The Tanzanian education system is in transition from face  -to-face classroom learning to e-learning. E-learning  is a new learning approach in Tanzanian  Higher Learning Institutions [HLIs] and with teachers being the key stakeholders of all formal education, investigating their attitude towards e-learning is essential. So far, how  ever, there has been little consideration given to  research that examines teachers’ attitudes towards e-learning in Tanzanian HLIs and consequently, there is no standard attitude scale that has been developed to measure  this. This paper presents the development and validation of a scale of teachers’ attitude to e-learning. Whilst being initially developed to assess the attitude of teachers in  HLIs the authors belief, having piloted with pre-service trainee teachers in England that the scale transfers across  national boundaries. The final instrument contains 36 items with a Cronbach alpha score of 0.857. Although the developed attitude scale was intended for use in HLIs, it can also be of interest to researchers investigating attitudes on other sectors.
