| Abstract | Researchers have found that students in the United States display little interest in mathematics and science as early as the sixth grade. Multiple studies have established that elementary students' interest in these subjects is not only low but also decreases further throughout middle school and high school. Few studies have investigated students' interest in mathematics and science during the elementary years. Mathematics and science are essential subjects for future engineers and scientists, and the U.S. is experiencing a shortage in college students who are majoring in these fields. Understanding the attitudes of elementary students toward mathematics and science is essential to understanding the lack of interest students have in these subjects later in their education. This paper describes the development and the on-going validation of an assessment instrument that is designed to measure elementary student attitudes with respect to mathematics and science. Expert review and a factor analysis have been used in the development of the instrument, and subsequent results are reported. Additionally, this paper examines differences among elementary students' attitudes toward mathematics and science with respect to grade level and gender. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
