properties of the Scale of <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Beliefs
About the Effectiveness of Teacher Education Program </span> developed for the
international TEDS-M Study (Tatto et al., 2008). The research was conducted on
583 preservice elementary mathematics teachers from different universities
selected randomly from seven different geographical regions of Turkey. As a
result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was found that total explained
variance was 65% and that the items were grouped under a single factor. Results
of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the scale yielded single
factor as the original form and that the model was well fit (x2=25.83, df=9,
RMSEA=0.08, GFI=0.96, AGFI=0.89, CFI=0.98, NFI=0.97, NNFI=0.95). Corrected
item-total correlations ranged 0.78 to 0.84. Internal consistency coefficient was
found as 0.90 for the scale. These results show that the Turkish form of the
scale is a valid and reliable instrument. </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Kastamonu Üniversitesi}
