La medida de las actitudes usando las técnicas de Likert y de diferencial semántico

Abstract

We have established a comparison between two popular methods to assess the attitude toward experimental sciences: The summated rating method, generally known as the Likert scale; and the semantic differential method. This study is carried out with university students of chemistry and high school students, finding that both attitude measuring techniques are equally suitable in our educative system. Moreover, the sex variable is not significant.
