Results
In this study, descriptive statistic analysis, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used to analyze data. A descriptive analysis indicated that primary students have a high motivation to learn science (X=3.90; SD=0.51) and positive attitudes toward science (X=3.89; SD=0.69). In order to find out whether there was a significant difference between female and male mean scores of the selected variables, independent t-tests were carried out. The results are shown in Table 3.
