Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a data collection tool to determine the self-efficacy perceptions of 4th grade students in reading comprehension.

The study was designed in the survey model. The process for the development of appropriate measuring tool has been systematically monitored. For the scope validity of the scale, the relevant theorotical field was screened and expert opinions were consulted. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to determine the construct validity of the scale. In one-dimensional structure, Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale consisting of triple likert type and 29 items was determined as .918 According to these findings, it can be said that the scale measures the self-efficacy perceptions of the 4th grade students in reading comprehension, validly and reliably.
