Özet Bu çalışma, “Bireysel Çalgı” dersine ilişkin tutumların ölçülmesinde kullanılmak üzere likert tipi bir ölçek geliştirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçeğin geliştirilme aşamaları şu şekilde sıralanabilir. Çalışmaya literatür taraması yapılarak başlanmıştır. Benzer çalışmalar incelenmiş, temel bir fikir oluşturulmuş ve 2010 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz yarıyılında Gazi Üniversitesi Gazi Eğitim Fakültesi Güzel Sanatlar Eğitimi Bölümü Müzik Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı'nda mesleki müzik eğitimi almakta olan 60 öğrenciye bireysel çalgı dersine ilişkin görüşlerini içeren kompozisyon yazdırılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler kapsamında 20'si olumlu, 16'sı ise olumsuz önermeden oluşan 36 maddelik taslak bir ölçek oluşturulmuştur. Taslak ölçek kapsam geçerliliği için uzmanlara gönderilmiş ve gelen geribildirimler doğrultusunda ölçek tekrar düzenlenerek çeşitli üniversitelerde mesleki müzik eğitimi alan 373 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği faktör analizi yapılarak belirlenmiştir. Faktör analizinde ise varimax dönüşümlü temel bileşenler analizi kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca ölçeğin iç tutarlık katsayısı ve madde toplam korelasyonları da hesaplanarak Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayısı α=0,947, Kaiser-Meyer Olkin (KMO) değeri 0,96 olarak bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bütün bu bulgular değerlendirildiğinde, geliştirilen Bireysel Çalgı Dersi Tutum Ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu söylenebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Tutum Ölçeği, Bireysel Çalgı Dersi Tutum Ölçeği, Geçerlik, Güvenirlik. Abstract This study was carried out in order to develop likert type scale that will be used for assessing attitudes towards “Individual Instrument” course. Stages of developing the scale can be lined in this way: Firstly, literature review was made which was the beginning stage of the study. Similar studies were analyzed, a basic idea was created and 60 students in Gazi University, Faculty of Fine Arts Education, Department of Music Education, in 2010 academic year's fall semester attended the study and they were required to write compositions about their views on individual instrument class. In scope of the obtained data, a draft scale made of 36 items including 20 positive and 16 negative propositions was prepared. Draft scale was sent to professionals for content validity, and in line with feedbacks, scale was rearranged and conducted on 373 students studying vocational music in various universities. Structural validity of the scale was determined by making factor analysis. Varimax rotation principle component analysis was used in factor analysis. On the other hand, internal consistency coefficient of the scale and total item correlations were calculated and it was determined that Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was α=0,947, Kaiser-Meyer Olkin (KMO) was 0, 96. When all of these obtained data is analyzed, it can be said that Individual Instrument Class Attitude Scale is a valid and reliable scale. Key Words: Attitude Scale, Attitude Scale of Individual Instrument, Validity, Reliability
