The Colorado learning attitudes about science survey (CLASS) was given to 308 high school physics students in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where physics is taught every year through middle and high school. Student responses were tested using several different latent factor models: two based on those published in the recent literature and two new models developed through exploratory factor analysis. Four subscales containing 25 of the original CLASS items were found to be internally reliable and cross-culturally valid. These are Conceptual Connections, Personal Interests, Sense-Making/Effort , and Personal Application and Relation to the Real World. Scores on Conceptual Connections correlated significantly with grade level; Sense-Making correlated most with exam scores; and Personal Applications and Relation to Real World scale best differentiated males and females, where males score significantly higher. Our findings are compared to those in previous int...

用科罗拉多州对科学调查的学习态度来调查哈萨克族高中学生对物理学和学习的态度和信念

科罗拉多州对科学调查（CLASS）的学习态度已授予哈萨克斯坦阿拉木图市的308名高中物理学生，那里每年从初中到高中都教授物理。使用几种不同的潜在因子模型对学生的反应进行了测试：两种基于最新文献中的潜在因子模型，以及两种通过探索性因子分析开发的新模型。发现包含25个原始CLASS项目的四个子量表在内部是可靠的，并且在跨文化范围内有效。这些是概念上的联系，个人兴趣，理性/努力，个人应用以及与现实世界的关系。概念联系的分数与年级水平显着相关；感觉制造与考试成绩相关性最高；以及“个人应用和与现实世界的关系”量表能够最好地区分男性和女性，其中男性得分明显更高。我们的发现与以前的发现进行了比较。
