Reliability and Validity of Turkish Version of the Multidimensional Cognitive Load Scale for Virtual Environments
Öz
This study aimed to adapt the “Multidimensional Cognitive Load Scale for Virtual Environments Scale (MCLSVE)” into Turkish, while evaluating its validity and reliability. A survey model was used for the adaptation process, utilizing the scale developed by Andersen and Makransky (2021), which is now referred to as the “MCLSVE-TR” The scale comprises five subscales: Intrinsic Load, Extraneous Load Instruction, Extraneous Load Interactions, Extraneous Load Environment, and Germane Load. The sample group for the study was 203 volunteer university students selected using a convenience sampling technique. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted to determine the factor structure of the scale. As a result of EFA, it was revealed that the scale consisted of 18 items and 5 sub-dimensions, and these dimensions explained 82,34% of the total variance. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) confirmed the five-factor structure. Pearson correlation analysis to determine the relationship between scale factors, and Cronbach Alpha coefficient to determine the reliability level of scale factors were used. The findings confirmed that the Turkish adaptation of the MCLSVE is both valid and reliable.
