Abstract
This paper explains the procedure of developing parental attitude scale constructed by the investigators to measure an attitude of parents towards homeschooling. The scale has been constructed by making use of Likert’s method of summation to get a three point judgement on each item. After reviewing many related studies done in the field of homeschooling both in India and in other countries, dimensions which were reported as positively or negatively related to homeschooling were selected for constructing the tool. A list of 72 items included both positive and negative items refer to the parental attitude towards homeschooling was drafted. After the drafting of scale it was analysed by various experts in different fields as well as on the basis of feedback obtained from 200parents both male and female from private schools of Amritsar city. The scale was reframed with 50 items in all. The newly constructed scale has content and face validity. Split-half method was used to find out the reliability which is 0.54. Standard scores were obtained. Various norms were also framed on the basis of which interpretation can be done.
