Huang, Yun-Chen; Lin, Shu-Hui
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v48 n2 p109-123 Apr 2015
This study aimed to develop and validate the Attitude Toward Calculus Inventory (ATCI). Results from three studies are reported that establish the reliability and validity of this instrument. An examination of the factor structure confirms that student attitudes can be explained in terms of four factors: self-confidence, value, enjoyment, and motivation.
