Description
Summary:	This study intends to examine the university students’ attitude towards calculus and their perceptions of the learning environment. The study consists of two phases. First phase of this study focused on Turkish adaptation of the Attitude Towards Calculus Inventory developed by Huang and Lin (2015). All factors, self-confidence, value, enjoyment and motivation were identical to the original instrument. Cronbach’s alpha for the whole instrument was calculated as .88. Results of the study revealed that Attitude Towards Calculus Inventory was valid and reliable to use in Turkish culture. This research study revealed that students had a moderate level of attitude and perceptions of the learning environment in calculus courses. They hold a moderate view regarding their perceptions of the learning environment in calculus courses. There was a significant but weak relationship between students’ attitude toward calculus and their perceptions of the learning environment.
