Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to adapt the “New Generation Science Standards Questionnaire” developed by Campbell, Lee, Longhurst, McKenna, Coster , and Lundgren (2021), into Turkish. The original scale form consists of four main factors and 35 items. Original scale factors: Understanding scientific explanations, generating scientific evidence, reflecting on scientific knowledge, participating productively in science. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) study group of the research consists of 408 secondary school 7th and 8th grade students, and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) study group consists of 799 secondary school 7th and 8th grade students. EFA was used to examine the construct validity of the scale, and translation studies were conducted to examine the language validity. As a result of the EFA, a structure consisting of 30 items and 4 factors was obtained. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, it was observed that the values of the fit indices were within the acceptable value limits. Finally, Cronbach's Alpha values for the reliability of the scale tool in terms of internal consistency were calculated and it was seen that the Turkish version of the New Generation Science Standards Scale was a valid and reliable measurement tool with adequate psychometric properties.
