Abstract | The development and preliminary validation of an instrument to measure attitude toward school subjects (GRASS) is described. An item pool consisting of 30 items was generated and refined. A 23 Likert item scale was then administered to 893 eleventh and twelfth grade high schools Ss. A principal component analysis and obliquimax transformation generated three dimensions of attitude toward school subjects (social studies). Two of the dimensions (General Interest and Usefulness) were found to be both meaningful and reliable (internal consistency). It is suggested that scores on the two dimensions could be used separately or combined into a total attitude-toward-school-subject score. (Author) |
