摘要：The focus of the study was to compare the first and non-first generation learners on scientific temper and academic achievement. The sample for the present study consisted of 800 students in which 400 were first generation learners and 400 were non-first generation learners. The investigators used Nadeem`s and Showkat Rashid`s Scientific temper scale to assess the scientific temper of sample subjects. The previous two years academic achievement served as academic indicator of the sample subjects. The investigator used various statistical techniques viz, mean, S.D., t-test to analyze the data. The statistical data revealed that there is significant difference between first and non-first generation learners on scientific temper and academic achievement. Non-first generation learners were found to have better scientific temper and academic achievement as compared to their counterparts. Keywords: scientific temper, academic achievement, first and non-first generation learners.
