Abstract

Deprem, dünyadaki en yaygın doğal afetlerden biridir ve bazen en tehlikelisidir. Bireylerin depremin yıkıcı etkilerinden korunmaları için deprem hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmaları önemlidir. Bunun için bireylerin deprem bilgisini ölçecek araçlara ihtiyaç vardır. Deprem Bilgi Düzeyi Ölçeği’nin geliştirilmesi amacıyla planlanan bu araştırmanın çalışma evreni, 2018-2019 öğretim yılında Düzce Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Tesadüfi örneklem yöntemiyle belirlenen araştırma grubunda, 501’i kadın, 227’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 728 gönüllü birey yer almıştır. Verilerin analizlere uygunluğu sınandıktan sonra gerçekleştirilen açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, ölçek 19 maddeden oluşan üç boyutlu bir yapı sergilemiştir. Ölçeği oluşturan faktörler birlikte varyansın %61,744’ünü açıklamaktadır. Ölçeğin alt boyutları, deprem hakkında bilgi ifadelerine dayalı olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen modelin uygunluğu RMSEA için 0,072; NFI için 0,93; GFI için 0,89, RMR için 0,041 ve AGFI için ise 0,86 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçekle ilgili olarak yapılan güvenirlik analizleri sonucunda ölçeğin iç tutarlık katsayısı (Cronbach alfa) ise 0,868 olarak belirlenmiştir. Geliştirilen bu ölçeğin, eğitsel amaçlı çalışmalara bir araç olarak destek sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Depreme ilişkin bilgi düzeyinin farklı değişkenlerle incelenmesine yardımcı olabilecek değişik araştırmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.

Development of an Earthquake Knowledge Assessment Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

Earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters in the world and sometimes the most dangerous. It is important that individuals have sufficient knowledge about the earthquake in order to be protected from its destructive effects. For this, there is a need for instruments to measure the earthquake knowledge of individuals. The aim of this study is to develop Earthquake Knowledge Assessment Scale. The study group of this research consists of a total of 728 volunteers, 501 of whom were women and 227 men, who were included in the research group determined by convenience sampling technique. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, which was completed after testing the suitability of the data for analysis, the scale showed a three-dimensional structure consisting of 19 items. The factors that constitute the scale explain 61,744% of the variance. The sub-dimensions of the scale were named based on the knowledge about the earthquake. The suitability of the obtained scale was 0.072 for Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA), 0.93 for Normed Fit Index (NFI), 0,89 for Goodness of Fit Index (GFI), 0.041 for Root Mean Square Residuals (RMR), and 0.86 for Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (AGFI). As a result of the reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach alpha) of the scale was determined as 0.868. It is thought that this developed scale could be useful to school managers, teachers, researchers, developers of school infrastructure, and the government ministry in charge of education.
