Attitude towards science has been a focus of study for many educational researchers and it ultimately helps to explore the aspects that can be intervened to enhance the students' attitude towards science because a relationship has been reported between students' attitude and science achievement. The variation in results reported by studies regarding attitude towards science and science learning reflect that the demographic variables might have influential effect on attitudes towards science and science learning. The purpose of this study was to explore the Pakistani students' attitude towards science learning. A scale regarding attitude towards science learning (AtSL) with Cronbach's alpha 0.86 was administered to 1233 students of 37 government schools of three districts. The results of this study reflect that attitude towards science learning increases with increase in grade of the students; and female students had higher attitude towards science learning than male students. Paternal education, occupation and students' locality seems to causes no significant difference in attitudes towards science learning of students whereas maternal education and occupation cause significant difference in attitudes towards learning of science.

The research into how students’ attitudes affect their learning of science related subjects has been one of the core areas of interest by science educators. The development in science education records various attempts in measuring attitudes and determining the correlations between behavior, achievements, career aspirations, gender identity and cultural inclination. Some researchers noted that attitudes can be learned and teachers can encourage students to like science subjects through persuasion. But some view that attitude is situated in context and has much to do with upbringing and environment. The critical role of attitude is well recognized in advancing science education, in particular designing curriculum and choosing powerful pedagogies and nurturing students. Since Noll’s (1935) seminal work on measuring the scientific attitudes, a steady stream of research papers describing the development and validation of scales have appeared in scholarly publications. Despite these efforts, the progress in this area has been stagnated by limited understanding of the conception of attitude, dimensionality and inability to determine the multitude of variables that made up such concept. This book makes an attempt to take stock and critically examine classical views on science attitudes and explore contemporary attempts in measuring science-related attitudes. The chapters in this book are a reflection of researchers who work tirelessly in promoting science education and highlight the current trends and future scenarios in attitude measurement.

An argument that what makes science distinctive is its emphasis on evidence and scientists' willingness to change theories on the basis of new evidence. Attacks on science have become commonplace. Claims that climate change isn't settled science, that evolution is “only a theory,” and that scientists are conspiring to keep the truth about vaccines from the public are staples of some politicians' rhetorical repertoire. Defenders of science often point to its discoveries (penicillin! relativity!) without explaining exactly why scientific claims are superior. In this book, Lee McIntyre argues that what distinguishes science from its rivals is what he calls “the scientific attitude”—caring about evidence and being willing to change theories on the basis of new evidence. The history of science is littered with theories that were scientific but turned out to be wrong; the scientific attitude reveals why even a failed theory can help us to understand what is special about science. McIntyre offers examples that illustrate both scientific success (a reduction in childbed fever in the nineteenth century) and failure (the flawed “discovery” of cold fusion in the twentieth century). He describes the transformation of medicine from a practice based largely on hunches into a science based on evidence; considers scientific fraud; examines the positions of ideology-driven denialists, pseudoscientists, and “skeptics” who reject scientific findings; and argues that social science, no less than natural science, should embrace the scientific attitude. McIntyre argues that the scientific attitude—the grounding of science in evidence—offers a uniquely powerful tool in the defense of science.

Science educators have included the development of scientific attitude among the general aims of science education since the beginning of the present century. To many science educators, a man with scientific attitude looks for the natural causes of events, is open-minded towards the work and opinion of others and towards information related to his problem, forms opinion and conclusions on adequate evidence, evaluates techniques and procedures used and information obtained, and is curious concerning the things he observes. Contents: Introduction, Related Literature, Research Design, Data Analysis, Summary, Conclusions and Discussion.

First published in 1941 (this edition in 1968), this book explores the relationship between science, culture, and society- focusing on human beings, and human communities. Here, C. H. Waddington uses the concept of science to mean more than factual information about genes and haemoglobin and his subject is the effect of scientific ways of speaking on the ways in which people look at the world around them. The work discusses biological assumptions made by various communities, particularly fascist movements, on human beings and compares them with the scientific attitude. The Nazis for instance spoke about ‘racial purity’ and ‘German blood’ but these expressions, whilst arousing emotion, had, and have, no rational meaning- they are inaccurate and tell us nothing of human genetics. As well as presenting a scientific argument, being published initially in 1941, this book also acts as a historical document, conveying some of the feeling of living through WWII. It highlights the fact that science and scientific assumptions have very wide implications for the whole conduct of life.

This study is carried out to examine the variation of attitudes towards science over Eighth Grade students in Malaysia. The study attempts to identify the determinants which affect students' attitude towards science using data from Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) conducted in 2007. At total of 4466 students were involved in this study. Students' attitude towards science are represented by indices and classified into three different index categories. The indices are Index of Students'Positive Affect Towards Science (PATS), Index of Student's Self-Confidence in learning Science (SCS) and also Index of Student's Valuing Science (SVS). According to the results of this study, achievement in science and frequent use of computers to do science homework are significantly associated with all the three categories of attitude. Student who spoke the language of the test at home more frequently had higher level of positive affect than the student who less spoke the language of the test at home. While, students whose mother with higher education level had lower positive affect compared to students whose mother with lower education level.
