The Adaptation of National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) into Turkish: A Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

Yükseköğretim Öğrenci Bağlılığı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe’ye Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı yükseköğretimde öğrenci bağlılığını ölçmeye yönelik geliştirilen Yükseköğretim Öğrenci Bağlılığı Ölçeği’nin (YÖBÖ) Türk dili ve kültürüne uyarlamasını gerçekleştirmek ve ölçeğin geçerlik ile güvenirliğini test etmektir. Araştırma 450 öğretmen adayı üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin uyarlanma sürecinde sırasıyla çeviri geçerliği, dil ve anlam geçerliği, içerik geçerliği, yapı geçerliği ve güvenirlik analizi çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde YÖBÖ’nün uyarlaması yapılan orijinal ölçekte olduğu gibi yükseköğretimdeki öğrenci bağlılığını on boyutlu bir yapı olarak ölçebildiği doğrulanmıştır. Ölçek için elde edilen geçerlik ve güvenirlik sonuçlarına göre, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun orijinali gibi kabul edilebilir düzeyde geçerlik göstergelerinin bulunduğu ve yeterli güvenirlik katsayılarına sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak YÖBÖ’nün, yükseköğretimdeki öğrenci bağlılığını ölçebilecek güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçme aracı olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
