Abstract

The aim in this study was to adapt the Parent and Teacher Form of the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool, developed by Ravitch (2013) to measure the resilience of preschool children, into Turkish and to test its validity and reliability. The validity and reliability of the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool were tested with 335 children observed by their parents and 276 children observed by their teachers, selected by random sampling from the population. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the software package LISREL v. 8.80. The analysis confirmed the three-factor structure of the scale. When the coherence indices of the scale were examined, it was seen that model data coherence was achieved. The internal consistency coefficient for the Self-Regulation/Social Competence subdimension was .86, for the Understanding/Expressing Emotions subdimension was .83, and for the Empathy/Responsibility subdimension was .83. The scale form consisting of three dimensions and 27 items was designed as a four-point Likert type. Based on the analyses performed, the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool is a valid and reliable measurement tool within the scope of parent and teacher evaluations of 60- to 72-month-old Turkish children with its three-dimensional and 27-item structure.

Özet

Bu çalışmada okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının psikolojik sağlamlıklarını ölçmek amacıyla Ravitch (2013) tarafından geliştirilen Okul Öncesi Dönem Sosyal-Duygusal Kazanımlar ve Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği’nin Ebeveyn ve Öğretmen Formu'nun Türkçeye uyarlanması, geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirliği evrenden rastgele örnekleme yoluyla seçilen, ebeveynleri tarafından gözlemlenen 335 çocuk ve öğretmenleri tarafından gözlemlenen 276 çocuk üzerinde test edilmiştir. Ölçeğin Türkçe versiyonunun yapı geçerliğini doğrulamak amacıyla LISREL v. 8.80 yazılım paketi ile doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz, ölçeğin üç faktörlü yapısını doğrulamıştır. Ölçeğin tutarlılık indeksleri incelendiğinde model veri tutarlılığının sağlandığı görülmüştür. Öz Düzenleme/Sosyal Yeterlilik alt boyutunun iç tutarlılık katsayısı .86, Duyguları Anlama/İfade Etme alt boyutunun .83, Empati/Sorumluluk alt boyutunun ise .83 olarak saptanmıştır. Üç boyuttan ve 27 maddeden oluşan ölçek formu dörtlü Likert tipinde tasarlanmıştır. Yapılan analizler doğrultusunda Okul Öncesi Dönem Sosyal-Duygusal Kazanımlar ve Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği, üç boyutlu ve 27 maddelik yapısıyla 60-72 aylık Türk çocuklarının ebeveyn ve öğretmen değerlendirmeleri kapsamında geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak belirlenmiştir.
