The purpose of this study is to adapt Social-Emotional Educational Leadership
(SEL) scale into the Turkish language. The research was implemented on the
286 primary and secondary school teachers. The one-dimensional model which
was consisted of 29 items was found coherent in the confirmatory factor
analysis. In the adaptation study of Social-Emotional Education Leadership
Scale, firstly language adaptation was done and then validity and reliability
studies were conducted. Internal consistency, item and factor analysis studies
were conducted to examine psychometric features of the scale. In terms of
statistical validity and reliability of Social-emotional Leadership Scale,
Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)
and Cronbach’s Alpha techniques were utilized. The result of reliability analysis
was .98, and the scale was found reliable. Confirmatory factor analysis’ results
show that scale’s original one-dimensional model was appropriate for the
Turkish sample (x²=1231.19, df=377, p=.0000, χ2/df=3.26, RMSEA=.08,
NFI=.98, NNFI=.99, CFI=.99, IFI=.99, SRMR=.03, GFI=.77, AGFI=.74). In this
case, the scale is considered as a reliable and valid instrument in terms of
measuring social-emotional educational leadership degree in the education
process of education leaders in Turkey.
