Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Nadelson ve diğerleri (2014) tarafından geliştirilen “Trust in Science and Scientists Inventory”nin ortaokul öğrencilerinin anlayabileceği sadelikte Türkçe’ye uyarlanmasıyla elde edilen “Bilime ve Bilim İnsanlarına Güven Ölçeği”nin geçerlik- güvenirlik çalışması yapılmıştır. Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi sonucunda toplam 16 madde içeren iki faktörlü ölçeğin açıkladığı toplam varyans %57,442 olarak bulunmuştur. Faktörlerin içsel tutarlılıklarının hesaplanmasında Cronbach α değerleri kullanılmıştır (bu değerler sırasıyla 0,928; 0,814). Ölçeğin tamamı için Cronbach α iç tutarlık katsayısı 0,822 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ardından Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi yapılarak iki faktörlü modelin verilerle uyum gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları Türkçe’ye uyarlanan ölçeğin, eğitim alanında ortaokul öğrencilerine yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.

Adaptation of "Trust in Science and Scientists Scale" into Turkish: Validity-Reliability Study

Abstract

This study investigates the validity and reliability of the scale which was obtained by adapting the "Trust in Science and Scientists Inventory" developed by Nadelson et al. into Turkish simplified for middle school students to understand. As a result of the Exploratory Factor Analysis, the total variance accounted for by the two-factor scale containing a total of 16 items was found 57.442%. Cronbach α values were used to calculate the internal consistency of the factors (0.928 and 0.814, respectively). The Cronbach α internal consistency coefficient for the whole scale was calculated as 0.822. Then, Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggested that the two-factor model was compatible with the data. The results of the study show that the scale adapted into Turkish is a valid and reliable educational measurement tool for middle school students.
