Abstract

AbstractThis study investigated relationships among secondary teachers’ attitude toward and knowledge of educational research and selected demographic characteristics of the sample. A sample of 204 teachers voluntarily completed a knowledge of educational research test, a semantic differential attitude inventory, and a personal data form. Using ANOVA, it was concluded that: 1.) knowledge and attitude scores are related to subject area taught; 2.) knowledge scores are related to subject area taught, recency of course work in educational research, measurement, or statistics, and research participation; 3.) attitude and knowledge scores are unrelated to the sex of the teacher, years of teaching experience, and grade level taught; and 4.) the correlation between knowledge and attitude scores is not significantly different from zero.
