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 of Arts and Science B.Ed. Teacher trainees in Various B.Ed. Colleges of Mysuru affiliated to University of Mysore. The sample consists of 487 (256 Arts and 231 Science) B.Ed. teacher trainees selected randomly.
