摘要
Evolution theory is one of the most debate topics in science teaching because the theory doesn't clarify diversity of livings, similarities and differences amid livings physical, chemical and biological changes of the world. The study aims to introduce "Teaching Evolution Theory Attitude Questionnaire" developed by researcher. Validity and Reliability of the Questionary was carried out with 273 preservice teachers, 152 male and 121 females. 5. Point likert type scale, having 30 items, which is composed for this purpose, was used as the assessment instrument. Collecting data were analyzed with SPSS program and validity and form of scale was examined with factor analysis. Consequently, it has been confirmed that the scale may be used confidently to determine attitudes toward teaching of Evolution Theory. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
