The study group consists of 357 university students. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test the construct validity of the scale, and it was seen that all the fit indices related to the original single-factor model were at an acceptable level. The factor loadings of the items in the scale ranged between .421 and .748. Cronbach&#039;s Alpha coefficient (α= .895), McDonald omega (ω= .896), and Composite Reliability (CR= .918) values were calculated to determine the internal consistency of the scale, and it was seen that the scale was reliable. The Average Variance Extracted (AVE= .508) value, which was examined for convergent validity, is within the acceptable limit and shows that the factor adequately explains the construct it measures. Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving Scale (MCPS) is positively and significantly correlated with the Marmara Creative Thinking Dispositions Scale and the Metacognitive Strategies subscale of the Motivation Strategies for Learning Scale. This finding indicates that the scale has criterion-related validity. As a result of the research, it was seen that the Turkish version of the Metacognition in Creative Problem-Solving Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu araştırmanın amacı Yaratıcı Problem Çözmede Üst Biliş Ölçeğini Türkçe’ye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin geçerlik güvenirliğini incelemektir. Çalışma grubu 357 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini test etmek amacıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi gerçekleştirilmiş olup; orijinal tek faktörlü modele ilişkin uyum değerlerinin tamamının kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Ölçekteki maddelerin faktör yükleri .421 ile .748 arasında değişmektedir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlığını belirlemek amacıyla Cronbach Alfa katsayısı (α= .895), McDonald Omega (ω= .896) ve bileşik güvenirlik (CR= .918) değerleri hesaplanmış ve ölçeğin güvenilir olduğu görülmüştür. Yakınsak geçerlik için incelenmiş olan Çıkarılan Ortalama Varyans (AVE = .508) değeri kabul edilebilir sınırda olup, faktörün ölçtüğü yapıyı yeterli düzeyde açıkladığını göstermektedir. Marmara Yaratıcı Düşünme Eğilimleri Ölçeği ve Güdülenme ve Öğrenme Stratejileri Ölçeğinin Meta bilişsel Stratejiler Alt boyutu ile Yaratıcı Problem Çözmede Üst Biliş Ölçeği arasındaki pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler, ölçeğin ölçüt bağıntılı geçerliğe sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, Yaratıcı Problem Çözmede Üst Biliş Ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür.</p></trans-abstract>
