Abstract

This article presents the elaboration of a scale type likert to measure the attitudes of the students of Obligatory Secondary Education of the Spanish educative System. We made a brief analysis on about the attitude, the construction and application pilot of the scale and, the final application. We presented the characteristics of the used sample, the results of reliability and validity, discrimination and homogeneity of the items. The results show a scale formed by 19 items divided in two factors with a final reliability of α=.9706. These results surpass the obtained ones by Fennema and Sherman (1976), Sandman (1980), Watson (1983) and Robers (1980); and similars to those of Wise (1985) and Auzmendi (1991). Type of center, course and sex are also contributed to results of the application of the questionnaire to a sample of 1220 subjects with respect to the variables.
