AB  - This study aims to translate the Mentoring Conception Scale and Mentoring Motivation Scale into Turkish, to conduct reliability and validity analyses of the instruments, and to descriptively examine mentor teachers' mentoring conceptions and motivations in the Turkish context. The instruments were translated from Dutch to Turkish using a backward translation design and conducted with 141 mentor teachers in Istanbul. For reliability analysis, internal consistency coefficients and corrected item-total correlations were calculated. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine construct validity and discriminant validity was checked. Validity results confirmed the original structure of the instruments, which consists of two factors: developmental and instrumental conceptions, personal learning, and generative outcome motives. While internal consistency coefficients of conception factors were calculated as 0.96 and 0.94, internal consistency coefficients of motivation factors were calculated as 0.87 and 0.89. Descriptive findings showed that mentor teachers tended to give high scores for each conception and motivation factor.

N2  - Bu çalışmanın amacı, Mentörlük Anlayış Ölçeği ve Mentörlük Motivasyon Ölçeğini Türkçe ’ye çevirip ölçeklerin geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerini yapmak ve mentör öğretmenlerinin mentörlük anlayışlarını ve motivasyonlarını Türkiye bağlamında betimsel olarak incelemektir. Ölçekler Hollandaca'dan Türkçe ‘ye geri çeviri yöntemi kullanılarak çevrilmiş ve İstanbul'da 141 mentör öğretmene uygulanmıştır. Güvenilirlik analizi için iç tutarlılık katsayıları ve düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonları hesaplanmıştır. Ölçeklerin yapı geçerliliğinin kontrolü için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizleri yapılmış ve ayırıcı geçerlilik de kontrol edilmiştir. Geçerlilik sonuçları, ölçeklerin iki faktörden oluşan orijinal yapısını doğrulamıştır: gelişimsel ve araçsal mentörlük anlayışı; kişisel öğrenme ve üretken sonuç güdüleri. Anlayış faktörlerinin iç tutarlılık katsayıları 0,96 ve 0,94 olarak hesaplanırken, motivasyon faktörlerinin iç tutarlılık katsayıları 0,87 ve 0,89 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Betimsel bulgular, mentör öğretmenlerinin her bir anlayış ve motivasyon faktörü için yüksek puanlar verme eğiliminde olduğunu göstermiştir.
