Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the digital literacy self-efficacy level of pre-service teachers. In accordance with this purpose,  a likert type “Pre-service Teachers’ Digital Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale” was developed. The sample of this study consists of 334 pre-service teachers who are studying at education faculty of a university in the Aegean Region. The Cronbach-Alpha was found as 0.961. Total variance of 53% was explained. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the construct validity of the four – dimensional scale. As a result of the study, a valid and reliable scale was developed to determine the digital literacy self-efficacy level of pre-service teachers.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Dijital Okuryazarlık Öz-Yeterliliği Ölçek Geliştirme Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı öğretmen adaylarının dijital okur-yazarlık öz-yeterliliğini belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda “Öğretmen Adaylarının Dijital Okur-yazarlık Öz-yeterliliği Ölçeği (ÖADOÖÖ)” olarak adlandırılan likert tipi bir ölçek geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini Ege Bölgesinde bir üniversitenin Eğitim Fakültesinde öğrenim gören toplam 334 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Ölçeğin Cronbach-Alpha iç tutarlık katsayısı ise 0.961 bulunmuştur. Ölçek toplam varyansın %53’ ünü açıklamaktadır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucu elde edilen dört faktörlü ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle test edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının dijital okur-yazarlık öz-yeterliliğini belirlemeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir ölçek geliştirilmiştir.
