Abstract

Facey-Shaw and Golding (2005) found that attitude plays an important role in students’ academic performance. In this study we use a tripartite model, according to which attitude has a cognitive, an affective, and behavioural components (Eagly & Chaiken, 1998). Using this model, we have constructed an appropriate Calculus Attitude Questionnaire I (CAQ I). We used equivalent forms to measure the reliability of this questionnaire. This instrument was administered to 82 randomly selected engineering students from different faculties at Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP). After collecting the data, we analyzed it using SPSS software. In this paper we present and discuss relationship between students’ performance in Calculus and their attitudes toward Calculus in these three categories.
