Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study is to adapt “Star Properties Concept Inventory-SPCI” developed by Bailey, Johnson, Prather, and Slater (2012) into Turkish, and to make validity and reliability analyses of the inventory. The original inventory is consisted of 22 items. The study is conducted with the participation of 386 students from three different universities. Preservice science teachers and fourth grade astronomy students are formed this research group. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient is determined as 0.82 for the inventory. As a result of item analysis of data gained from application of inventory; item discrimination indexes are found between 0.07 and 0.73, item difficulty indexes are found between 0.13 and 0.75. While the average of test is found as 7.27, the average difficulty is 0.33. The content validity is determined by taking expert opinions.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Bailey, Johnson, Prather ve Slater (2012) tarafından geliştirilen “Star Properties Concept Inventory-SPCI” Yıldız Özellikleri Kavram Envanterini (YÖKE) Türkçeye uyarlamak ve Türkçe uyarlamanın güvenirlik ve geçerlik çalışmasını yapmaktır. Envanterin orijinali 22 sorudan oluşmaktadır. Araştırma üç farklı üniversiteden toplam 386 öğrencinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma örneklemi, astronomi bölümü dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri ile fen ve teknoloji öğretmen adaylarından oluşmaktadır. Cronbach alfa katsayısı ölçme aracı için 0.82 olarak belirlenmiştir. Kavram testinin uygulanması sonucu elde edilen verilerin madde analizi sonucunda maddelerin ayırıcılık güçlerinin 0.07 ile 0.73 arasında, madde güçlük indislerinin de 0.13 ile 0.75 arasında olduğu bulunmuştur. Testin ortalaması 7.27 bulunurken, testin ortalama güçlüğü de 0.33’tür. Testin kapsam geçerliği uzman görüşleri alınarak belirlenmiştir.
