Technological literacy correlates with attitude towards technology. When measuring technological literacy as an outcome of education, the attitudinal dimension has to be taken into account. This requires a valid, reliable instrument that should be as concise as possible, in order to use it in correlation with other instruments. The PATT instrument as developed in the nineties is an extensive survey that hasn’t been revalidated over the last three decades. The Pupils’Attitudes Towards Technology (PATT) instrument was reconstructed and revalidated. The validation study was done in two major steps. First a pilot study with 250 students, followed by a main study with 3000 students. Different factors of the instrument were analysed on their internal consistency. Also the goodness of fit indices of the complete model were checked in a confirmatory factor analysis. This resulted in an instrument with six subfactors and 24 items of attitude towards technology. The six factors are Career Aspirations, Interest in Technology, Tediousness of Technology, Positive Perception of Effects of Technology, Perception of Difficulty and Perception of Technology as a Subject for Boys or for Boys and Girls. The instrument is easy to use, reliable and validated. It opens a door to further research and evaluation of technology education.  \nKey words  \nattitude measurement, technology education, technological literacy  \nIntroduction  \nIn western countries technology, defined as any modification of the natural world done to fulfill human needs or desires, is gaining more interest as a subject in the school curricula. Different nations are investing in the development of teaching programs, research, and the establishing of platforms for the promotion of technology:  \ne.g. the American National Assessment Governing Board is making a framework for Technology and Engineering Literacy in 2014 (National Assessment Governing Board, 2011); in May 2011 the Design and Technology Association of the United Kingdom wrote a manifesto to enlighten the importance of Design and Technology in the National Curriculum (Green, 2011); in the Netherlands a platform for Beta-science is established aiming to achieve a structural increase of 15% more  \npupils and students in scientific and technical education (Stichting Platform Bèta Techniek, 2004); and in many other countries governments are changing the national curriculum to add more technology into the comprehensive curriculum for students.  \nAlthough industries and policy makers think technology education is far more relevant these days than it was ever before, the public opinion about studying technology and technical jobs is not very positive (Johansson, 2009) . The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) report on student interest in Science and Technology (S&T) Studies (OECD, 2008) states that although absolute numbers of S&T students have been rising, the relative share of S&T students among the overall student population has been falling. The report shows that encouraging interest in S&T studies requires actions to improve the image and knowledge of S&T careers. A report ordered by the department of education of the Flemish ministry (Van den Berghe, 2006) concludes that the image of technological studies and professions is rather low and that this contradicts the enthusiasm young people have for new technologies.  \nThis negative image is strengthened by some prejudices like: the working conditions in industrial environments are not interesting or even boring; and that these jobs imply hard and dirty labour, combined with moderate payment and bad hours. Moreover people tend to think that science and technology are","cbCaitZvNOcxnNrX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitZvNOcxnNrX","pdf",194081,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Key words\n# Introduction\n# Design and Technology Education: An International Journal","[{\"question\":\"Why is attitude measurement important when studying technological literacy?\",\"answer\":\"Technological literacy correlates with attitude toward technology, so attitude must be measured using a valid and reliable instrument to serve as an educational outcome.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the PATT instrument reconstructed and revalidated?\",\"answer\":\"The validation occurred in two steps: a pilot study with 250 students and a main study with 3000 students, followed by analyses of internal consistency and confirmatory factor analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What structure did the revalidated instrument produce?\",\"answer\":\"The final instrument contains six subfactors and 24 items covering career aspirations, interest, perceived tediousness, positive perceived effects, perceived difficulty, and perceptions of technology as a subject for boys or for boys and girls.\"}]","Reconstructing the Pupils Attitude Towards Technology-survey | PDF",1792091026]
