Purpose: The purpose of this study is to adapt the Science Experience Scale in Informal Environments (ScESInE), which was
developed by Gafoor and Narayan (2008), to Turkish culture and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the scale.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In the study, the Turkish translation study of the scale was performed by using exploratory
factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis for validity and Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient and item
analysis for reliability. A total of 500 students participated in the study. The students were studying in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th
grades of the secondary schools in the central district of the province of Karaman in the fall semester of the 2019-2020
academic year.
Findings: As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was found that 41.01% of the total variance of the scale consisting of
four factors was explained. Scale item factor load values varied between .45 and .79. As a result of the analysis done for
reliability, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients for overall scale and observation, addition, activity, and
experiment sub-dimensions were found as 85, .71, .87, .63, and .71, respectively. As a result of item analysis for reliability, the
corrected item total correlations were found between .30 and 68. Finally, as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis good
fit indexes were obtained (χ2 = 788.78, sd = 395, χ2 / sd = 1.99, p = 0.00; RMSEA = .045, RMR = .026, SRMR = .056 , GFI = .90,
AGFI = .89, CFI = .95, NFI = .91, NNFI = .95, IFI = .99, RFI = .90).
Highlights: As a result of all these analyses, it can be said that the Turkish version of the scale is valid and reliable and can be
used by researchers in scientific research.
