Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that will enable the teachers to evaluate the polyphonic choir curriculum taught in the 10th grade in Fine Arts High Schools. It has been determined in the field research that there is no measurement tool for the evaluation of the polyphonic choir curriculum. Considering the steps of scale development, "The Evaluation Scale of Polyphonic Choir Lesson Curriculum" was prepared in this study. Teachers working in Fine Arts High Schools throughout Turkey and conducting polyphonic choir lessons participated in the research. The evaluation scale was prepared by taking the opinions of 5 experts in the field of choir education. In the first part of the evaluation scale, the demographic information of the participants, and in the second part, questions about the evaluation of the polyphonic choir curriculum were included, and validity and reliability studies were carried out. First of all, factor analysis was performed during the validity phase of the study. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy and Barlett sphericity test were applied to test its suitability for factor analysis. Within the scope of the validity studies of the study, total item correlations were also calculated with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Cronbach's Alpha test statistic was taken into account in determining the reliability of the scale. According to the results obtained, the content validity of the scale items presented to the experts was found to be statistically significant. In the analysis of the validity and reliability of the scale items, it was determined that the validity and reliability of the items were high. In line with the results obtained, it can be said that the "Polyphonic Choir Lesson Curriculum Evaluation Scale" has validity and reliability.
