Article Name : | | DEVELOPMENT AND STANDARDIZATION OF SELF- CONFIDENCE SCALE IN MATHEMATICS | Author Name : | | Ruchi Manchanda , Ramana Sood | Publisher : | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | Article Series No. : | | GRT-3494 | Article URL : | | | Author Profile View PDF In browser | Abstract : | | This paper explains the procedure of developing and standardizing a self-confidence scale in mathematics to measure the level of self-confidence in mathematics among school students falling in the age-group of 10-12 years. The scale has been constructed by using Likert's method of summation to obtain a five point judgement on each item. After critical study of the related literature of self-confidence, four dimensions viz. self-satisfaction, self-composed, optimism and self-belief were selected for construction of the scale. The final draft of scale consisted of 32 items. The reliability of the scale was calculated by split-half method and test-retest method. The scale had face validity, content validity as well as higher intrinsic validity. | Keywords : | | |
