| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to examine scale adaptation studies in thefield of science education in terms of content, method as well as to determinethe general guidelines used in the scale adaptation process. The population ofthis study included a total of 145 journals published in the field of scienceeducation in Turkey. A total of 46 adaptation studies which were published in25 journals were selected from this population by using the purposive samplingmethods comprise of the study sample. Meta-synthesis method was used for thedata analysis in this study. Results of the study showed that adaptationstudies in Turkey were mostly conducted in the self-efficacy area. It wasdetermined that all studies calculated the internal consistency coefficient andthat likert-type scales were commonly used. This study also determined that thelanguage validity stage was not sufficiently discussed and was only brieflymentioned in the examined adaptation studies. It was found that none of thestudies translated original test guidelines to target language. This study concluded that all of the adaptedstudies did not get official permissions for the pilot study. In addition, itwas found that the researchers preferred to use CFA (Confirmatory FactorAnalysis) and EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) methods together for theconstruct validity. |
