Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt the scale titled "Classroom Management Self-Efficacy Instrument (CMSEI)" adapted by Slater and Main (2020) into Turkish and to test its validity and reliability. In line with the scale adaptation process, initial translation studies were conducted, followed by construct validity testing using confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed by calculating the internal consistency coefficient of the scale. The study group consisted of 268 pre-service teachers studying in different branches of education faculties. The original form of the scale was designed in a unidimensional structure and consisted of 14 items graded on a four-point Likert scale. After the CFA, the required modifications were applied, and the fit indices indicated an acceptable or excellent model fit. The internal consistency coefficient for the Turkish form of the scale was calculated to be .88. The findings suggest that the CMSEI can be adapted to Turkish culture and utilized as a valid and reliable tool for assessing the classroom management self-efficacy of Turkish pre-service teachers. This study is expected to contribute to the measurement tools in the field of classroom management and pave the way for cross-cultural comparative research in future studies.
