Physics Course Attitudes Scale for High School Students: A Validity and Reliability Study

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.

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.

Motivation Scale

This study is an adaptation of Science Motivation Scale, developed by Glynn and Koballa, into Turkish and reports validity and reliability of the adapted scale. The sample consisted of 1354 high school students from Ankara and Edirne. The data collected from different types of high schools was analyzed and moderately similar factor structures were found as in the original scale. Based on the principal component analysis, four dimensions which were self-efficacy in learning science, anxiety about science assessment, extrinsically motivated science learning, and intrinsically motivated science learning were determined. These four dimensioned model was analyzed via confirmatory factor analysis and moderate fit was determined. In addition, validity analysis supports the validity of scores on the four-factor model. The Cronbach alpha reliability was found to be 0.913. This scale aims to determine high school students' motivation to learn chemistry. The distinction of this scale is that determining student motivation on learning chemistry rather than asking for general questions in science. The findings of the study are meant to contribute to the chemistry education field by providing an adapted scale.

Artikel ini bermaksud mengevaluasi validitas dan reliabilitas skala kematangan karir. Skala kematangan karir dirancang untuk mengumpulkan data penelitian tentang tingkat kematangan karir pada siswa SMA. Skala tersebut terdiri dari 12 item pernyataan yang disesuaikan dengan konstruk kematangan karir, yakni: kepercayaan diri dalam karir (KDK), ketidakpastian pilihan karir (KPK), dan pengetahuan terhadap karir (PTK). Hasil analisis faktor konfirmatori mengindikasikan tiga konstruk model cocok (p-vales= 0.50; RMSEA= 0.00; NFI= 0.99; CFI=1.00; GFI=0.99; AGFI=0.98). Selanjutnya, 7 dari 12 item pernyataan skala kematangan karir terbukti valid (stadardized loading berkisar antara 0.52 hingga 0.72; t-values berkisar antara 8.08 hingga 12.25) dan dua dari tiga konstruk skala kematangan karir reliabel (KPK=0.68; PTK=0.70). Hal tersebut menunjukan bahwa skala kematangan karir masih dapat digunakan sebagai instrumen pengumpul data dan alat asesmen. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the career maturity scale. The career maturity scale is designed to collect research data on the level of career maturity in high school students. It is consists of 12 statement items tailored to the constructs of career maturity: career confidence, uncertainty of career choice, and career knowledge. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the three constructs of model was well fit (p-vales= 0.50; RMSEA= 0.00; NFI= 0.99; CFI=1.00; GFI=0.99; AGFI=0.98). Further, seven out of 12 statement items on career maturity scale proved valid (standardized loading ranged from 0.52 to 0.72; t-values ranged from 8.08 to 12.25) and two of the three constructs of career maturity scale are reliable (KPK=0.68; PTK=0.70). This shows that the scale of career maturity can still be used as an instrument for data collection and assessment tools.
