Evaluation of Factors Affecting Elective Course Preferences: Example of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Validity and Reliability Study
Abstract
This study aims to determine the factors affecting the elective course preferences of veterinary faculty students. Developing a scale (Elective Course Preference Attitude Scale) that provides an evaluation of the elective course preferences of students of veterinary medicine students is also aimed. 354 students studying at Selçuk University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in the 2019-2020 academic year participated in the study. With regard to constructing validity, Cronbach’s alpha (α) coefficient was used for the reliability analysis. For validity analysis, factor analysis was applied. In light of the data obtained from the study, it can be suggested that the “Elective Course Preference Attitude Scale” is a valid and reliable tool in the evaluation of the elective course preferences of veterinary medicine students, and this scale can also be used in the evaluation of the elective course preferences of students of other departments.
