Matematik Eğitiminde Teknoloji Entegrasyonu Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye Uyarlanması

Abstract

Teknoloji entegrasyonunun matematik eğitimi ve öğretimi bağlamındaki önemi giderek artmakta, bu durum matematik öğretmen adaylarının teknoloji entegrasyonuna yönelik öz yeterliliklerinin değerlendirilmesini ve ölçülmesini önemli bir ihtiyaç haline getirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, matematik öğretmenlerine yönelik olarak geliştirilen matematik öğretiminde teknoloji entegrasyonu öz-yeterlilik ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye uyarlanmasıdır. Uyarlama sürecinde öncelikle ölçeğin dil geçerliliği sağlanmış, ardından açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirliği ise test-tekrar testi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Uyarlama çalışması sonucunda, ölçeğin altı faktörden oluştuğu ve orijinal ölçekle büyük ölçüde benzerlik gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu faktörler; teknoloji ile öğretim bilgisi, tutum, aile ve toplum katılımı, yapay zekâ kullanımı, mesleki gelişim ve teknoloji ile öğretim farkındalığı olarak belirlenmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizinden elde edilen sonuçlar modelin geçerli olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları doğrultusunda, matematik öğretimine yönelik teknoloji entegrasyonu öz-yeterliliklerini değerlendirmek amacıyla kullanılan ölçeğin, 27 madde ve altı boyuttan oluşan geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak kullanılabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışma, matematik öğretmenliği alanında daha fazla araştırma ve pratik uygulamalara olanak vererek alana önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır.

Turkish Adaptation of the Technology Integration Self-Efficacy Scale for Mathematics Education

Abstract

The importance of technology integration in the context of teaching and learning mathematics is growing increasingly, making it a significant necessity to evaluate and measure the self-efficacy of pre-service mathematics teachers regarding technology integration in mathematics education. The primary aim of this study is to adapt the self-efficacy scale for technology integration in mathematics education, which was originally developed for mathematics teachers, into Turkish. During the adaptation process, first, the language validity of the scale was ensured. It was then followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability of the scale was assessed using the test-retest method. Adaptation findings reveal that the scale consists of six factors and shows substantial similarity to the original scale. These factors were identified as knowledge of teaching with technology, attitude, parental and community involvement, use of artificial intelligence, professional development and support, and awareness of teaching with technology. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicate that the model is valid. The findings of the study show that the scale, consisting of 27 items and six dimensions, can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing self-efficacy in technology integration into mathematics education. In addition, this study provides a crucial contribution to the field by enabling further research and practice in mathematics teacher education.
