The authors examined the reliability and factorial validity of the Computer Attitude Scale and its three subscales (Computer Liking, Computer Confidence, and Computer Anxiety) with 155 eighth-through twelfth-grade students.Abstract:
As computer-related programs are introduced into school curricula, it is helpful to evaluate student attitudes which may affect the success of such programs This study, involving 155 eighth-through twelfth-grade students, examines the reliability and factorial validity of the Computer Attitude Scale and its three subscales (Computer Liking, Computer Confidence, and Computer Anxiety) The data suggest that this instrument is an effective, reliable, and convenient means of measuring student attitudes toward learning about and using computersread more

Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scales: Instruments Designed to Measure Attitudes Toward the Learning of Mathematics by Females and Males.
TL;DR: Dvergsten et al. as discussed by the authors studied the effect of the use of advance organizers combined with guided discovery on achievement and retention in high school biology, and found that an advance organizer, a post-organizer, or knowledge of a behavioral objective had a significant effect on the retention of a mathematical concept.
