Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to adapt the PreschoolLearning Behaviors Scale (PLBS), which was developed by McDermott,Leigh, and Perry (2002) to Turkish and examine reliability and validation.The PLBS is a 29-item scale that is designed to assess the learning-related behaviors of preschool children on three subscales:Competence/Motivation, Attention/Persistence, and Attitude TowardLearning. A total of 140 preschool children (59 girls, 81 boys) and theirteachers were recruited in Istanbul for the current study. Children’s ageranged from 39 to 77 months (M= 62.56, SD= 8.52). Firstly, the PLBS wasadapted to Turkish language and culture. The validity of the scale wasmeasured by Confirmatory Factor Analysis and the difference betweenthe Upper %27 and Lower %27 groups was tested. The internal reliabilityof the scale was calculated by Cronbach's alpha and McDonald’s Omegamethod. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analyses showed that thescale has a three-factor structure as in the original version. The CFAmodel for the PLBS confirmed that there is a 3-factor model (χ 2 = 699.443(p < .001), CFI= 0.95, RMSEA= .07 (.07 to .09 at 90% CI), and WRMR =1.20. Cronbach alpha and McDonald’s Omega for internal consistencyshowed the measure was reliable. The analyses showed that the PLBS isa valid, reliable tool for Turkish children.

Özet

Bu araştırmada McDermott, Leigh ve Perry (2002) tarafından geliştirilen Okul Öncesi Öğrenme Davranışları Ölçeği (Preschool Learning Behavior Scale-PLBS)’nin Türk kültürüne adaptasyonu ile geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Okul Öncesi Öğrenme Davranışları Ölçeği (ÇÖDÖ) 29 maddeden oluşan ve okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının öğrenmeyle ilişkili davranışlarını üç alt boyutta değerlendirmektedir. Bu alt boyutlar: Yetkinlik/Motivasyon, Dikkat Devamlılığı ve Öğrenmeye Karşı Tutum olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada İstanbul’dan 59 kız, 81 erkek olmak üzere toplam 140 çocuk ve onların öğretmenleri yer almıştır. Çocukların yaş aralığı 39 ay ile 77 ay (M= 62.56, SS= 8.52) arasında değişmektedir. İlk olarak ÇÖDÖ Türk dili ve kültürüne adapte edilmiştir. Ölçeğin geçerliği Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ile ölçülmüş ve üst %27 ve alt %27’lik gruplar arasındaki farklar test edilmiştir. Ölçeğin iç güvenirliği Cronbach's alpha ve McDonald’s Omega yöntemi ile hesaplanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi sonuçlarına göre ölçek orijinal versiyonundaki gibi üç faktörlü bir yapı göstermiştir. DFA modeli ÇÖDÖ için üç faktörlü modeli doğrulamıştır (χ 2 = 699.443 (p < .001), CFI= 0.95, RMSEA= .07 (.07 to .09 at 90% CI), ve WRMR = 1.20. İç tutarlılık için Cronbach alpha ve McDonald’s Omega ölçeğin güvenilir olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre ÇÖDÖ Türk çocuklarının öğrenme davranışları için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçektir.
