Description:
The aim of this study is to develop a reliable and valid attitude scale in order to assess primary science preservice teachers’ attitudes towards physics laboratory. The attitude factors were developed by comparing existing attitudes scales and discussing with experts on the field. The sample related to the development phase of the scale consists of 318 science pre-service teachers studying in the Department of primary science education at the Faculty of education, Kırsehir at Gazi University. There are 19 positive and 17 negative attitude factors in the scale. The Cronbach-Alpha internal integrity coefficient of the final version of the scale was found to be 0.8930 after factor analysis was carried out. Science pre- service teachers’ attitudes towards physics laboratory were explored by a five point Likert scale. The data were analyzed by SPSS software and were evaluated at their attitudes towards physicslaboratory.
