The student assessedBroughton, Richard, n/a January 1984 (has links)
Interviews were held with 126 Year 10 and 23 Year 11 students
to obtain a description of the knowledge that students had
about the way they were assessed. Data was obtained about the
grades the students received, or expected to receive. The
students also completed the same attitude scales in both sets
of interviews. The most suitable criterion for analysing the
Year 11 interview data was found to be the changes in
assignment grades between Year 10 and Year 11. The criterion
was verified by analysing the attitudinal data. Changes in
attitude, based on relative grade changes, showed that the
most negative attitude changes occurred with students who
had obtained higher grades in Year 10 than they had in Year
11. The differences in grading practices between the high
schools and the secondary college meant that the majority of
students obtained lower grades in Year 11 than they did in
Year 10. Students were found to have a selective knowledge of
the assessment system with the most "academically successful"
students knowing more about the assessment system than the
"academically less successful". Two underlying constructs,
communication and realism, are used in an attempt to
explain the data. The approach of asking students about
assessment is recommended for use an evaluative tool in
curriculum development.

A College of Education Students' Attitudes Toward Selected International ProblemsHendijani, Bahram Kanani 12 1900 (has links)
An investigation of attitudes toward selected international problems and issues, and the relationship between attitudes and some independent variables was conducted among 234 graduate and undergraduate students in the College of Education at North Texas State University, Denton, Texas. Attitudes toward Chauvinism, World Government, Cooperation, War, and Human Rights were measured by thirty-two Likert-type items developed by Educational Testing Service. The 234 returned, useable responses were tabulated according to each attitude scale and educational level. The attitude scales enumerated above were all correlated with students' backgrounds, educational experiences, and political attitudes.

The relationship between individual variables and attitudes towards the personal use of computersWaddell, Christopher Duncan 04 1900 (has links)
In current times, to function successfully in the work environment, the ability to use a computer is essential. The introduction of computers into organisations has often met with resistance. The reason for this resistance
must be identified and overcome if businesses are to realise the productivity gains of full computer usage.
On the basis of the abovementioned problem the objective of this study is to test the relationship between age, sex, locus of control and personality type and attitudes toward computer use. A theoretical investigation was carried out to gather information on the variables under study which was used to compare with the results of the
empirical study. From this study of 68 white collar respondents from a financial institution it can, in general, be concluded that peoples' attitude toward the personal use of computers is positive and not affected by the individual variables tested. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M. Com. (Industrial Psychology)

The attitudes of L1-African language students towards the LOLT issue at UnisaBekker, Ian 28 February 2002 (has links)
Recent language policy developments at the University of South Africa (Unisa) indicate that the language attitudes of its students should be researched, particularly the attitudes of students who have an African language as their first language.
This study takes a first but solid step towards meeting this requirement. It conducts exploratory research into the nature of the relevant language attitudes and, based on the findings of this research, constructs an attitude scale that can be usefully employed in the measurement of such attitudes, both at Unisa and other tertiary institutions in South Africa.
In order to achieve its aims, the study places much emphasis on the use of proper methodology, in order to counteract the trend in much local language-attitude research of ignoring the complexity of language attitudes and avoiding methodologically sophisticated and rigorous statistical techniques that are equipped to accommodate such complexity. / Linguistics / M.A. (Linguistics)
