Öğretmen Duyarlılığı Ölçeği: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin öğretmen duyarlılığı kavramına ilişkin farkındalık düzeylerini belirleyebilmek amacıyla bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Bu amaçla oluşturulan taslak form, uzman görüşlerine sunulmuş ve alınan dönütler doğrultusunda maddelerin kapsam geçerlik oranları belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada, ölçek maddelerinin ayırt ediciliği için alt sınır değeri .30 olarak belirlenmiş; bu değerin altında faktör yüküne sahip maddeler çalışma kapsamından çıkarılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda “duyarlı iletişim”, “kişisel duyarlılık” ve “duygusal duyarlılık” olmak üzere üç alt boyut ve 33 maddeden oluşan bir yapı ortaya konmuştur. Ölçme aracının iç tutarlılık katsayısı .89 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ölçekteki yapıların yakınsak geçerlikleri Açıklanan Ortalama Varyans (AVE) değerleri hesaplanarak belirlenmiştir. İlk boyut için AVE değeri .57, ikinci boyut için .53, üçüncü boyut için ise .51 olarak belirlenmiştir. Son olarak, toplam ölçek için AVE değeri .53 olarak hesaplanmış ve toplam madde düzeyinde yeterli bir yakınsak geçerlik düzeyi tespit edilmiştir.

Teacher Sensitivity Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a scale to measure teachers’ awareness levels regarding the concept of teacher sensitivity. The draft form created for this purpose was submitted to expert opinions and the content validity rates of the items were determined in line with the feedback received. Items with a factor loading below the threshold value of .30, set as the minimum criterion for item discrimination, were excluded from the study. Analyses revealed a structure comprising three sub-dimensions (responsive communication, personal sensitivity, and emotional sensitivity) with a total of 33 items. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as .89. To assess the convergent validity, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values were computed. The AVE values were found to be .57 for the first dimension, .53 for the second, and .51 for the third dimension. Finally, the AVE value for the total scale was calculated as .53, demonstrating a robust level of convergent validity at the overall scale level.
