Adaptation of the “Design Thinker Profile” Scale into Turkish

Öz

The purpose of this study is to adapt the scale called "Design Thinker Profile Scale" developed by Chesson (2017) into Turkish in order to evaluate the approaches of employees in Turkey towards human-centered design and to conduct a validity and reliability study of this scale. The original scale is in English and is a 6-point Likert type scale consisting of 27 items and 3 dimensions. The scale was first translated into Turkish by 6 academicians who were fluent in Turkish and English, later, the scale was back-translated by 2 academicians who were fluent in Turkish and English and based on these translations, the Turkish items of the scale were decided. In the linguistic equivalence study conducted with 30 participants fluent in Turkish and English, the correlation coefficient between Turkish and English forms was found to be over 0.90. In the pilot study conducted with 50 participants, the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was above 0.70 and the item-total correlation coefficients were above 0.30. In the large sample application conducted with 419 participants, the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient value of the Turkish adaptation scale was 0.97 and the composite reliability coefficient value was 0.98. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted within the scope of a large sample to determine construct validity, it was seen that the adapted scale had acceptable fit.

“Design Thinker Profile – İnsan Odaklı Tasarım” Ölçeğinin Türkçeye Uyarlanması

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de ki çalışanların insan odaklı tasarıma yönelik yaklaşımlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla Chesson (2017) tarafından geliştirilen “Design Thinker Profile – İnsan Odaklı Tasarım” isimli ölçeğin geçerlilik ve güvenirlilik analizleri de yapılarak Türkçeye uyarlanmasıdır. Orijinal ölçek, İngilizce olup 27 maddeden ve 3 boyuttan oluşan 6’lı Likert tipi bir ölçektir. Ölçek, ilk olarak Türkçe ve İngilizce diline hakim 6 akademisyen tarafından Türkçeye çevrilmiştir, daha sonra ölçeğin, Türkçe ve İngilizce diline hakim 2 akademisyen tarafından geri çevirisi yapılmıştır ve bu çevirilere dayanarak ölçeğin Türkçe maddelerine karar verilmiştir. Türkçe ve İngilizce diline hakim 30 katılımcıyla yapılan dilsel eşdeğerlik çalışmasında Türkçe ve İngilizce formlar arasındaki korelasyon katsayısı 0,90’ın üzerinde bulunmuştur. 50 katılımcıyla yapılan pilot çalışmada Cronbach Alfa güvenirlilik katsayısı 0,70’in üzerinde, madde-toplam korelasyon katsayıları ise 0,30’un üzerinde çıkmıştır. 419 katılımcıyla gerçekleştirilen büyük örneklem uygulamasında Türkçe uyarlama ölçeğinin Cronbach Alfa güvenirlilik katsayı değeri 0,97, kompozit güvenirlilik katsayısı değeri ise 0,98 olarak bulunmuştur. Yapı geçerliliğini belirlemek için büyük örneklem kapsamında yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda uyarlanan ölçeğin kabul edilebilir uyuma sahip olduğu görülmüştür.
