Intangible Cultural Heritage Attitude Scale: Validity and Reliability Study
Abstract
The
goal of this study is to develop a valid and reliable assessment instrument for
determining the attitudes of secondary school students towards intangible
cultural heritage components. Items included in the assessment instrument are
prepared by researchers on the basis of their analyses about studies in related
literature and expert opinions they obtained. The study is carried out with a
total of 367 students studying in 6 different secondary schools in central
district, Bartın city. At the end of the statistical analyses, it is determined
that, items whose item-factor total and adjusted correlation coefficient is
over 0, 21, are statistically significant. Results of the scale’s explanatory
factor analysis showed that scale items are grouped under 5 dimensions (Social
Life, Traditional Arts, Cultural Conscious, Verbal Traditions, Information and
Practices about Nature and Universe). According to the results of confirmatory
factor analysis about factor structures, factor fit indexes are coherent. It is
determined that Cronbach alpha internal consistency of the scale in general is
.89. Findings obtained at the end of validity and reliability studies about the
scale show that Intangible Cultural Heritage Attitude Scale (ICHAS), which is
made of a total of 23 items, is a proper instrument for assessing the attitudes
of secondary school students towards intangible cultural heritages.
