Değişime Hazır Olma Ölçeği'nin Geçerlilik ve Güvenilirlik Çalışması

Öz

Bu çalışma okullarda öğretmen, yönetici ve rehber öğretmen olarak çalışan iş görenlerin değişime hazır olma düzeylerini ölçen Değişime Hazır Olma-Bilişsel, Duygusal, Kararlılık (DHO-BDK) ölçeğini geliştirme çalışmalarını içeren süreci anlatmaktadır. Çalışmanın birinci aşamasında, ilk ve ortaöğretim okullarından çalışan toplam 700 öğretmenden toplanan veri ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği ve güvenirliğine ilişkin destek sağlamıştır. Buna göre değişime hazır olmanın üç boyutu ortaya çıkmıştır: kararlılık boyutunda değişime hazır olma, duygu boyutunda değişime hazır olma ve bilişsel boyutta değişime hazır olma. İkinci aşamada, yine ilk ve ortaöğretim okullarında çalışan 603 öğretmenden oluşan bağımsız bir örneklemden toplanan veri 12 maddeli ve üç boyutlu yapıyı desteklemiştir. Kararlılık boyutunda değişime hazır olma, bilişsel boyutta değişime hazır olma ve duygu boyutunda değişime hazır olma için sırasıyla .90, .87 ve .75 düzeyinde Cronbach alfa değerleri bulunmuştur. DHO-BDK’nin ek geçerlik çalışmalarıyla politika yapıcılar ve okullardaki yöneticiler için iş görenlerin değişime hazır olmalarını değerlendirecekleri etkin bir araç olacağı ve buna bağlı olarak okullardaki değişim uygulamalarına yönelik olarak iş görenlerin olumlu tutumlar geliştirmelerine yardımcı olacak stratejileri geliştirmelerine yardımcı olacağına inanılmaktadır.

Development and Validation of Readiness for Change Scale

Abstract

This study described the process of developing and validating the Readiness for ChangeCognitive Emotional Intentional (RFOC-CEI) scale that can be used to assess readiness for change levels of organizational members working in schools including teachers, administrators, and counselor. In the first phase, data collected from 700 teachers in primary and secondary schools provided evidence for the construct validity and reliability of the new scale. Three dimensions emerged: intentional readiness for change, emotional readiness for change, and cognitive readiness for change. In the second phase, data collected from an independent sample of 603 teachers in primary and secondary schools confirmed the three-factor structure of the 12-item RFOC-CEI. The Cronbach alpha coefficients were found to be .90, .87, and .75 respectively for intentional, cognitive, and emotional readiness for change dimensions. Followed by the additional validation studies, the RFOC-CEI will serve as a valuable tool for policy makers and administrators in assessing readiness level of their staff and developing strategies for promoting positive attitudes toward indented changes in schools.
