    Summary

    Behaviorally disordered students reported less favorable attitudes toward testing compared to their average peers. This finding aligns with prior research on student attitudes and academic performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Student attitudes toward academic achievement testing can influence performance.
    • Previous research indicates potential differences in attitudes between students with behavioral disorders and their peers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the test attitudes of behaviorally disordered students with those of average students.
    • To investigate if behaviorally disordered students report significantly different attitudes after standardized achievement testing.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 48 behaviorally disordered students and 48 average students participated.
    • Participants completed a test attitude survey immediately following district-wide standardized achievement testing.

    Main Results:

    • Results indicated that behaviorally disordered students reported poorer attitudes toward the achievement tests.
    • The findings were consistent with existing literature suggesting a negative attitude-performance link in this population.

    Conclusions:

    • Behaviorally disordered students may exhibit more negative attitudes towards standardized achievement testing.
    • Educational interventions should consider student attitudes as a factor in academic engagement and outcomes for behaviorally disordered students.
