Bu araştırmanın amacı, Çocuk ve Ergenler İçin Okula Bağlanma Ölçeği Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya 356’sı (%50,3) kız, 352’si (%49,7) erkek olmak üzere toplam 708 ilköğretim okulu öğrencisi katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 11,4’tür.

School Attachment Scale for Children and Adolescents: The Study of Validity and Reliability

Abstract

Aim of this study is to test the psychometric qualities of the Turkish Form of School Attachment Scale-SAS for children and adolescents. The sample was composed of 708 students, 356 (50,3%) of which were girls and 352 (49,7) of which were boys. Age average of participants was 11.4. The Turkish version of the scale was evaluated for its factor structure, criterion-related validity, Cronbach alpha internal consistency, test re-test, split-half and item-total reliability. Study’s results are consistent with the original scale items of the study were placed under three division “attachment to school”, “attachment to teacher” and “attachment to friend” to be scaled. It was found that Scale’s Cronbach alpha inner consistency coefficient was 0,84; test-retest reliability for whole scale was 0.85. With the use of this scale, it is possible to analyze factors related to school attachment level, thus to test the combined data with the population of children and adolescents
