ABSTRACT

The linguistic and cognitive competence of 120 children belonging to three different upper primary school (Oriya medium, English medium and Hindi medium), and equal to 40 each was studied. The results indicated that while the system of schooling was not significantly noticeable in developing cognitive and academic competence. The linguistic competence was found to be significant indicating that in and around the age 10+ and 12+ years the linguistic competence is markedly identified. Whereas the conceptual ability and other related variables like curiosity, learning and piagetian concepts are at par with the system of schooling.
