Interest, motivation and attitude towards science and technology at K-12 levels: a systematic review of 12 years of educational research (2014, background): “Nevertheless, even if considerable efforts to synthesise research results have been made in the past 12 years (Awan et al., 2011; Blalock et al., 2008; Christidou, 2011; Foster, 2008; Krapp & Prenzel, 2011; Osborne et al., 2003; Rohaan, Taconis, & Jochems, 2010; Ruthven, 2011), none has given, to ou”
Prospective primary teachers’ self-efficacy and emotions in science teaching (2013, background): “Some studies have focused on the importance of emotions and attitudes in science teaching (Barmby and Defty 2006; Bennett et al. 2001; Blalock et al. 2008; Marbá-Tallada and Márquez 2010; Vázquez and Manassero 2007; Zembylas 2002), with recognition of the need to consider the emotions of teachers…”
HIGH ASPIRATIONS BUT LOW PROGRESSION: THE SCIENCE ASPIRATIONS–CAREERS PARADOX AMONGST MINORITY ETHNIC STUDENTS (2011, background): “Another focus of the critique of instruments used to measure attitudes towards science is the weakness of some of their psychometric properties (Blalock et al., 2008; Germann, 1988; Kind et al., 2007; Owen, Toepperwein, Marshall, Lichtenstein, Blalock, Liu, Pruski et al., 2008).”
Would You Want to Talk to a Scientist at a Party? High school students’ attitudes to school science and to science (2009, background): “…plethora of existing instruments, many of which are limited in use to a single study, and failure to draw on ideas from psychological theory (e.g., Blalock et al., 2008; Gardiner, 1975; Munby, 1990; Ormerod & Duckworth, 1975; Osborne, Driver, & Simon, 1998; Osborne et al., 2003; Ramsden, 1998;…”
Refinement of a Chemistry Attitude Measure for College Students. (2011, background): “More recently, Blalock developed a scoring rubric to rate the 66 instruments published in 150 peer-reviewed articles during 1935 ~ 2003 (Blalock et al., 2008).”
Effects of innovative science and mathematics teaching on student attitudes and achievement: A meta-analytic study (2016, unknown): “This lack of clarity is re ﬂ ected in the common practice that researchers will use their own newly developed instruments to assess attitudes, rather than a well-validated existing one (Blalock et al., 2008).”
