Adaptation of Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Teachers (MAIT) to Turkish: A Validity-Reliability Study
Abstract
This study aims to adapt the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Teachers (MAIT) into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. The inventory serves the purpose of measuring teachers' metacognitive awareness of their instructional processes. It consists of 24 items and six factors. In the adaptation process, comprehensive validation measures were employed, containing assessments of linguistic equivalence, conceptual and experiential equivalence, and construct validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was utilized for assessing construct validity. The CFA results showed that the Turkish version of the MAIT demonstrated excellent fit on the SRMR index and acceptable fit values on other indices. Internal validity was examined through the correlation between the inventory and each sub-factor. Within the realibility studies, the analyses ascertained a McDonald’s ω value of .94. As a result, it was revealed that the MAIT Turkish form stands as a valid and reliable measurement instrument for assessing teachers’ metacognitive awareness in instruction.
