This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2018 Home Science Question Paper (08-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

Science

To determine the best field of study that enhances the ability of students to experiment and analyze, we need to consider the nature of each discipline:

  1. Science: Science is inherently experimental and analytical. It involves the scientific method, where students formulate hypotheses, conduct experiments, gather data, and analyze results. This process not only sharpens analytical skills but also encourages experimental thinking.
  2. History: While history requires analysis of past events and critical thinking, it does not focus on experimental studies but rather on understanding chronological events, interpretations, and impacts.
  3. Economics: Economics involves analysis of data and trends, and though it has research components, it is primarily theoretical and less hands-on than experimental sciences.
  4. Languages: Language study focuses on linguistic skills, comprehension, and communication, lacking an emphasis on experimental or analytical methodologies.

Thus, Science is the discipline best suited for developing students' abilities to experiment and analyze due to its emphasis on the scientific method and laboratory work.

Hence, the correct answer is: Science.
