Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğrenme yaklaşımları ve çalışma becerileri ölçeğinin beşli likert tipi, 52 madde, 3 faktörden (derinsel, stratejik, yüzeysel) oluşan ikinci bölümünün Türkçe uyarlamasının yapılarak, faktör yapısının incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla ilk olarak yazarlardan Noel Entwistle ile elektronik posta yoluyla iletişim kuruldu ve ölçeğin uyarlanabileceğine ilişkin gerekli izin alındı. İngiliz ve Türk dili uzmanlarından yardım alınarak Türkçeye çevrilen ölçeğin İngilizce ve Türkçe versiyonları Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi (DEU) İngilizce Öğretmenliği öğrencilerine (N=46) bir hafta arayla uygulandı ve öğrencilerin her iki uygulamadan aldıkları puanlar arasında yüksek düzeyde korelasyon bulunduğu (r= .805, p=.00) belirlendi. Ardından, ölçeğin faktör yapılarının incelenmesi için DEU’ de öğrenim gören ve temel fizik dersi alan 421 öğrenciden toplanan veriler ile Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (EFA) yapıldı ve faktör yükleri .4’ ün altında ve faktör yükleri arasındaki fark .1’ den küçük olan 5 maddenin ölçekten çıkarılması ile ölçeğin orijinal faktör yapısı ile uyumlu 3 faktör altında toplanabileceği belirlendi. Ölçeğin açıklayıcı faktör analizi ile belirlenen üç faktörlü yapısının uyumluluğunu test etmek amacı ile ölçek, doğrulayıcı faktör analizine (CFA) tabii tutuldu. CFA sonunda üç faktörlü yapının veri setimizle yeterli düzeyde uyumlu olduğu belirlendi (χ2/sd=1.96, RMSEA=.072; CFI=.82, GFI=.78, NFI=.88). Ayrıca ASSIST’in öğrencilerin öğrenme yaklaşımlarını birbirinden ayırmada ne derece başarılı olduğunu saptamak ve ayırma fonksiyonlarını belirleyebilmek için ölçek, ayırma analizine tabii tutuldu. Yapılan karesel ayırma analizi ile ölçekteki 3 alt boyuttan birine atanan bir öğrencinin, diğer alt boyutlardan anlamlı düzeyde ayrılmış kabul edilebildiği ve böylelikle öğrencilerin öğrenme yaklaşımlarının başarılı şekilde saptanabildiği sonucuna ulaşıldı.

Psychometric Evaluation on Turkish Version of The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students

Öz

This study aims to analyze the factor structure of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) by adapting the second part, which consists of five-point Likert scale, 52 items, and 3 factors (deep, strategic, surface), in Turkish. For this purpose, firstly one of the authors, Noel Entwistle, was contacted via email, and the necessary permission was received regarding the adaptation of the scale. The English and Turkish versions of the scale, which was translated into Turkish with the help of English and Turkish language experts, were applied to Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) English Language Teacher Education students (N = 46) one week apart, and it was determined that there was high correlation (r = .805, p=.05) between the scores of the students from both applications. Then, for examining the factor structures of the scale, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed with the data collected from 421 students who are studying at DEU and taking a basic physics course. It was determined that, by removing 5 items with factor loadings below .4 and the difference between factor loadings less than 0.1 from the scale, the scale could be collected under 3 factors compatible with the original factor structure. The scale was subjected to Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in order to test the compatibility of the three-factor structure of the scale determined by EFA. As a result of CFA, it was determined that the three-factor structure has sufficient compatibility with our data set (χ2/sd=1.96, RMSEA=.072; CFI=.82, GFI=.78, NFI=.88). Besides, the scale was subjected to discriminant analysis in order to determine how successful the ASSIST was in separating the learning approaches of students and to determine the discriminant functions. With Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, it was concluded that a student assigned to one of the 3 sub-dimensions in the scale could be considered significantly separated from other sub-dimensions, and thus the learning approaches of the students could be determined successfully.
