Öz Yeterlik İnancı Kaynaklarını Belirleme Ölçeğinin Ortaöğretim Öğrencilerine Uyarlanması

Abstract

Öz yeterlik inancı, bireyin bir işi gerçekleştirebilmek için yeteneklerine olan inancı ve güveni olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Eğitim alanında da öğrencilerin öz yeterlik inançlarının akademik başarılarına etki eden önemli bir duyuşsal özellik olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu bağlamda öğrencilerin öz yeterlik inançlarını besleyen kaynakların bilinmesinin öz yeterlik inançlarını ve dolayısıyla akademik başarılarını artırmada önemli bir rol oynayacağı söylenebilir. Alan yazın incelemesinde öğrencilerin İngilizce öz yeterlik inançları ve kaynaklarına ilişkin çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada ilköğretim öğrencileri için geliştirilen ‘Öz Yeterlik İnancı Kaynaklarını Belirleme Ölçeği’nin ortaöğretim öğrencilerine uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. Pilot çalışma 2015-2016 öğretim yılı bahar döneminde 304 ortaöğretim öğrencisi üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin ortaöğretim öğrencilerine uygun olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz neticesinde ölçeğin orijinal ölçekte olduğu gibi dört faktörlü yapıyı doğruladığı ve ölçek maddelerinin ayırt edicilik düzeylerinin oldukça yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca ölçeği oluşturan alt faktörlerin güvenilir sonuçlar verdiği tespit edilmiştir.

The Adaptation of the Scale of Determining the Sources of SelfEfficacy for Secondary School Students

Abstract

Self-efficacy can be defined as the belief about an individual's ability to perform a task. It is known that students’ self-efficacy beliefs are an important affective feature that influences their academic achievements in the field of education. Therefore, it can be said that knowing the sources that feed students' self-efficacy beliefs will play an important role in increasing their selfefficacy beliefs and thus their academic achievements. As a result of literature review, it is seen that the studies on self-efficacy beliefs and its sources are limited. In this study, it was aimed to adapt the "The Scale of Determining the Sources of SelfEfficacy Belief" developed for middle school students, for secondary school students. The pilot study of the scale was applied on 304 secondary students in the spring semester of 2015-2016 academic year. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine whether the scale is appropriate for secondary school students. As a result, the discriminatory levels of the items were found to be quite high. It was also found that the sub-dimensions forming the scale gave reliable results. Moreover, the new scale confirmed the four-factor structure as in the original scale
