Abstract
The present study aims to develop “Attitude Scale towards English Course” for determining 6th grade students’ attitude towards English Course. This study is a descriptive study that aims to develop a scale for determining students’ attitude towards English course. The researchers also investigated how to develop it and to determine the psychometric properties (validity-reliability) of it. Two groups were employed for this study. They were “Exploratory Factor Analysis and Reliability Group” and “Confirmatory Factor Analysis Group”. The analysis of the study showed that the scale was a valid and reliable tool. Item-total correlations in the scale were found between .378 and .692. The variance of the two factors appeared as a result of varimax rotation method explained 58%. This value is regarded acceptable for the scale development studies in social sciences. It was seen in the “exploratory factor analysis” that the scale had two factors. The study results revealed that this scale was an appropriate instrument to determine 6th students’ attitude towards English course.
