Hsiao-Ching SHE

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the “Teacher-Student Interaction Questionnaire” (TSIQ) and to investigate the association among teacher-student interactions, students’ attitude toward science, and students’ science academic achievement. According to our results, the TSIQ reached satisfactory levels of reliability and validity based on factor analyses and student interviews. Student scores on the first four scales correlated highly with their attitude toward science and science academic achievement scores. The study results suggest that by using both teacher and student version of TSIQ, science teachers will be able to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between their interactions with students in the science classroom especially as they relate to the promotion of creative thinking and problem solving in the science classroom.

Keywords: Teacher-Student Interaction Questionnaire (TSIQ); secondary science classroom learning environment; science attitude; science academic achievement
