“…As a result, a total of 69 items were selected for the item analysis. A similar method was used by Shruti et al, (2022) The selected 69 items were subjected to thirty-six dairy farmers of Kalapura village of block Shahgang in the non-sample area. Based on respondents' scores, the difficulty index and discrimination index were calculated.…”

The test was developed during in 2022 in the Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh state to measure farmers’ knowledge on management of parasitic infestation in dairy animals. A total number of 86 items were subjected to experts for relevancy testing and finally selected 69 items for the item analysis. These 69 items were pretested on 36 respondents from other than the study area. Based on the item analysis score, difficulty and discrimination index were calculated. The items with difficulty index ranging from 30 to 80, discrimination index above 0.3 were selected. Ultimately, 30 items were selected for the final knowledge test for dairy farmers on management of parasitic infestation. The reliability of the developed test was measured by using Cronbach’s alpha method and found to be 0.8. The overall test content validity index (CVI) was found to be 0.93 which considered fit for test. Thus, the reliability and validity of the current test indicate the consistency and precision of the results. The developed test will help in assessing the knowledge level of farmers regarding parasitic infestation management and accordingly, the awareness and training programs can be planned to enhance the knowledge level of farmers.

The measurement of attitudes is a critical endeavour in the realm of social and psychological research, enabling a deeper understanding of human behaviours, preferences, and beliefs. Constructing a reliable and valid scale to assess attitudes requires a systematic approach that encompasses various stages, such as conceptualization, item generation, scale refinement, pilot testing, psychometric analysis, and validation. A summated (Likert) rating scale was used to develop the scale. A total of 60 statements, consisting of 45 positive and 15 negative statements, were framed, of which 22 statements (19 positive and 3 negative) were retained in the final scale. The reliability of the scale was calculated by using the split-half method. The validity of the scale was tested by experts’ judgment. The psychometric properties of the scale include: the Pearson product-moment correlation between two sets was 0. 0.598; reliability of the test 0.748(P<0.01) and Cronbach = 0.759, which means the scale is consistent in measurement. This scale can be used to measure the attitude of students in similar situations outside the study area with suitable modifications.

Adoption behaviour for a particular technology is mainly affected by the attitude held by intended farmers towards it. The present study aimed at developing and standardizing attitude scale on Jalyukt Shivar Campaign based on Likert’s technique of summated rating. The steps included item collection, item edition and selection, relevancy test, item analysis and calculation of “t” value, testing reliability and validity. A total of 45 items (statements) were pooled initially covering various aspects of Jalyukt Shivar Campaign and were subjected to item relevancy checking to 90 experts through email, WhatsApp and handed over personally by visiting to the experts. Based on the 90 experts responses, 28 items were screened out for item analysis. The reliability of the scale was measured by using test-retest method and the reliability coefficient was found to be 0.88 which was satisfactory. The validity of the scale was examined with the help of content validity. The scale developed finally consisted of 27 items. This standardized scale can be used by academicians with or without modifications to measure attitude of farmers towards Jalyukt Shivar Campaign and other water conservation programmes.
