Abstract

The research was designed to develop a reliable and valid instrument that would serve to measure undergraduates’ attitude towards PowerPoint (PP), which is used as a teaching tool in classrooms. The data needed for reliability and validity analysis were collected from students enrolled at a middle-sized university in the northwestern Turkey. To determine construct validity of the instrument, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted using the data from 341 students and a 26-item three-factor model was extracted. Then, the 26-item three-factor model obtained from the EFA was cross-validated by performing Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on the data from a different group of 303 students in the same population and the results revealed acceptable model fits. Reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha) for the whole scale was found to be .96. The results indicated that the instrument was sufficiently reliable and valid to measure undergraduates’ attitudes towards PP, used as a teaching tool in classrooms.

Özet

Bu araştırma üniversite öğrencilerinin derslerde öğretim aracı olarak kullanılan PowerPoint’e (PP) karşı tutumlarını belirlemeye yönelik olarak geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek geliştirmek için tasarlanmıştır. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması için gerekli olan veriler, Türkiye’nin kuzeybatısındaki orta büyüklükteki bir üniversitede öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerden toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini belirlemek için 341 öğrenciden toplanan veriler kullanılarak Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) yapılmış ve 26 maddelik üç alt boyutlu bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Aynı evrenden 303 öğrenciden oluşan farklı bir gruptan elde edilen veriler üzerinde Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapılarak AFA’dan elde edilen 26 maddelik üç alt boyutlu modelin çapraz geçerliği test edilmiştir. Sonuçlar model uyumunun kabul edilebilir olduğunu göstermiştir. Geliştirilen ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayısı (Cronbach’s Alpha) ölçeğin tamamı için .96 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar geliştirilen ölçeğin öğrencilerin öğretim aracı olarak kullanılan PP’ye karşı tutumlarını ölçmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olarak kullanılabileceğine işaret etmektedir.
