Measurement of pupil attitudes can be influenced by the pupil's ability and motivation to read, particularly for those students whose ability is below average. To obtain a valid measure of sixth grade pupil attitudes as they related to Family Life education, the reading factor needed to be eliminated as much as possible. A test utilizing situational transparencies combined with a machine-scorable semantic differential instrument was devised. This method for measuring attitudes was tested on sixth grade pupils, checked by individual pupil interviews, and subjected to a series of factor analyses. The pupils responded favorably to the method used, and willingly indicated varying attitudes concerning the situations which were presented. (Author/CK)
