Abstract
The major objective of this research was to find out attitude of students towards science and
its relationship with achievement score at intermediate level. The sample comprised of 3,960
intermediate science (pre-medical) students selected from different higher secondary schools
and colleges in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. An Urdu translation of the Test of ScienceRelated Attitude (TOSRA) was used to measure the science related attitude of students. The
achievement score of respective students was obtained from the 12th grade results of different
Boards in Punjab. The Internal Consistency of the instrument was calculated using Cronbach
Alpha Reliability Coefficient. Factor Analysis with Varimax Rotation was used to examine
the internal structure of the TOSRA. Simple correlation (r), multiple correlation analysis and
standardized regression coefficients (β) were used to investigate the relationship between
students’ attitude with their achievement score. The results revealed that science related
attitude had a significant and positive relationship with the achievement score of science
students.
