Abstract

Bu çalışmada ortaokul ve lise öğrencilerinin okula uyumlarının belirlenmesinde çok yönlü bir değerlendirmeye yönelik bir ölçek geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Geliştirilen ölçeğin deneme formu Ankara ilindeki sekiz farklı okulda altı ve 12. Sınıf düzeyleri arasında öğrenim gören toplam 684 ortaokul öğrencisinden oluşan iki ayrı çalışma grubuna uygulanmıştır. Pilot uygulama, uzman görüşü ve deneme formu uygulamasının ardından gerçekleştirilen güvenirlik ve geçerlik analizleri sonunda birinci çalışma grubu verilerine uygulanan açımlayıcı faktör analizinde sekiz faktörlü ve 66 maddelik uygulama formu oluşturulmuştur. İkinci çalışma grubu ile gerçekleştirilen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ise bütün gizil değişkenlerle gözlenen değişkenler arasında anlamlı t-değerlerine ve kabul edilebilir değerlerde hata varyanslarına ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca uyum indeksleri açısından da iki indeks dışında yeterli değerler elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin tümü ve boyutları için kabul edilebilir güvenirlik değerlerine ulaşılmıştır. Geliştirilen ölçekle ortaokul lise öğrencilerinin okula uyum düzeylerini çeşitli boyutları ile incelemek mümkün olabilecektir.

Development of School Adjustment Scale

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to develop a scale for multi-dimensional evaluation in determining the adjustment of middle and high school students to school. The trial form of the developed scale was administered to two separate study groups consisting of 684 middle and high school students studying between six and 12th grade levels in eight different schools in Ankara. In the exploratory factor analysis conducted to the first study group data an eight-factor and 66-item application form was developed. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted with the second study group sufficient values were obtained in terms of fit indices other than two. Acceptable reliability values were achieved for the whole scale and its dimensions. With the developed scale, it will be possible to examine the school adjustment levels of middle and high school students with various dimensions.
