Overview

Survey reveals variations in mathematical thinking skills across gender, grade, and instruction medium in secondary students, highlighting the need for targeted problem-solving curricula.

Key Points

Assess the mathematical thinking skills of higher secondary students and determine whether these abilities vary by gender, grade level, and medium of instruction.
Administered the Mathematical Thinking Skills Scale using a descriptive survey design among higher secondary school students (N=200) across schools in Chennai District, Tamil Nadu.
Evaluated differences across gender, class level (standards XI and XII), and medium of instruction using mean, standard deviation, and t-test analyses.
Identified significant variations between male and female students across specific dimensions of mathematical thinking skills.
Demonstrated notable differences in mathematical thinking performance between eleventh- and twelfth-grade students, as well as between different mediums of instruction.
