The Predictive Validity of an Attitudes-To-School Scale in Relation to Children'S Academic Achievement

University of Adelaide, Adelaide

Scales were developed to measure children's affective and cognitive attitudes toward school. The predictive validities of the scales were examined in relation to children's academic achievement, after considering associations between the children's intellectual ability and measures of their academic achievement. Data were collected from 430 female and 450 male 11-year-old Australians. The results indicated that the scales may provide useful short-form measures of children's attitudes toward school.
