Employing a descriptive survey methodology, the research assesses the trainees' disposition towards Critical Mindedness, Open-Mindedness, Respect for Evidence, Suspended Judgment, Willingness to Change Opinions, Questioning Attitude and Objectivity and explores the factors influencing these attitudes, including academic background and exposure to pedagogical methods .This research paper attempts to study the Scientific Temper among B.Ed. trainees of Various Grant-in-Aid and Unaided B.Ed. colleges¬¬¬ of Mysuru affiliated to University of Mysore.
