Abstract

The aim of this study is to adapt the New Teacher Possible Selves Questionnaire that was developed by Hamman et al. (2013) into Turkish and to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. In this context, the scale was translated into Turkish by a group of specialists and a study was conducted in order to provide the linguistic equivalence between original form and translated form. After that, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in order to test the construct validity. Data from 326 final year student teachers were used in the analysis. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis suggested that model can be considered a good fit. Furthermore, the internal consistency reliability of scale factors was assesed. In conclusion, it can be said that the adapted version of New Teacher Possible Selves Questionnaire is a valid and reliable measure which can be used on student teachers in Turkey

“ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARI OLASI BENLİKLER ÖLÇEĞİ”Nİ TÜRKÇE’YE UYARLAMA ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Hamman ve diğerleri (2013) tarafından geliştirilen “Öğretmen Adayları Olası Benlikler Ölçeği”nin (New Teacher Possible Selves Questionnaire) Türkçe’ye uyarlanarak geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin incelenmesidir. Bu bağlamda öncelikle bir uzman grubu tarafından ölçeğin Türkçe’ye çevirisi gerçekleştirilmiş ardından dilsel eşdeğerlik çalışması yapılmıştır. Dilsel eşdeğerliği sağlanan ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini test etmek amacıyla eğitim fakültesi son sınıf öğrencisi 326 öğretmen adayından toplanan verilerle doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri sonucunda ölçek yapılarının doğrulandığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca ölçek faktörlerinin iç tutarlık güvenirlik katsayıları da incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Türkçe’ye uyarlanan “Öğretmen Adayları Olası Benlikler Ölçeği” nin Türkiye’deki öğretmen adayları üzerinde uygulanabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu kanıtlanmıştır.
