Adaptation of Student Educator Negotiated Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale into Turkish Educational Context
Abstract
The aim of this study was to adapt the Student-Educator Negotiated Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale (2020) developed by Quinn et al. (2020) to the Turkish educational context. After the language validity studies, the Turkish version was administered to 380 university students: 178 (46.8%) female and 202 (53.2%) male. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to examine the construct validity of the scale. The obtained fit values were found to be within the acceptable range. In order to examine the reliability of the scale, Cronbach's alpha value and Spearman-Brown correlation value were analyzed to determine the split-half reliability level. Cronbach's alpha value for the whole scale was 0.85 and Spearman-Brown correlation value was calculated as r=0.78. The significance of the difference between the item scores of the lower and upper 27% groups determined according to the total score was determined by t-test. The results of the study indicate that the Student-Educator Deliberative Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale, a six-dimensional instrument, possesses adequate validity and reliability when administered to Turkish students.
