Abstract

This research was performed to adapt the Students’ Attitude Scale towards Scientific Field Trips (SASSFT) in Turkey. In this study, schools were determined according to sampling criterion methods which mostly arranged the field trips in Eregli town of Zonguldak city at 2011-2012 educational term. SASSFT was conducted to 317 students who enrolled these schools. The data were collected by demographic form and SASSFT. In terms of validity of the SASSFT, language, content and structure validity was investigated. Views of three science lecturers were taken about content validity and structural validity was done. Regarding the scale structural validity, internal consistency was examined. Reliability internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be α=0.88. Structural validity was investigated with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The fit indices were deemed satisfactory as original scale. Therefore, the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of ASSFT were satisfactory and can be used to measure Turkish secondary and high school students’ attitude towards scientific field trips.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, öğrenciler için Bilimsel Alan Gezisi Tutum Ölçeği’nin (BAGTÖ) Türkiye’de kullanımı amacıyla adaptasyon çalışması yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, ölçüt örnekleme metoduna göre 2011- 2012 öğretim yılında Zonguldak İli Ereğli İlçesi’ nde en fazla alan gezisi yapan okulları belirlenmiştir. Bu okullarda öğrenim gören 317 öğrenciye anket uygulanmıştırr. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu ve öğrenciler için BAGTÖ kullanılarak toplanmıştır. BAGTÖ geçerliliği ile ilgili olarak dil, içerik ve yapı geçerliliği araştırılmıştır. Üç fen eğitimcisinden içerik geçerliliği ile ilgili görüş alınmıştır. İç tutarlılık Cronbach α katsayısı 0.88 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) ile geçerliliği incelenmiştir. DFA bulguları orijinal çalışmayı destekler niteliktedir. BAGTÖ Türkçe versiyonunun özellikleri, Türkiye’deki ortaokul ve lise öğrencilerinin alan gezisine ilişkin tutumlarını ölçmek için uygundur.
