Abstract

In this paper the effect of instrumental strategy, viz. Duval cognitive model (DCM) vs. Conventional group Learning (CGL) on Geometric Reasoning in mathematics on sample of 300 class 9th students was The findings studied of the study were (a) Students studying through DCM achieved higher gain mean that those who were studying in a CGL situation on geometrical reasoning. (b) Students studying through DCM achieved higher gain mean than those who were studying in a CGL situation on purely configural process of geometrical reasoning. (c) Students studying through DCM achieved higher gain mean that those who were studying in a CGL situation on natural discursive process of geometrical reasoning. (d) Students studying through DCM achieved higher gain mean that those who were studying in a CGL situation on theoretical discursive process of geometrical reasoning.
