Yönetici Öz Yeterlik Algısı Ölçeği: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu araştırma okul müdürlerinin öz yeterlik algılarını tespit edebilmek için Tschannen-Moran ve Gareis tarafından (2004) hazırlanan ölçeğin Türkçeye uyarlanması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Ankara, Kayseri, Adana, Mersin, Konya, Aksaray, Niğde, Nevşehir, Kahramanmaraş ve Gaziantep İllerinde çalışmakta olan 1227 okul müdürü oluşturmaktadır. Özgün formu üç boyut ve on sekiz maddeden oluşan ve dili İngilizce olan okul müdürü öz yeterlik algısı ölçeği kısa formu, Türkçeye çevrilmiş ve örneklem verileri üzerinde faktör analizleri ve geçerlik ile güvenirlik çalışması uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Türkçeye uyarlanan ölçek, özgün formu ile benzerlik gösteren üç boyuttan (yönetimsel, öğretimsel ve etik/ahlaki öz yeterlik) oluşmaktadır. Türkçe literatürde bu çalışma kapsamında uyarlanan ölçeğe benzer bir çalışmanın henüz yapılmamış olması bu çalışmanın literatürdeki önemli bir boşluğu kapatmasını sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca geliştirilen ölçek ile okul müdürlerinin öz yeterliklerini belirlemeye yönelik çalışmaların artması hedeflenmektedir. Bunun yanında uyarlanan bu ölçeğin kullanılması ile okullarda sürdürülen yönetim çalışmalarına ilişkin önemli veri elde edilebilecektir.
