Construction and validation of attitude towards teaching scale (ATTS)
Keywords:
Attitude, Construction, Validation, Attitude Scale, Student TeachersAbstract
The study's primary objective was to construct and validate an attitude scale for student instructors toward the teaching profession, which was then tested in the field. The participants were chosen via the use of a simple random selection approach. There was a descriptive study design as well as a quantitative survey approach utilised. There were a total of 50 first-year student teachers from the Tiruchirappalli district who took part in the event. When conducting the current experiment, the investigator used a Likert type scale in order to assess student teachers' attitudes about teaching. Each item on the Likert-type scale is assessed on a five-point scale ranging from "Strongly agree" to "Strongly disagree," with the highest mark being "Strongly disagree." In most cases, the points are expressed by the terms "Strongly Agree (SA)", "Agree (A)", "Undecided (UD)", "Disagree (DA)" and "Strongly Disagree (SDA). At the time of the pilot research, there were 48 statements on the scale that related to the teaching attitude. The statements on the scale correspond to the significance of the item under investigation. By using the internal consistency approach, it was possible to calculate the reliability coefficient of Cronbach's alpha (.829).
