It is known that language skills are generally divided into two main areas: receptive and expressive language. Reading and listening/ monitoring are expressed as receptive language skills based on understanding, and speaking and writing are expressed as expressive language skills based on narration. Although it is seen that reading is in comprehension-based language skills and writing is in narrative-based language skills in academic and functional language usage process; these two skills have a number of similar characteristics, such as the fact that they are basically written language skills and are based on formal education. Based on these similarities, the quality of the relationship between reading and writing skills paved the way for the study. In this context, the aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between reading and writing skills of fourth grade primary school students. The study group consisted of 141 fourth grade students attending 3 different primary schools in the city center of Kayseri during the fall semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study group, easily accessible sampling method was used to speed up the research. "Reading Comprehension Test" developed by Kocaarslan (2015) was used to determine students' reading achievement levels and "6 + 1 Analytical Writing and Evaluation Scale" developed by Özkara (2007) was used to determine the writing success levels of the students. In this research, which is a correlational study designed in descriptive model, descriptive and predictive analyzes were used to determine the relationship between reading and writing skills of fourth grade students. The data were analyzed by using simple linear regression analysis for predicting
This study aims to develop an attitude scale for the measurement of classroom and preschool teachers' attitudes towards educational games. Using a five-point Likert scale, a final form consisting of 48 items were applied to 405 different preSchool and classroom Teachers working in different cities of Turkey. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were conducted on the data in order to prove construct validity of the scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis demonstrated that the scale had a construct with two sub-factors. The first sub-factor consisting of 14 items explains 46.09% of the variance for the related attitude variable, while the second sub-factor consisting of 6 items explains 13.42% of the variance for the related attitude variable. Both sub-factors explain 59.51% of the variance for the related attitude variable. These factors were named as "positive attitude" and "negative attitude" by the authors. In addition, item test correlation was performed in order to prove item validity, and it was observed that item test correlations varied between 0.55 and 0.81. Confirmatory factor analysis was also performed to verify the construct obtained from exploratory factor analysis, and it was calculated as [χ2/df=3.54 (p=.
