to determine the reasons for cyberloafing behaviors of thestudents in
computerlabs. Reasons of Cyberloafing Scale has been developed to determine cyberloafing
behaviors of undergraduate students. In the forming period of the scale items,
previous studies on the cyberloafing subject in the literature have been examined
and additionally it has been consulted experts for their opinions. The study
has been conducted in the academic year of 2014-2015 and the participants of
the study have been composed of the students studying in the Faculty of
Education and Faculty of Engineering in Firat University. 92 female and 70
male, 162 students in total have been participated in the first implementation.
254 maleand 223 female, a total of 477 students have been participated in the second
implementation.. In the third implementation, test-retest method was used and
the scale was applied to a total of 44 students, including 24 men and 20 women
at two week intervals. The data collected at the end of the implementations have
been analyzed with IBM SPSS and AMOS. In order to detect the validity of the scale,
KMO and Bartlett’s test and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes have been
performed, item discriminations have been designated. For the purpose of
assessing the reliability of the scale, the internal consistency coefficient
has been calculated. Test-retest method has been used to determine the reliability
of the scale. According to the analysis performed with data, the scale’s Cronbach’s
alpha reliability coefficient is 0.83(>0.70) and Pearson correlation coefficents
are sufficient. In addition, the tests have been showed that the level of
reliability of the scale sufficient and the scale items gather under three factors
named “motivation”, “attitude towards lesson” and “instructor-induced reasons”.
Consequently; Reasons of Cyberloafing Scale is a scale consisting of 5 points Likert
type with 11 items which grouped under three factors. The analysis phase has
been revealed that The Cyberloafing Scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring
the behavior of cyberloafing. According to the results obtained from this study,
it can be said that Reasons of Cyberloafing Scale can be used as a measuring intrument
in educational institutions for measuring reasons of students’ cyberloafing behaviors
in computerlabs. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}
