Bu çalışmada, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde yazma becerisini değerlendirmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek geliştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Kurumlarda yazma sınavlarının puanlanmasında yaşanan sorunlar ve standart bir dereceli puanlama anahtarının alanda bulunmayışı bu çalışmanın çıkış noktası olmuştur. Araştırma Bartın Üniversitesi Dil Eğitim Merkezinde eğitim vermekte olan öğretmenler üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Veri toplamak için hazırlanan uzman değerlendirme formları ilgili alanyazın ve konu ile ilgili benzer ölçekler incelenerek geliştirilmiştir. Ayrıca veri toplama sürecinde uzmanlara yöneltilen görüşme soruları sonucunda elde edilen nitel bulgulardan yararlanılmıştır. 30 maddeden oluşan anket form ile alanında uzman 30 öğretmenden veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler analize tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırmada ölçeğin kapsam geçerliliğini incelemek için uzmanların görüşleri alındıktan sonra anket formlarının frekans dağılımına bakılarak %49,75’i değerlendirme sorularına katıldığını, %40,25’i tamamen katıldığını ifade ederken %8,46’sı katılmadığını,
%1,54’ü hiç katılmadığı şeklinde sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirliği, puanlayıcıların verdikleri puanlar arasındaki uyumun tutarlığı incelenerek yapılmıştır. Güvenirlik tespiti için Kendall W uyuşum kat sayısı yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda geliştirilen ölçeklerin uyum katsayısı A1 seviyesi için .700, A2 seviyesi için .801, B1-B2 seviyeleri için .828, C1 seviyesi için .807 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar doğrultusunda tutarlılık katsayısı değerlerinin 1’e yaklaşması geliştirilen DPA’ların güvenirliğine kanıt oluşturmaktadır.
Yapılan analizler sonucunda A1, A2-, B1-B2, C1 seviyelerine uygun geliştirilen dereceli puanlama anahtarlarının geçerli ve güvenilir ölçme araçları olduğu yazma sınavlarını değerlendirmede kullanılabileceği söylenebilmektedir.
