Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale determining the prospective teachers’ conceptions about nuclear power plants. In the development of the draft scale, experts’ opinions were previously referenced by preparing initial items after the related literature was reviewed. A five-point Likert type draft scale was administered to totally 178 prospective teachers from biology department of Kazim Karabekir Education Faculty at Ataturk University. The final form of the scale was developed with item analysis and exploratory factor analysis. It was determined that the scale had 2 factors and totally 48 items, and also its items, in terms of factor loadings, changed between 0.776 and 0.400. Besides, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient for whole test was found to be 0.943.

  1. is one of the main institutions gaining environmental awareness. In that case, it makes inevitable to follow closely the prospective teachers' opinions about nuclear power plants being planned the establishment in our country recently. Therefore, it is expected that this scale is to contribute to literature in terms of determining the prospective teachers ‘views about nuclear power plants in the framework of the identified factors. As a result, it is thought that the scale developed in this study is an efficient instrument for determining prospective teachers’ views about nuclear power plants. Adamantiades, A. & Kessides, I.
