description | A systematic review of the psychometric properties of 15 attitudes towards science instruments published between 2004 and 2016, identified in the Web of Science Core Collection and Science Direct databases following the PRISMA criteria, is reported. Overall, the quality of most examined instruments continues to be worrying due to an almost generalized absence of adoption of a theoretical framework for item development and due to a scarce and inadequate analysis of their psychometric properties. These findings calls into question the validity and reliability of the tools examined and highlight the need to adopt more rigorous methodological designs for the development of attitude toward science measurement strategies. |
