Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the study is to adapt “Short Version of Scale of Service Learning Involvement” (SSLI), developed by Olney and Grande in 1995, into Turkish and report the validity and reliability studies. Pre-service teachers (n= 313) enrolled to a community service learning course in a public university in Turkey, and completed SSLI. Results of language equivalency showed that the correlation coefficients between Turkish and English forms ranged between .41 to .86. Results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the scale which was reduced to 30 items from 64 items and the 30 items loaded on three factors. The total variance explained was 43.3 % and factor loadings ranged between .33 to .65. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a three factors structure of the SV-SSLI provided a good fit to the observed data. The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale was found as .85 and the test-retest reliability coefficient was found as .81. Based upon the results of the validity and reliability studies, it was determined that the adapted Turkish form of the inventory is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to determine the social responsibility levels of pre-service teachers and their views about the community service learning in teacher training curriculum and their social responsibility levels through service-learning.
