Abstract

The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to investigate the self-perceptions of college students whose major is in chemistry about learning chemistry by a comparative analysis with respect to varying personal characteristics such as gender and grade level, and (2) to provide further evidence for the reliability of the modified Fennema-Sherman mathematics attitude survey to measure students’ attitudes towards learning chemistry.

The instrument, previously adopted and confirmed for reliability, was implemented with college students in this study. Internal consistency analysis revealed Cronbach alpha values ranging from .933 to .695, further supporting the high reliability of the modified scale for this context.
