The purpose of this research is to compensate the lack of research regarding the above-mentioned fields, and literature in particular, and to take a leading part to open the path for new studies regarding the subject. With regards to this purpose, it is planned to measure the attitude of high school students towards literature via an objective tool and thus, Attitude Scale Towards Literature (ASTL) was generated. The scale, which was implemented on 739 high school students during 2019-2020, consists of total 33 statements of which 20 are positive and 13 are negative. Respondents of the survey are students of three different schools and are from 4 different grade levels, namely 9, 10, 11 and 12th grades. With the aim of determining the factor pattern of the scale, principle components analysis was preferred as method of factoring and varimax was chosen as the spinning method. In accordance with these data, explanatory factor analysis was carried out on the scale and it was determined that the scale has a structure of two factors. The first factor is Attitude Towards Personal Development; and the second factor is Attitude Towards Internalization of Literature. Keywords: Literature, high school students, validity, reliability

The Relationship

The aim of this research is to determine the correlation between perceived class climate, motivation for achievement and school success among elementary and high school students. The research was conducted on a sample of 400 subjects. The instrument used for class climate survey is an Attitude scale, created as the combination of two instruments for measuring class climate. The MOP/D scale was used to survey motivation for achievement. The obtained results show that the quality of the overall class climate is not high, while the scores on the three dimensions of the class climate indicate that the students perceive Class Cohesion as the most favourable one, then the Teachers? Support and finally the Order and the Organisation. Significant differences in perceptions of class climate were found concerning age. Significant differences in perceptions of climate (both in the overall and in the Teachers? Support dimension) were also found with respect to the gender of the students. The findings indicate low positive correlations between perceived class climate and the motivation for achievement, and also between school success and the motivation for achievement. No correlation was found between the perceived class climate and school success. More detailed research shows that the climate dimensions Teachers? Support and Order and Organisation are significant predictors of the overall motivation for achievement and the Learning dimension, and that they are positively correlated. Learning and Persistence, the dimensions of the motivation for achievement, were found to be significant predictors of school success. A perceived class climate did not prove to be a significant predictor of school success, except for the Class Cohesion dimension, only on the subsample of high school students.

Research Population

It was aimed in this study to reveal and compare strategies of students of three types of high schools to cope with stress through leisure time. The research population consisted of high school students in Konya province, Turkey. The sample consisted of 280 male and 224 female vocational high school, Anatolian  high school and sports high school students. In the study, the Demographic Personal Information Form was used to collect personal information. The “Strategies to Cope with Stress through Leisure Time Scale” (SCSLTS) was used to identify the leisure time strategies. This scale was developed by Iwasaki and Mannell (2000). It was translated into Turkish, and its validity and reliability studies were conducted by Çevik, Özcan and Munusturlar (2018). No difference was found in the strategies of the students to cope with stress through leisure time according to the grade level, income, and maternal and paternal educational level factors. Statistical variations were observed based on the gender and sporting factors (p<.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mood enhancement dimension depending on the school type factor. However, it was found that the mean scores of the vocational high school students in terms of the dimensions of leisure time friendship and temporary coping ability were higher than those of the students of the other schools, and these differences were also statistically significant (p<.05). The vocational high school students had higher mean scores in the leisure time strategies sub-dimension than the students of other schools. Accordingly, it can be said that the leisure time strategy scores may differ according to the school type and that the students receiving vocational education were more optimistic in determining leisure time strategies than the students of Anatolian high school and sports high school.

Motivation Scale

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure the motivation of high school students to participate in physical activity. In the study, the relevant literature was searched and focus group interview was made with three different groups composed of 8 high school students, and an item pool with 55-item was created considering the opinions of experts. After the expert opinions were received, necessary corrections were made on the test form and applied to 308 high school students attending Ödemiş Anatolian High School and Ödemiş Ticaret Odası Anatolian High School in Ödemiş, İzmir in 2016-2017 academic year. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, the form, which is formed by 16 items and 3 sub-dimensions, accounts for 54.69% of the total variance. In the result of the CFA, the values of fit indices were examined and it was seen that the 3 factorial structure of the scale consisting of 16 items was confirmed as a model. The scale was found to be reliable according to Cronbach's Alfa internal consistency tested to determine the reliability of the scale and the Spearman Brown two-tailed reliability coefficient values. As a result, it was concluded that the "Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity (MSPPA)" is valid and reliable.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktiviteye katılım motivasyonlarını ölçebilmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Çalışmada ilgili literatür taranmış, üç farklı gruptan oluşan 8’er lise öğrencisi ile odak grup görüşmesi yapılmış ve uzman görüşleri göz önünde bulundurularak 55 maddelik bir madde havuzu oluşturulmuştur. Uzman görüşleri alındıktan sonra denemelik form üzerinde gerekli düzeltmeler yapılmış ve 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılında İzmir ili Ödemiş ilçesinde Ödemiş Anadolu Lisesi ve Ödemiş Ticaret Odası Anadolu Lisesi’nde öğrenimine devam eden 308 lise öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, 16 madde ve 3 alt boyuttan oluştuğu tespit edilen form, toplam varyansın %54,69’unu açıklamaktadır. Yapılan DFA sonucunda da uyum indeks değerlerine bakılmış ve 16 maddeden oluşan ölçeğin 3 faktörlü yapısının bir model olarak doğrulandığı görülmüştür. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini belirlemek için test edilen Cronbach-Alfa iç tutarlık ve Spearman Brown iki yarı güvenirlik katsayı değerlerine göre ölçeğin güvenilir olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, “Fiziksel Aktiviteye Katılım Motivasyonu Ölçeği (FAKMÖ)” nin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

The purpose of this research was to develop an instrument that can be used to measure higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in mathematics instructional of high school students. This research was conducted using a standard procedure of instrument development, from the development of conceptual definition, development of operational definitions, determination constructs, dimensions, and indicators, to the preparation of blue print, item preparation, expert validation, and testing. Data results from trials be analyzed using factor analysis and analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM). The data analysis shows that there are 9 factors HOTS that construct the instrument with good validity and reliability. This instrument classifies high school students in the five categories of HOTS ability. HOTS grouping results can be used by various interested institutions to evaluate the instructional of mathematics. These evaluations are used to determine the success of student learning and the success of teachers' teaching.
