Abstract
The Attitudes Toward Science Scale (Francis & Greer, 1999) was examined from an attitude versus beliefs perspective. We found that this instrument to manifest a multi-dimensional structure measuring two different factors: student attitudes toward science and their beliefs about science. Further, this study illustrated the importance of distinguishing between students’ attitudes toward and their beliefs about science and recommends measuring beliefs independently from attitudes.
