Pupils' Attitude Toward Technology (PATT-USA)
Description
In 1984, research was begun in The Netherlands to determine the attitude toward and concept of technology held by students aged 12-15 years. An instrument was developed and a large scale sample was taken in that country. In 1987, Dr. William E. Dugger from VA Tech attended a conference of persons working with PATT and suggested the replication of the PATT study in the United States.
The PATT-USA instrument contains four parts. The first asks for a short description of what the student thinks technology is; the second part consists of eleven questions to gather demographic data about the respondents; in the third part 57 statements are included to assess attitude toward technology; and the fourth part is comprised of 31 items related to technology concepts.
