Abstract

Bu çalışma ile ilköğretim okullarında öğretmen liderliği rollerinin ne düzeyde sergilendiğine yönelik algıların ve öğretmen liderliğine ilişkin beklentilerin ne düzeyde olduğuna ilişkin, geçerliği ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılmış bir ölçek geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları, Hatay ili merkez ilçesinde (Antakya) görev yapan 296’sı öğretmen ve 21’i yönetici olmak üzere toplam 317 kişiden toplanan veriler üzerinden yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler üzerinde yapılan işlemler sonunda, ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu belirlenmiştir. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi, ölçeğin üç faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu boyutlar “Kurumsal Gelişme”, “Mesleki Gelişim” ve “Meslektaşlarla İşbirliği” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Güvenirlik düzeyini belirlemek amacıyla elde edilen veriler üzerinden hesaplanan Cronbachalpha iç tutarlık katsayısı beklenti için “.93” algı için ise “.95”olarak hesaplanmıştır.Test-tekrar test analizlerinde, Pearson korelasyon katsayısı beklenti boyutu için “r=.80”, algı boyutu için ise “r=.87” olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ölçeğin mevcut haliyle ilköğretim okullarında öğretmen liderliğine ilişkin algı ve beklenti ölçümlerinde kullanılabileceği görülmüştür
