Development of an Environmental Attitude Scale for Primary School Students
Öz
This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the environmental attitude levels of primary school students. The research adopts a quantitative research design and is of a survey study nature. The study was conducted during the 2022-2023 academic year with the participation of 948 students from primary schools in Kırşehir. The likert-type scale development model was used in the study. Considering that the items in the measurement tool are related to each other, the promax oblique rotation technique was used in the explanatory factor analysis [EFA]. As a result of the rotation technique applied three times, a 17 item scale consisting of 3 sub-factors was obtained. The result of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] Test of the scale was calculated as .837. The Bartlett Test result was found to be significant (p<.00). As a result of the validity and reliability analyses of the developed data collection tool, it was observed that the Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient calculated in the explanatory factor analysis increased from .76 to .91 in the confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of the study, a valid and reliable measurement tool was developed to determine the environmental attitude levels of primary school students. The developed scale can be revised in line with the curriculum and learning outcomes for different grade levels.
