The students of the seventh class of the U.P. board living in Lucknow city were the population and all the 47 students of the seventh class of ‘Upper Primary School Mukarimnagar’ were the sample of the presented research. Purposive sampling was used to select the sample and out of 47 students in the class, 40 students were selected through a lottery system and matched on the basis of I.Q. Out of the 20 students in the experimental group, 11 students of high I.Q. and out of the 20 students existed in the control group, 10 students of high I.Q. existed in the experiment. Through ‘Non-Equivalent Post-Test-Only Control Group design’ the researcher taught all 11 students of the experimental group of high I.Q. using self-made constructivist pedagogy-based instructional material (teaching modules) and all the 10 students of the control group of high I.Q. were taught from the pre-determined unit of the class seventh math’s textbook through traditional teaching method using chalk and talk procedure till one and half months in every working day in the school. After this in the post-test, the data was collected on the mathematical anxiety of the students using a self-developed and standardized ‘Mathematical Anxiety Scale’. The normality of the experimental group of high I.Q. was found 0.082 and the control group was found 0.838. The homogeneity between both groups was found 0.265. The mean of the scores obtained on the scale of the experimental group students was 102.55 and the mean of the control group students was 131.20. The t-value between both groups was found 12.34 with at 0.01 level of significance. The research explored that the mathematical anxiety of the students of the experimental group of high I.Q. was found 52.33% and the control group was found 67.0%. The experimental group students of high I.Q. have ‘average mathematical anxiety’ and the students of the control group of high I.Q. have ‘high mathematical anxiety’.

Aayushi Jain,, Dr. Pawan Kumar — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This article explores the emerging field of neuromarketing and its potential impact on consumer buying behaviour. Neuromarketing combines neuroscience, psychology, and marketing to better understand consumer decision-making processes. The article discusses the various techniques used in neuromarketing research, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and eye-tracking, and the insights they provide into the subconscious factors that influence consumer behaviour. The article also discusses the ethical concerns surrounding neuromarketing, particularly regarding the manipulation of consumer behaviour. Overall, the article suggests that neuromarketing has the potential to revolutionize the way marketers understand and influence consumer behaviour. Neuromarketing has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses understand and engage with consumers. By providing insights into the emotional and psychological factors that influence purchasing decisions, businesses can create more effective marketing campaigns that resonate with consumers on a deeper level. However, it is essential to balance these benefits with ethical considerations and ensure that consumers' privacy is protected.
