Abstract

NFT technology such as the Metaverse, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality will change how educators teach and how students learn. NFT technology will also affect Lifelong Education. The study aimed to develop a scale of 25 items to measure how NFTs create a perception among teachers, providing a new understanding of art. For this purpose of the study, data were collected from 310 teachers (135 teacher samples for exploration and 175 teacher samples for confirmatory factor analysis) teaching in various cities of Turkey. The principal component analysis of the varimax rotation was used to obtain evidence for the scale’s validity. As a result of exploratory factor analyzes, three items were excluded from the survey because their item loads were coincident, and as a result, the scale was reduced to 22 items, and three sub-dimensions emerged. It has been determined that the scale has a structure composed of three factors: “NFT’s contribution to art and artists,” “NFT’s positive contribution to art,” and “NFT’s negative contribution to art.” It was observed that the item test correlation of the scale changed between 0.44-0.88. At the same time, cross-validation analysis was performed to determine whether the scale would produce the same results. When it was applied to similar groups as a result of cross-validation, it was observed that the same result could be obtained when the scale was applied to the same group. Apart from this, to give evidence in terms of the scale’s validity, the re-test and Crα reliabilities were calculated, and it was found to be 0.947.
