| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the attitudes of grade 11 female students towards the study of Physical Science in Mafikeng. Attitudinal measures, such as levels of student's interest and the perceived utility of science, were examined. The subjects of the study included grade 11 female students from selected high schools in the Mafikeng District. A total of 300 female students participated in the study. A survey method was used in this study. A questionnaire was administered to examine the perceptions and attitudes of female students towards the study of Physical Science. A three-point positive/neutral/negative scale was utilized in sections B. C. and Din order to encourage students to make an attitude choice. The research findings showed that the attitudes of grade 11 female students in the selected high schools were affected by parents, teachers, peers, classroom environment, personal perceptions and aspirations. | en_US |
