Resumo
Este estudo investigativo foi realizado para observar uma comparação do desempenho escolar entre o inglês e a matemática do século 21 em relação aos alunos do 12º ano da Região Territorial Bodoland (BTR) de Assam, Índia. Para um estudo aprofundado, foi empregado um método de pesquisa descritiva para descobrir a natureza da investigação. Dois mil e duzentos e cinqüenta alunos de matemática e inglês do décimo segundo ano da BTR são selecionados aleatoriamente nesta investigação. Técnicas estatísticas como estatística descritiva, testes t, correlação são aplicadas para determinar a natureza do problema de desempenho escolar entre Inglês e Matemática. Após análise, constata-se que há uma tendência negativa de aprendizagem da matemática em comparação com o inglês. Revelação do estudo é dada para entender que foi encontrada uma diferença notável no que diz respeito ao desempenho escolar entre o inglês e a matemática da referida região. Além disso, o estudo revela adequadamente que foi encontrada uma diferença significativa entre os meninos, meninas, estudantes tribais, não tribais, assim como estudantes rurais e urbanos com relação ao desempenho escolar entre as duas disciplinas, como mencionado.
