İlköğretim Çocukları İçin Alan Genel Algılanan Kontrol Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi

AMAÇ: Çalışmada, ilköğretim çocukları için alan genel algılanan kontrolü ölçecek bir araç geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM: Çalışma, ilköğretim birinci kademede 4. ve 5. sınıfa devam eden 152 , 6., 7. ve 8. sınıfa devam eden 162 olmak üzere toplam 314 öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Skinner'in (1996), algılanan kontrol kuramına dayalı olarak oluşturulan 12 maddelik ilköğretim çocukları için alan genel algılanan kontrol ölçeği deneme formu, araştırma kapsamında yer alan bireylere geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılması amacıyla verilmiştir. Ölçeğin uyum geçerliliği çalışmasında Diener ve arkadaşları tarafından (1985) geliştirilen ve Yetim (1993) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Araştırmada açımlayıcı faktör analizi ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, beş maddelik dörtlü likert tipi bir ölçek elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin açıkladığı varyans %46.35'dir. Ölçeğin güvenirliği iç tutarlık yöntemlerinden Cronbach Alfa Katsayısı yöntemiyle hesaplanmıştır. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa değeri .70 olarak bulunmuştur ve örneklemin 5 maddelik bir ölçek için iyi bir iç tutarlılığa sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. SONUÇ: Ölçeğe ilköğretim çocukları için alan genel algılanan kontrol öçleği ismi verilmiştir. Geliştirilen bu ölçek ileriki çalışmalarda kullanılabilir, böylece alanın gelişimine katkıda bulunabilir.

(Development of a Scale for Domain General Perceived Control Scale Primary School Childrens')

AIM: This study aimed to develop a scale to measure domain general perceived control scale for elementary age children. METHOD: Participants were a total of 341 primary school children, 4th and f4th grade for 152 students, 6th, 7th and 8th grade for 162 students aged between 10-14.Skinner (1996), perceived control based on the theory is created 12-item scale of perceived control of the general form of the trial for primary education children and this form, within the scope of the research subjects, are given in order to make the validity and reliability studies. In order to test the validity of the scale developed, Satisfaction with Life was used. This scale was developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted into Turkish by Yetim (1993). RESULTS:Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysises and certain reliability analyses were used in the study. As a result of the analysis, four Likert-type five items scale were obtained. The findings revealed one -dimensional scale, 46.35% of whose variance was explained. Cronbach's coefficient alpha provided evidence for the internal consistency of the exploratory the Scale. The reliability of the scale was 0.70 and indicated that the 5 item scale had good internal consistency for the sample. CONCLUSION: The scale that resulted was given the title "Scale for Primary School Children' Time Orientation during Classroom Disengagement". This instrument may be used in various studies in the future, thus contributing to the development of the field.
