Adaptation of the Scales of Justice in the Classroom into Turkish

Abstract

This study aims to adapt Scales of Justice in the Classroom (SJC), which consists of Classroom Distributive Justice (SDJC) developed by Chory-Assad & Paulsel, Classroom Procedural Justice (SPJC) and Classroom Interactional Justice (SIJC) developed by R.M. Chory, into Turkish language and to determine their psychometric properties. The study was conducted on 494 secondary education students. Confirmatory factor analysis results show that twelve-item SDJC display a two-dimensional structure. Fifteen-item SPJC and seven-item SIJC display unidimensional structures. Internal consistency coefficients of SJC were calculated and it was found for SDJC as follows; in Existing Distributive Justice sub-dimension .79, in Expected Distributive Justice sub-dimension was .88, for the whole Distributive Justice was .91; in SPJC was .92; in SIJC was .92. As a result of test-retest analysis, the relationship between the first and last implementation was .89 for SDJC, .84 for SPJC, and .87 for SIJC. Results show that Turkish forms of scales are valid and reliable measurement tools for measuring justice perceptions of students in the classroom in secondary education. It is thought the Scales can support efforts of school psychological counselors in understanding students who experience problems like academic failure, difficulty in adaptation, withdrawal, aggressiveness and finding solutions to such students.
