“…Topical interest arousal tends to stem from learning interactions because the interest attitudes are learned and it would make sense to believe attitudes can be taught as well (Papanastasiou, 2002). Whether or not teachers create an inviting science classroom (increased situational interest) that encourages students to engage in science can affect the interest attitudes that students hold about science (Talton & Simpson, 1986).…”

Students in the USA have fallen near the bottom in international competitions and tests in mathematics and science. It is thought that extrinsic factors such as family, community, and schools might be more influential than intrinsic attitudes toward science interest. However, there are relatively few valid and reliable measures of intrinsic factors such as interest relating to science. With the lack of intrinsic measures, it is difficult to determine the impact of extrinsic factors on the intrinsic construct. A fuller picture of the factors affecting intrinsic factors such as science interest will allow interventions to become more refined and targeted. Several studies suggest that student interest toward science affects the likelihood of the student pursuing advanced courses in science. The goal of this paper is to establish the validity and reliability of the Science Interest Survey and to determine if the survey meets the formal requirements of measurements as defined by the Rasch model. Results using both IRT and CRT analysis suggest that Science Interest Survey is an adequate measure of the unidimensional construct known as science interest. Results further suggest the Science Interest Survey is a valid and reliable measure for assessing science interest levels.

“…Nitekim bu konuda Taşkın Can, Cantürk Günhan ve Öngel Erdal'in (2005) yaptığı araştırma tutum, inanç ve davranış arasındaki olumlu ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktadır. Davranışların arkasında olan eğilimler olarak açıklanabilecek olan tutumla ilgili olarak Bilgin (1985) belli bir sosyal obje konusunda bireylerde var olan ve bilişsel, duyuşsal, davranışsal yanlar taşıyan gizil eğilimler, Papanastasiou (2002) ise olay, nesne ve olgulara karşı lehte ya da aleyhte duygusal eğilimler olarak tanımlamaktadır. Öğretmenlik mesleğine karşı tutum ve özyeterlilikle ilgili araştırmalar incelendiğinde tutumla ilgili (Gürbüztürk ve Genç, 1997;Erkuş, Sanlı, Bağlı ve Güven, 2000;Akpınar, 2004;Şeker, Deniz ve Görgen, 2005), özyeterlik ile ilgili (Dönmez, 2002;Erişen ve Çeliköz, 2003;Yaman, Koray ve Altunçekiç, 2004;Akbaş ve Çelikkaleli, 2006;Çapri ve Kan, 2007) yürüttüğü çalışmalara rastlanmıştır.…”

“…The concept of attitude, which is one of the important indicators of affective characteristics, has different definitions in the literature. According to Papanastasiou (2002) attitude is defined as the emotional tendency of an individual to ideas, objects, people and places. Another definition of attitude is 'a psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favour or disfavour' (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993, p. 1).…”

This study is a descriptive research in survey model. The sample of the study consists of eighty teacher candidates attending Pedagogical Formation Certificate Program. The 5-point likert-type attitude scale from literature consisting of "love", "value" and "adaptation" dimensions was used in this study. The findings show that the teacher candidates in pedagogical formation certification program have a positive attitude towards the teaching profession.
