A Study of Cross-Cultural Equivalence of Computer Attitude in PISA 2009 Student Questionnaire

Bu araştırmada, Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) anketinde yer alan bilgisayar tutum faktör yapısının 10 ülke örnekleminde eşitliğinin çoklu grup doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmesi amaçlamıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, 8 OECD ve 2 OECD dışı ülke örnekleme alınmıştır. Bu örneklemden ayrıca bir seçim yapılmamış ve 90,393 bireyin verileri kullanılmıştır. Tüm alt gruplar için yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analiz ve güvenirlik analiz sonuçlarında tatmin edici değerler elde edilmiştir. Ardından gerçekleştirilen çoklu grup doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, bilgisayar tutumunun kültürlerarası eşdeğerliğe sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.

PISA 2009 Öğrenci Anketinde Yer Alan Bilgisayar Tutum Boyutunun Kültürlerarası Eşitliğinin İncelenmesi

This study aims to examine factorial structure of computer attitude of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the equality of questionnaire across 10 countries by a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis model. For this purpose, 8 OECD and 2 non-OECD states were included in the sampling. No other selection was applicable for this sampling and data of 90, 393 individuals were used. Satisfactory values were obtained for the results of confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis for all sub-groups. The multi-group confirmatory factor analysis results showed that computer attitude has cross-cultural equivalence.
