Description

The Attitude Towards Education Scale (ATES-7) is a psychometric tool developed to assess individuals’ attitudes toward education. It includes 7 statements, with which participants are asked to agree or disagree using a Likert scale, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). This scale is primarily used in educational research to measure the attitudes and perceptions of students, educators, or even parents regarding the importance and value of education.

Analysis

The “Attitude Towards Education Scale” (ATES-7) serves as a tool for measuring students’ or university students’ attitudes toward education. It consists of seven (7) items that assess various aspects of individuals’ attitudes toward education, such as the value they place on learning, their satisfaction with the educational system, and their motivation to achieve educational goals. Analyzing the responses provides valuable insights into how participants perceive education and helps identify potential areas for improvement.

Objective

The goal of the ATES-7 is to evaluate the overall attitude of students or university students toward education. Its purpose is to understand participants’ views, expectations, and feelings about the educational process. The information gathered can be used to develop strategies for improving the educational experience, increasing engagement, and promoting a more positive attitude toward education.

Calibration

Calibration of the ATES-7 is based on participants’ responses to each of the seven items. Each item is rated on a Likert scale (e.g., from 1 to 5), with higher scores indicating a more positive attitude toward education. The total score is calculated by summing the individual item scores. A high total score suggests a positive attitude, while a low score indicates a negative attitude.

Bibliography

The literature concerning the ATES-7 includes studies and articles that examine the validity and reliability of the tool, as well as its application in various educational contexts. Key publications have analyzed its psychometric evaluation and explored the relationship between attitudes toward education and other factors such as academic performance, motivation, and socio-economic status. This literature provides a theoretical framework and supports the use of ATES-7 in educational research and practice.
