Validity and Reliability Study of Turkish Form of Epistemological Beliefs Scale

Abstract

In this study the validity and reliability study of epistemological beliefs scale developed by Schommer and adapted by Deryakulu and Büyüköztürk on 1242 Class, Turkish, Science and Social Sciences preservice teachers was explained. In exploratory faktor analysis it was found that three factor structure explained 45 % of total variance and Cartell, Velicer and Horn tests confirmed three factor structure. In confirmatory factor analysis the goodness-of-fit statistics to three factor structure were found good (RMSEA = 0.05, NFI = 0.95, NNFI = 0.96, GFI = 0.90, AGFI = 0.88, CFI = 0.96). The alfa internal consistency coefficients were found as 0.88 for effort, 0.88 for ability and 0.85 for single truth subdimensions. As a result of all analyses, the scale was found valid and reliable with three factor structure and some recommendations were made for weak items.
