Scale Development Study for Willingness to Obtain Legal Power

Abstract

The main purpose of the research is to develop a valid and reliable scale for the perception of the desire to obtain legal authority in education administration. The sampling of the research consists of 390 education administrators and teachers with different statuses. Using the easily accessible sampling technique, the types of official primary, secondary and different high schools in the central province of Van were determined. The scale draft was applied to the education administrators and teachers determined by using the purposeful cluster sampling method. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis methods. Validity analyzes and reliability analyzes of the obtained data were made. As a result of the analysis, the scale consisted of 4 factors and 32 items, and item factor loads consisted of values between “.61” and “.87”. It was determined that the resulting factors explained the perception of obtaining legal power by 77.46%. The fit index values of the scale reveals that the scale provides construct validity. While the scale's internal consistency coefficient was found to be ".95", the test-retest reliability coefficient was determined as ".92". The findings show that the developed scale can be used as a measurement tool with its validity and reliability.
