Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, OMEP tarafından önerilen 7R çerçevesi (Saygı Duy, Sorgula, Yansıt, Geri Dönüştür, Yeniden Dağıt, Azalt, Tekrar Kullan) temelinde, erken çocukluk döneminde (60–72 ay) çocukların sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya yönelik davranışlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla gözleme dayalı bir kontrol listesi geliştirmek ve aracın yapı geçerliğine ilişkin ilk kanıtları sunmaktır. Araştırma nicel araştırma deseni ile yürütülmüş ve kuramsal olarak tanımlanan yedi boyutlu yapı doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile test edilmiştir. Veriler, Türkiye genelindeki okul öncesi kurumlarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin gözlemlerine dayalı olarak değerlendirilen 448 çocuktan elde edilmiştir. Başlangıçta 51 maddeden oluşan araç, aşamalı revizyon süreci sonucunda 35 maddeye indirgenmiş ve ikinci düzey DFA sonuçları model uyumunun kabul edilebilir olduğunu göstermiştir

Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop an observation-based checklist to assess young children’s (60–72 months) sustainable development behaviors based on the 7R framework proposed by the OMEP (Respect, Rethink, Reflect, Recycle, Redistribute, Reduce, Reuse) and to provide initial evidence of its structural validity. The study employed a quantitative research design, and the theoretically defined seven-dimensional structure was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data were collected from 448 children evaluated through preschool teachers’ observations across Türkiye. The instrument, initially consisting of 51 items, was reduced to 35 items. Second-order CFA results indicated acceptable model fit (χ²/df = 3.03; RMSEA = .067; SRMR = .04) and supported the proposed structure.
