Key Points

  • The research aims to create and standardize an attitude scale toward mathematics specifically for Grade 9 Schedule Caste students.
  • Constructed an attitude scale through a systematic procedure
  • Included planning, blueprint preparation, item drafting, and expert validation
  • Conducted small group testing and pilot testing to refine the scale
  • Performed item analysis on the final 25 items
  • The final attitude scale consists of 25 items measuring cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions
  • The scale is context-sensitive and balanced for assessing attitudes toward mathematics
  • The tool is reliable and relevant for secondary education interventions

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to construct and standardize an attitude scale toward Mathematics for Grade 9th Schedule Caste students studying in government high schools in Lucknow. Based on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of attitude, the scale was developed through a systematic and multi-phase procedure including planning, blueprint preparation, item drafting, small group testing, expert validation, pilot testing, and item analysis. The final scale consists of 25 items that provide a context-sensitive and balanced measure of students' different dimensions of attitude toward Mathematics. The study offers a reliable and relevant tool for assessing mathematical attitudes and supporting targeted educational interventions at the secondary level.
