DEVELOPING ATTITUDE SCALE TOWARD COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

The purpose of this study was to develop valid and reliable programming attitude scale in Turkish. Items developed in this study were based on Wiebe’s et al. (2003) Computer Science Attitude Scale which was developed from widely used Fennema-Sherman (1873) scale. 47 items were compiled from mentione...

(2003) Computer Science Attitude Scale which was developed from widely used Fennema-Sherman (1873) scale. 47 items were compiled from mentioned scale. After preliminary study, the scale was administered to 220 students who received Python programming language. Nine items were removed after validity and reliability analyses. Items were loaded on four subscales which were named as “Confidence and motivation in learning programming”, “Usefulness of programming”, “Attitude toward success in programming”, and “Social perception of success in programming”. These four subscales explained 60.3% variance of the total score. The reliability of the scale was found as 0.953. It is hard to say that students have positive attitudes based on the results. This could be one of the reasons for low success rate in programming courses. It was found that male students have more positive attitude than female students toward programming.
