Validity and Reliability of Student Engagement Scale (Öğrenci Bağlılık Ölçeğinin Geçerlik ve Güvenirliği).....Doi: 10.14686/BUEFAD.201428190
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a student engagement scale (SES) and determine its validity and reliability. Factor analysis and reliability studies were conducted using data on 400 high-school and middle-school adolescent students (239 females, 161 males). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the structural validity of the scale accounted for 46.74% of the total variance, with 31 items clustered in 3 factors. In the process of naming three subscales, the content of the items and the literature were taken into consideration. Following a review of the literature, the explored factors were emotional, behavioral, and cognitive engagement. To test the validity of the instrument, a school climate scale was used and correlation of .51 (p<.001) was concluded. The Cronbach’s alpha were .88 for emotional, behavioral and .83 for cognitive subscales-ranged alpha values. After an interval of three weeks, a result of the test-retest correlation coefficient was found to be .77 (p<.001). There were a significant difference in the upper 27% and lower 27% groups in the SES
