Construction of scale for measuring attitude of students towards academic environment

Due to the non-availability of a proper scale to measure students’ attitude towards academic environment, it was thought necessary to construct a scale for the purpose. For this purpose an attempt was made to develop a scale for measuring the students attitude towards academic environment. Method of summated raring scale by Likert was used. Seventeen statements were selected from 31 statements for which t-values with highest values were worked out ie with t-values more than 1.75 with equal number of both positive and negative statements.
