Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving Scale: Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Form
Abstract
This study aims to adapt the Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving Scale (MCPS) into Turkish and to examine the its validity and reliability. The study group consists of 357 university students. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test the construct validity of the scale, and it was seen that all the fit indices related to the original single-factor model were at an acceptable level. The factor loadings of the items in the scale ranged between .421 and .748. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient (α= .895), McDonald omega (ω= .896), and Composite Reliability (CR= .918) values were calculated to determine the internal consistency of the scale, and it was seen that the scale was reliable. The Average Variance Extracted (AVE= .508) value, which was examined for convergent validity, is within the acceptable limit and shows that the factor adequately explains the construct it measures. Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving Scale (MCPS) is positively and significantly correlated with the Marmara Creative Thinking Dispositions Scale and the Metacognitive Strategies subscale of the Motivation Strategies for Learning Scale. This finding indicates that the scale has criterion-related validity. As a result of the research, it was seen that the Turkish version of the Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
