Özet:

 This study has two purposes. The first of these is the adaptation of the Attitudes towards Sustainable Development ASD scale developed by Biasutti and Frate into Turkish and finding evidence of its factor structure, reliability and measurement invariance by gender. The second one is to examine teacher candidates attitudes towards sustainable development before and during Covid-19. For this purpose, two applications were conducted. The first application was conducted on 412 participants in the 2018-2019 spring semester before Covid-19, 291 of whom were female 70 and 121 male 30. The findings of the adaptation study have indicated that ASD is suitable to collect Turkish pre-service students attitudes towards sustainable development. The second application was conducted on 628 participants in the 2021-2022 spring semester during Covid-19, of whom 421 were female 67 and 207 were male 33. The participants were students of the faculty of education. As a result, before Covid-19, the environment and economy sub-scale means of males were higher than females. Total ASD, economy, society and education sub-scale mean of the females were higher than males during Covid-19. Finally, females total ASD, economy, society and education sub-scale mean during Covid-19 were higher than their pre-Covid-19 means. In all comparisons, no significant differences were found between the environmental sub-scale means of ASD.

 Bu çalışmanın iki amacı vardır. İlki, Biasutti ve Frate tarafından geliştirilen Sürdürülebilir Kalkınmaya Yönelik Tutum SKT ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanması ve faktör yapısı, güvenirliği ve cinsiyete göre ölçme değişmezliğine dair kanıtlar bulunmasıdır. İkincisi ise öğretmen adaylarının Covid-19 öncesi ve sırasında sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya yönelik tutumlarını incelemektir. Bu amaçla iki uygulama yapılmıştır. İlk uygulama 2018-2019 bahar döneminde Covid-19 öncesi 291i kadın 70, 121i erkek 30 olmak üzere toplam 412 katılımcı üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Uyarlama çalışmasının bulguları, OSBnin Türk öğretmen adaylarının sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya yönelik tutumlarını toplamak için uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. İkinci uygulama ise 2021-2022 bahar döneminde Covid-19 döneminde 421i kadın 67, 207si erkek 33 olmak üzere toplam 628 katılımcı üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Covid-19 öncesinde erkeklerin çevre ve ekonomi alt ölçek araçları kadınlara göre daha yüksekti. Covid-19 döneminde kadınların toplam OSB, ekonomi, toplum ve eğitim alt ölçek ortalaması erkeklere göre daha yüksekti. Son olarak, kadınların Covid-19 sırasındaki toplam OSB, ekonomi, toplum ve eğitim alt ölçek ortalamaları, Covid-19 öncesi ortalamalarından daha yüksekti. Yapılan tüm karşılaştırmalarda OSBnin çevresel alt ölçek ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.
