ADAPTATION OF TEACHER SENSE OF EFFICACY SCALE TOWARD LITERACY INSTRUCTION INTO TURKISH LANGUAGE
This present research aimed to adapt teacher sense of efficacy scale toward literacy instruction into Turkish language. The data for factor analysis and Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency reliability was obtained from a total of 656 undergraduate students (116 male and 540 female) studying at three public universities. The scale, which is consisted of 22 items, revealed one-factor model and explained 43% variance. Factor loading of the scale ranged from .50 to .77.Item-total correlations were from .45 to .74. Beside this, the internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha= ?) .93. The item analysis of 27% upper and lower group means calculation yielded a statistically significant “t value”. Additionally, confirmatory factor analysis resulted good and high fit indices. And this showed that one-factor model of the scale was acceptable.
