Seven pairs of semantics (adjectives) with three positive trends (range value max. 3 → 1 min. = (+21 to +7)/7), three negative trends (range value max. −3 → −1 min. = (−21 to −7)/7) and one neutral trend (range value = 0/7) for problem solving, reading and writing in science were used, where all pairs weighted equal. We identified any value < 1 as either neutral or negative attitude of a student towards that specific attribute. | |||
