Abstract

Reading comprehension is a complex cognitive process that necessitates the employment of various strategies before, during, and after reading. Researchers have developed a number of measurement tools to both identify these strategies and evaluate their extent of use among successful and poor readers. The aim of this study was to adapt the Contextualized Reading Strategies Scale (CReSS) into Turkish. The study data were obtained from two separate samples using a convenience sampling method. The first sample, Group A, was comprised of 435 secondary school students (F=246, M=189). The second sample, Group B, consisted of 384 secondary school students (F=228, M=156). The results of the exploratory factor analysis suggested a five-factor structure for the Turkish version of the CReSS, unlike the original version, which contains four subscales. This proposed new construct was further supported by confirmatory factor analysis, which yielded good fit indices. Furthermore, the reliability values were higher than the established threshold values for each subscale and for the whole scale. These results indicate that the Turkish version of the CReSS, with its robust psychometric properties, can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool to assess the level of reading strategy utilization among Turkish secondary school students.
