Özet:

 The purpose of this research is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure teacher perceptions of school administrators competencies in sensemaking. Within the scope of the research, an item pool was created by making use of the literature and interviews with teachers, and expert opinion was sought for content validity. The data of the study were collected from two different study groups consisting of 626 teachers working in public primary, secondary and high schools in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the analysis of the data, item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and first and second-level confirmatory factor analysis were performed and reliability coefficients were calculated. As a result of item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, a scale consisting of a total of 26 items and four sub-dimensions was obtained. The resulting sub-dimensions were named as cognitive processes, effective communication, adaptation to change, and crisis management. The findings obtained as a result of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale had an acceptable fit. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient, which was calculated as .86 for the reliability of the scale, revealed that the scale was quite reliable. According to these findings, it was determined that the School Administrators Sensemaking Competencies Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul yöneticilerinin anlam yaratma yeterliklerine ilişkin öğretmen algılarını ölçmeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Araştırma kapsamında alanyazından ve öğretmenlerle yapılan görüşmelerden faydalanılarak madde havuzu oluşturulmuş ve kapsam geçerliği için uzman görüşüne başvurulmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı kamu ilkokul, ortaokul ve liselerde görev yapan 626 öğretmenden oluşan iki farklı çalışma grubundan toplanmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde madde analizi, açımlayıcı faktör analizi, birinci ve ikinci düzey doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve güvenirlik katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Madde analizi ve açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda toplam 26 madde ve dört alt boyuttan oluşan bir ölçek elde edilmiştir. Ortaya çıkan alt boyutlar bilişsel süreçler, etkili iletişim, değişime uyum ve kriz yönetimi olarak adlandırılmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda elde edilen bulgular ölçeğin kabul edilebilir bir uyuma sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirliği için .86 olarak hesaplanan Cronbach Alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı ölçeğin oldukça güvenilir olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu bulgulara göre, Okul Yöneticilerinin Anlam Yaratma Yeterlikleri Ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
