摘要:
The factorial structure and reliability of four Fennema‐Sherman mathematics attitude scales were investigated. The scales were administered to 204 college students in five mathematics classes and submitted to factor analysis. The scales were found to be reliable but measured three factors instead of four. The scales appeared to be generalizable to college populations, although the items may need to be reorganized. Additional research is needed to determine their usefulness for counselling or for prediction of success in math classes. Future research should consider the possibility of sex differences, also.
