  • Academic Aspiration Scale

    The Academic Aspiration Scale (AAS) consists of 21 items. The scale includes the dimensions of aspiration for advancement, inspiration toward school, achievement motivation, enjoyment of school and life, and importance of school.

  • Critical Thinking Disposition Scale

    The Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS) is a 30-item measurement instrument. During scoring, positively worded items are rated from 1 to 5, whereas negatively worded items are coded using reverse scoring from 5 to 1. The total possible scores on the scale range from 30 to 150, with higher scores indicating a higher level of critical thinking disposition.
