Dec 16, 2021 · This meta-analysis shows that there is a statistically significant and robust positive relationship between students' attitude toward science and their academic achievement in science, and the strength of this association is stronger in self-efficacy than in interest, societal relevance, mixed attitude, which offers valuable insights into the ...

This article reports a meta-analysis of 88 attitude-behavior studies that reveals that attitudes significantly and substantially predict future behavior (mean r = .38; combined p <<. 000000000001). Relatively large and significant moderating effects were found for the attitudinal variables of attitude certainty, stability, accessibility ...

Sep 12, 2019 · The scientific method has been guiding biological research for a long time. It not only prescribes the order and types of activities that give a scientific study validity and a stamp of approval but also has substantially shaped how we collectively think about the endeavor of investigating nature.

Among the appraised instruments, only a few were found to be consistent with consensus recommendations, thus most falling short according to the current standards. Considering the multiplicity of conceptualizations of the attitude toward science construct, the development of new instruments that have not been subjected to a rigorous content validit...
While internal consistency was reported for all instruments revised, this was done mainly by computing the Cronbach alpha (α) index. Although this index is extensively used in science education literature to determine whether quantitative measurement instruments have acceptable reliability (Taber 2018), its accuracy depends on several strict assump...
From the 18 reviewed instruments, the ASCIv2-English and the Short TOSRA were the ones for which more evidence of validity and reliability were provided. However, these instruments are not without methodological limitations. The ASCIv2 versions are adaptations of the original ASCI instrument, which was not submitted to content validity analysis whe...
The findings of this study have several implications. First, further studies should provide evidence of temporal-stability for those instruments intended to be used in an intervention or longitudinal studies. Meanwhile, the use of instruments that lack evidence of temporal stability should be restricted in studies adopting quasi-experimental time-s...

Tytler and Osborne’s(2012) conceptualization of attitudes toward science to retrieve mea-surement instruments focused on the assessment of different dimensions purported to be reflecting individuals attitudes toward science, including (i) favorable/unfavorable attitudes
The scientific attitude represents the motivation which converts this knowledge and skill into action and refers to a willingness to use scientific procedures and methods.
