Teacher Tolerance Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

This study aims to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool for the assessment of teacher tolerance. The stages of developing a scale can be broadly listed as follows; creating the items, seeking expert opinion, pre-testing, validity study, factor analysis, and reliability study. The study for the development of the scale was carried out on a total of 654 teachers. The Teacher Tolerance Scale has a rating of "Not at all suitable for me", "Slightly suitable for me", "Adjustable to me", "Very suitable for me", "Totally suitable for me" and a 5-point scale. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis performed to examine the construct validity of the scale, a 3-factor structure consisting of 17 items was obtained. These factors are respectively; ignorance, forgiveness, mercy. For the validity and reliability studies of the teacher tolerance scale, the Cronbach’s alfa alpha reliability coefficient was found to be 0.84. The KMO sample fit coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.87 and Bartlett's test (χ²=233.160; p <0.05). These results show that the Teacher Tolerance Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool. As a result, as a result of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, a valid and reliable scale consisting of 17 items and 3 factors with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.84 and model fit index values expressed as "excellent" was obtained.
