Preschool Teacher Acceptance Rejection Scale: Adaptation of the Child's Short Form (6 Ages) To Turkish Validity And Reliability Study

This research aims to evaluate the perceptions of teacher acceptance-rejection of preschool children aged 6 years, developed by Rohner and Giotsa (2012) Early Childhood Parental Acceptance Rejection Scale: Child Short Form (ECPARQ), Preschool Teacher Acceptance Rejection Scale: To adapt the Child's Short Form as 6 Years Old (PTARQ) into Turkish and to carry out validity and reliability studies. In this study, a descriptive survey model was preferred. The research sample consists of 400 children in total from 4 private and 3 public kindergartens. In this study, the 'Preschool Teacher Acceptance Rejection Scale: Child Short Form 6 Years Old' (PTARQ) and parent consent form, which was developed by Rohner and Giotsa (2012) and adapted into Turkish, and whose validity and reliability studies were carried out, were applied. The scale consists of 23 items with four Likert options. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis applied, the scale showed a 4-factor structure. To determine reliability, item-total score, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient and time invariance coefficient were examined. The consistency coefficients were .89 for the whole scale; subscales: warmth/affection .82, hostility/aggression .92, indifference/neglect .71, undifferentiated rejection .79. The reliability coefficient between two applications is .99. Research findings show that the scale can measure teacher acceptance-rejection perceptions of preschool children aged 6 years validly and reliably.
