Özet
Bu çalışmada Sosyal Beceri Geliştirme Sistemi- Derecelendirme Ölçeği, (3-5 yaş okul öncesi versiyonu) öğretmen formunun geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, farklı okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarına devam eden 3-5 yaş grubunda 305 çocuğun öğretmeni (n=28) oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde kapsam geçerliği, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, test tekrar test güvenirliği ve iç tutarlılık katsayısı (Cronbach alfa) hesaplanmıştır. Kapsam geçerliğinin belirlenmesinde 5 uzmandan görüş alınmış ve ölçekte yer alan 76 maddenin de ölçekte kalması yönünde karar verilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeğin 76 madde ve 12 faktörlü yapısının toplanan verilerle genel olarak uyum sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayılarının .70 ile .86 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar Sosyal Beceri Geliştirme Sistemi- Derecelendirme Ölçeği (3-5 yaş okul öncesi versiyonu) Öğretmen Formunun Türkiye’deki çocukların sosyal becerilerini değerlendirmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermiştir.
