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.

Epistemolojik İnançlar Ölçeği Türkçe Formunun Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Year 2017, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 1166 - 1188, 30.10.2017

Abstract

Bu makalede epistemolojik inançları ortaya koyan ve Schommer
tarafından geliştirilen İngilizce ölçeğin Deryakulu ve Büyüköztürk tarafından
gerçekleştirilen Türkçe uyarlamasının, Fen Bilgisi, Sosyal Bilgiler, Türkçe ve
Sınıf Öğretmenliği bölümlerinden 1242 öğretmen adayı üzerinde geçerlik ve
güvenirliğinin test edilmesi süreci anlatılacaktır. Açımlayıcı faktör
analizinde üç faktörlü yapının toplam varyansın % 45’ini açıkladığı ve Cartell,
Velicer ve Horn testlerinin üç faktörlü yapıyı doğruladığı bulunmuştur.
Doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde üç faktörlü yapıya uyum parametreleri iyi
seviyede (RMSEA = 0.05, NFI = 0.95, NNFI = 0.96, GFI = 0.90, AGFI = 0.88, CFI =
0.96) bulunmuştur. Üç faktörlü yapıda alt boyutlar için alfa iç tutarlılık
güvenirlik katsayıları çaba alt boyutu için 0.88, yetenek alt boyutu için 0.88
ve tek bir doğru alt boyutu için 0.85 olarak bulunmuştur. Tüm analizler
sonucunda ölçeğin üç boyutlu yapıda geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu gösterilmiş ve
zayıf bulunan maddeler için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
