Development of Occupational Resilience Beliefs Scale for Teacher Candidates
Öz
The aim of this research is to develop a valid and reliable measurement scale to measure the
occupational resiliencies beliefs of teacher candidates. Occupational Resilience Scale (ORS)
consists of 26 items and single factor. Participants of the study were a total of 272 university
students, 168 (%61.8) female and 104 (%32.8) male. Exploratory and confirmatory factor
analyses were used for testing construct validity for the scale. It was found in construct validity
studies that the scale consists of single factor. It also showed that the model had high fit indices.
Internal consistency coefficient was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. The resulting
coefficient was .93. In test re-test reliability study, Occupational Resilience Scale for Teacher
Candidates was applied to 78 students of faculty of education three weeks apart. The Pearson
correlation co-efficient between the scores obtained from the two applications was counted as .76. These values obtained as a result of the analysis applied on the data show that the
occupational resilience beliefs scale developed for pre-service teachers is a valid and reliable
scale.
