The Relationship between Ability in Learning and Task Difficulty of Secondary School Students in South 24 Parganas

Abstract

The present study was constructed to inquire the relationship between ability in learning and task difficulty of secondary schools in North 24 Parganas (W.B). The study population consists of all secondary schools in North 24 Parganas. The sample for the present investigation is made by selecting almost 207 secondary school students using the random sampling method from the target population. Two self made questionnaires, i.e. ability in learning scale for students (ALSS) and task difficulty in learning scale for students (TDLSS) are used to collect the data. Mean, standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance and correlations have been used by the researchers for analysing and interpretation of data. The study showed that student's ability in learning and task difficulty in learning was significantly correlated.
