiosity Scale (CCS-KR) and the Reasoning Ability Test (RAT) were used to measure curiosity and reasoning abilities, respectively. The results indicate that female students scored significantly higher in both curiosity and reasoning ability compared to male students. Additionally, students from government schools exhibited higher curiosity, while reasoning ability did not significantly differ between school types. A strong positive correlation was found between curiosity and reasoning ability, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these cognitive traits. The findings underscore the need for educational strategies that address gender differences and promote cognitive development across different school environments.
