Turkish Adaptation of the 3 x 2 Goal Orientation Scale

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to translate the Goal Orientation Scale revised by Elliot, Murayama and Pekrun (2011) based on the 3 x 2 model into Turkish and to conduct the validity and reliability analyses. The adaptation of the scale to Turkish was done with the pre-service teachers taking “Educational Psychology” course at university level. A total of 198 pre-service teachers participated in the pilot study while 311 pre-service teachers attended the main study. As a result of pilot study, some revisions were made in the sentence structure of the items considering the expert opinions. As a result of the main study, it was found that the scale consisted of 18 items and six sub-dimensions (task-approach, task-avoidance, self-approach, self-avoidance, other-approach, other-avoidance) consistent with the original study. In addition, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients were satisfactory for each sub-dimension. As a result of this study, the scores obtained by using 3 x 2 Goal Orientation Scale were found to be valid and reliable. Accordingly, separating the mastery goals in the 2 x 2 model as "task" and "self" goals in the 3 x 2 model was found to be appropriate for Turkish sample.

3 x 2 Hedef Yönelimi Ölçeği’nin Türkçe’ye Uyarlanması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı Elliot, Murayama ve Pekrun (2011) tarafından 3 x 2 modeline göre güncellenen Hedef Yönelimi Ölçeği’ni Türkçe’ye çevirmek, geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerini yapmaktır. Ölçeğin Türkçe uyarlaması üniversite düzeyinde “Eğitim Psikolojisi” dersini almakta olan öğretmen adayları ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma pilot ve asıl çalışma olmak üzere iki kısımdan oluşmaktadır. Pilot çalışmaya 198 öğretmen adayı katılırken asıl çalışmaya 311 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Pilot çalışma sonucunda, uzman görüşleri dikkate alınarak maddelerin cümle yapılarında bazı değişiklikler yapılmıştır. Asıl çalışma sonucunda ise, ölçeğin, aslına uygun olarak 18 maddeden ve altı alt boyuttan (görev-yaklaşma, görev-kaçınma, öz-yaklaşma, öz-kaçınma, diğer-yaklaşma, diğer-kaçınma) oluştuğu bulunmuştur. Her boyut için Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı yeterli düzeyde çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda, Türkçe’ye uyarlanan 3 x 2 Hedef Yönelimi Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilen puanların geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu doğrultuda 2 x 2 modelindeki “öğrenmeye yönelik” hedeflerin “görev” ve “öz” şeklinde ayrıldığı 3 x 2 modelinin Türkiye örneklemi için uygun olduğu görülmüştür.
