Abstract

Purpose: Measuring and understanding academics’attitudes towards adapting the use of tablets intoteaching seem necessary because there is a need for control of attitudes before making decisions on tablet use in teaching. The purpose of this study was to develop a standard attitude scale towards tablet use in teaching. Research Methods: Five judges contributed in developing items for tablet use in higher education after a review of the relatedliterature. 152 volunteer faculty members of highereducation around the world participated in thestudy.To provide evidence of validity for the scale, item total correlation coefficients were computedby using SPSS 16.0. Kaiser-Meyer Olkin (KMO) coefficient for the sampling adequacy of thedata for principal components analysis, and the principal components factor analysis wereemployed to determine the factor loadings of the items. A confirmatory factor analysis wasalso employed to support the structure of the scale. For the reliability of the scale, Cronbach’salpha (Crα) calculations were made. Findings: Item analysis showed that the 20-item scalehad three factors comprising 71.848 percent of the total variance with Eigen values of 14.286,2.378, and 2.019. Item validity values ranged between .43 and .65. The internal consistency ofthe scale was calculated as .88. Implications for Research and Practice: The results indicatethat the attitudes towards tablet use in teaching can be measured in a valid and reliablemanner before making institution-wise or country-wise decisions. Implementation of the scalein local and international levels to better understand the concerns and attitudes of academicscan be recommended
