Adaptation of Motivation and Self-Regulation Towards Technology Learning Scale (MSRTL) to Turkish: Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

This study was carried out in order to adapt “The Motivation and Self-regulation towards Technology Learning (MSRTL) scale which was developed by Liou and Kuo (2014). One thousand three hundred and ninety-four students including 759 girls and 635 boys participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, dependent t-test and Pearson correlation analysis was performed during the data-analysis. As a result the reliability and validity studies of the Turkish version of MSRTL which was developed by Liou and Kuo (2014) and consisted of seven factors and 39 items were conducted. It was stated that the seven factors, 37 items version of the scale was valid and reliable and it can be used in Turkey in cultural aspect. The internal consistency coefficient which was calculated for each factor on the scale and varied between .76 and .84 was an important result in terms of the scale’s reliability.

Teknoloji Öğrenimine Karşı Motivasyon ve Öz-düzenleme Ölçeği’nin (TÖMÖD) Türkçe’ye Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Liou ve Kuo (2014) tarafından geliştirilen “Teknoloji Öğrenimine Karşı Motivasyon ve Öz-düzenleme (TÖMÖD)” ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye uyarlanması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya 1394 öğrenci (759 kız ve 635 erkek) katılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, bağımlı t-testi ve pearson korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak Liou ve Kuo (2014) tarafından yedi faktör 39 madde olarak geliştirilen “TÖMÖD” ün Türkçeye uyarlanarak geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapılmış, ölçeğin yedi faktör 37 maddelik halinin kültürel açıdan Türkiye’de kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu belirlenmiştir. AFA analizi sonucu ölçeğin toplam varyansın %57.66’sını açıkladığını göstermiştir. Ölçekteki her bir faktör için hesaplanan ve .76 ile.84 aralığında değişen iç tutarlılık katsayıları ölçeğin güvenilir olduğunu göstermesi açısından önemli sonuçlardır.
