New Developed Problem Screening Inventory (Sample from Faculty of Vocational Education)
Abstract
College students face with different problems during their education. A number of studies has been conducted to provide solutions with these problems from past to present. However, the scales used for these studies need to be renewed to underline students’ current problems and be improved in terms of validity and realibility qualities. The aim of this study is to develop a new problem screening inventory to determine current problems of college students. For this reason, the data was collected from sophomore and senior students studying in Faculty of Vocational Education at Gazi University. The problem screening inventory, for which explority and conformity factor analyses were used, has seven subscales: physical learning environment, university/faculty services, teaching-learning process, future work life, family relationships, social/friendship relationships, and personal perception and emotional condition.
