İnsanları birbirine bağlayan, toplumun devamını sağlayan değerler kültürel ve toplumsal olarak bir arada yaşama imkânı sunan unsurların başında gelir. Değerler, kişilerin ve toplumların davranış biçimlerini ve yaşayışlarını etkiler. Eğitimin amacı bireye sadece bilgi aktarmak değil belirlenmiş öğretim programlarının dışında bazı alışkanlık, değer ve tutumları da kazandırmaktır. Ülkemizde uygulanan eğitim sisteminde, ders kitapları temel ders malzemesi konumundadır. Ders kitaplarındaki metinlerde, kültürel ve toplumsal değerlerin yabancı kaynaklardan değil, yerli kaynaklardan temin edilmesi öğrencilerin değerleri kazanma sürecini olumlu yönde etkileyecektir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında Türk diline ait eserlerin önemi bir kat daha artmaktadır. Bu eserlerden biri, dinî ve tasavvufi nitelik
This study aimed at developing a valid and reliable scale to determine middle school students' sense of school belonging. In this respect, the relevant literature on the concept of belonging was reviewed, interviews were conducted with field experts and middle school students to determine items to be included in the scale. An item pool was created based on the findings of these processes. Later, a pilot form was prepared by taking the opinions of 2 field and 2 measurement and evaluation experts so as to ensure that the scale items represent the structure measured. This form was administered to 287 middle school students studying in the 2018-2019 academic year, and the final scale obtained as a result of exploratory factor analysis was applied to 568 middle school students in a different school. For validity evidence, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and hypothesis test findings; for reliability, findings of Cronbach Alpha and composite reliability coefficients were used. According to the exploratory factor analysis, the scale consisted of 4 factors with 23 items, and the total variance explained was 63.88%. As a result of the secondorder confirmatory factor analysis of the obtained structure, the fit indices of the unidimensional model showed that the model was verified. The internal consistency coefficient of the developed model was α = .92 and the composite reliability coefficient was .97. These findings showed that the scale had psychometric properties that could be used in future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
