This study investigated the attitudes of grade 11 female students towards the study of
Physical Science in Mafikeng. Attitudinal measures, such as levels of student's interest
and the perceived utility of science, were examined. The subjects of the study included
grade 11 female students from selected high schools in the Mafikeng District.
A total of 300 female students participated in the study. A survey method was used in
this study. A questionnaire was administered to examine the perceptions and attitudes of
female students towards the study of Physical Science. A three-point
positive/neutral/negative scale was utilized in sections B. C. and Din order to encourage
students to make an attitude choice.
The research findings showed that the attitudes of grade 11 female students in the
selected high schools were affected by parents, teachers, peers, classroom environment,
personal perceptions and aspirations. / M. Ed. (Science Education) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2006
