- Abstract
The article focuses on the study which aims at building a device for measuring the effects of science instruction on the scientific attitudes. The scientific attitude is named as "Conviction of Cause and Effect Relations." The study has followed the testing procedures of "Paper and Pencil" method. This method has been adopted because it involves fewer possibilities of misinterpretation. This testing procedure method involves equal appearing intervals. However some changes have been made in the method including shortening of the scale, ratings of statements by a few experts, values of scales are obtained by formula and items have been placed in categories. The accumulation of a satisfactory list of items was the most important and crucial step in the composition of an attitude scale. The data was collected from all resources including previous studies, popular books and magazines, newspapers, radio, motion pictures and classroom situations.
