| Abstract: | Attitude formation and attitude change in children may be seen as matters of central concern to the teacher. This paper describes how, in one particular subject area (physical education), the investigator gathered attitude statements from young children and produced a scale to measure their stated attitudes towards curriculum physical education. The paper relates the process of establishing test reliability and validity and indicates how standardisation and greater ease of administration may be achieved through the use of an audio tape presentation. |
