Resimli Hikâye Kitabı Seçme Kriteri Ölçeği ve Çocuğa Resimli Hikâye Kitabı Okuma Davranışı Ölçeği: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Resimli Hikâye Kitabı Seçme Kriteri Ölçeğinin ve Çocuğa Resimli Hikâye Kitabı Okuma Davranışı Ölçeğinin geliştirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Üçlü Likert tipteki bu ölçeklerin yapı geçerliğini sağlamak için sırasıyla Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) gerçekleştirilmiştir. AFA sonuçları Resimli Hikâye Kitabı Seçme Kriteri Ölçeğinin 17 madde ve 3 boyuttan oluştuğunu göstermektedir. Bu ilk ölçeğin tamamı için Cronbach Alfa katsayısı 0.775’dir. DFA sonucunda ise modelin yapısı doğrulanmıştır. AFA sonuçları Çocuğa Resimli Hikâye Kitabı Okuma Davranışı Ölçeğinin 9 maddeden ve tek boyuttan oluştuğunu göstermektedir. Bu ikinci ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa katsayısı 0.787’dir. DFA sonuçları modelin tek boyutlu yapısının doğrulandığını göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak her iki ölçeğin de amacına uygun, geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, ebeveynlerin çocukları için resimli hikâye kitapları seçme ve bu kitapları okuma konusundaki güvenini arttırma ve eğitimcilerin ebeveynleri ve aileleri desteklemelerine yardımcı olma fırsatları sunmaktadır.

Selection and Reading of Picture Storybook for Young Children: A Scale Development Study

Abstract

The study aims to develop the Picture Storybook Selection Criteria Scale and the Picture Storybook Reading Behavior Scale for Children. The scales' initial forms were administered to 306 parents with 48-72-month-old children. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to ensure these three-point-Likert-type scales' structure validity. The EFA results suggest that the Picture Storybook Selection Criteria Scale consists of 17 items and three factors. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient for this first scale as a whole is 0.775. As a result of CFA, the construct of the model was confirmed. The EFA results suggest that the Picture Storybook Reading Behavior Scale consists of nine items with one factor. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the second scale is 0.787. CFA results show that the model's one-factor construct was confirmed. As a result, it was determined that both scales were suitable for their purpose, valid and reliable. This study provides opportunities to increase parents' confidence in choosing and reading picture storybooks for their children and to help educators support parents and families.
