Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to develop a valid and reliable scale for measuring the social justice leadership behaviors of school principals. For this purpose, an item pool was prepared based on the social justice leadership literature and was examined by experts. Based on the views of the experts, 33-items draft form was filled in by 424 students from four different schools located in Ankara. Exploratory EFA and confirmatory CFA factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity of the scale. EFA showed that Social Justice Leadership Scale SJLS consist of three factors named as „support‟, „critical consciousness‟ and „participation‟. SJLS explained 57 percent of the variance. CFA revealed that the three factor structure of the SJLS has high level of goodness of fit indexes. It was also determined that item and factor discrimination level of the SJLS were high. Cronbach Alpha, Guttmann and Spearman-Brown internal consistency coefficients indicated that the SJLS is highly reliable. Based on the findings, it is concluded that SJLS is a valid and reliable data collection tool to measure the principals‟ social justice leadership behaviors in Turkish schools

Özet

Bu çalışmada okul müdürlerinin sosyal adalet liderliği davranışlarını belirlemeye elverişli, geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçeğin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda sosyal adalet liderliği yazınına dayalı olarak hazırlanan madde havuzu, uzman görüşüne sunulmuştur. Uzman önerileri ile son şekli verilen 33 maddelik taslak ölçek, Ankara ilindeki dört farklı okuldan 424 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği, açımlayıcı AFA ve doğrulayıcı DFA faktör analizi ile incelenmiştir. AFA, Sosyal Adalet Liderliği Ölçeğinin SALÖ „destek?, „eleştirel bilinç? ve „katılım? olmak üzere üç faktörlü olduğu ortaya koymuştur. SALÖ, varyansın %57sini açıklamıştır. DFA, üç faktörlü modele ilişkin uyum iyiliği değerlerinin “mükemmel uyum” düzeyinde olduğunu göstermiştir. SALÖ?de yer alan madde ve faktörlerin ayırt edicilik güçlerinin de yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Cronbach alfa, Guttman ve Spearman-Brown iç tutarlılık katsayıları ise SALÖ?nün yüksek düzeyde güvenilir olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bulgulara dayalı olarak, SALÖ?nün Türkiye?deki okullarda müdürlerin sosyal adalet liderliği davranışlarını belirlemede kullanılmaya elverişli, geçerli ve güvenilir bir veri toplama aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
