The undeniable role of teachers in education has come to a more critical point today with the developing world. From this point of view, it can be said that the effects of digital teachers' qualifications on education are quite high. This huge impact makes digital competencies even more important for teachers. In this study, it is aimed to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure digital teacher competencies. The Digital Teacher Competency Scale (DTCS) consists of 20 items and 4 sub-dimensions: resource development, communication and cooperation, security and evaluation. Findings regarding the construct validity of the scale were obtained by factor analysis. In order to reveal the findings regarding the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was taken into account and it was determined that the scale is a valid and reliable according to the analyzes made.

DİJİTAL ÖĞRETMEN YETERLİLİK ÖLÇEĞİ GELİŞTİRME: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Öğretmenlerin eğitimde ki yadsınamaz rolü, gelişen dünya ile beraber günümüzde daha kritik bir noktaya gelmiştir. Buradan hareketle, dijital öğretmenlerin sahip oldukları yeterliliklerin eğitime etkisi oldukça yüksektir denebilir. Bu büyük etki dijital yeterlilikleri öğretmenler için daha önemli bir hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada dijital öğretmen yeterliliklerini ölçmeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Dijital Öğretmen Yeterlilik Ölçeği (DÖYÖ) 20 madde, kaynak geliştirme, iletişim ve iş birliği, güvenlik ve değerlendirme olmak üzere 4 alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğine ilişkin bulgular yapılan faktör analizi ile elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirliğine yönelik bulguların ortaya konabilmesi için Cronbach Alpha kat sayısı dikkate alınmış ve yapılan analizlere göre ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
