Description

The Inventory of Teaching and Learning Survey (ITAL) was created to measure intent to persist, confidence in learning, attitudes towards success, perceived usefulness of knowledge and motivation to succeed in a STEM domain. This instrument was developed to reflect core observation and assessment concepts reflect in the Reform Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) (Sawada, Pibum, Turly, Falconer, Benford, & Judson). derived from the Fennema-Sherman mathematics attitudes scales (Fennema, 1976), modified to reflect biotechnology rather than mathematics.The survey consists of a series of 52 positive and negative statements, each rated on a 6-point Likert scale.
