Abstract

In the present study, a scale was developed to determine the individual’s attitudes toward geometry. The developed scale is composed of 10 positive and 7 negative items. To test the validity of the scale and find out its sub-dimensions, the factor analysis was performed and three sub-dimensions were found which were called “enjoyment”, “usefulness” and “anxiety”. Moreover the reliability coefficient (Cronbach alpha) was found as 0.92.
