Özet:

 This study aims to develop an attitude scale toward religious education at school to determine high school students attitudes toward Religious Education RE. The study was conducted with 607 high school students, 293 for exploratory factor analysis and 314 for confirmatory factor analysis. The attitude scale toward religious education at school and a personal information questionnaire were used to collect the research data. Initially, an item pool consisting of 73 items was created. According to the expert opinions and the results of the pilot application, a 53-item scale form was reached and applied before the exploratory factor analysis. After exploratory factor analysis, 25 items were removed from the scale, and a new scale comprised 28 items before confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, three more items were removed from the scale, and the final structure with 25 items was reached. The attitude scale toward religious education at school consists of three factors attitude toward the RE, Religious Culture and Ethics Knowledge course, and Religious Culture and Ethics Knowledge teachers and 25 items. The total variance explaining the three factors was found to be 57.35. The KaiserMeyerOlkin value of the scale was 0.936; the Barletts test value is 4814.065. This shows that the scale is suitable for factor analysis, and the data obtained from the sample are sufficient. As a result of reliability analysis, Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient .963; The split-half reliability analysis value was .797 and the t-test results conducted between the 27 lower and upper group scores to determine the discrimination levels of the dimensions were found t8533.55, 29.62, 47.77, 40.60; p  .01 respectively. Since the confirmatory factor analysis results meet the model fit indices, which are the essential criteria, at a very good level, it is considered that the structure created is also suitable from the statistical and theoretical perspectives. In conclusion, it has been determined that the 25-item attitude scale toward religious education at school developed for high school students is valid and reliable.

 Bu araştırmada ortaöğretim okullarında öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerin din eğitimine yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek için din eğitimine yönelik tutum ölçeğinin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma, AFA için 293 ve DFA için 314 olmak üzere toplam 607 lise öğrencisiyle yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verilerini toplamak için okulda din eğitimine yönelik tutum ölçeği ODEYTÖ ile kişisel bilgi anketi kullanılmıştır. Öncelikle 73 maddenin yer aldığı bir madde havuzu oluşturulmuştur. Uzman görüşleri ve pilot uygulama sonuçlarına göre AFA öncesi 53 maddeden oluşan bir ölçek formuna ulaşılmış ve uygulanmıştır. AFA sonrası 25 madde ölçekten çıkarılarak DFA öncesi 28 maddeden oluşan yeni ölçek formu elde edilmiştir. DFA sonucu 3 madde daha ölçekten çıkarılarak 25 maddeli son yapıya ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak ODEYTÖ, üç boyut din eğitimine yönelik tutum, DKAB dersine yönelik tutum ile DKAB öğretmenine yönelik tutum ve 25 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Üç boyutun açıklandığı toplam varyans 57,35 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin KMO Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin değeri, 0,936; Barlett test değeri, 4814,065tir. Bu durum ölçeğin faktör analizi için uygun ve örneklemden elde edilen verilerin yeterli olduğunu göstermektedir. Güvenirlik çalışmaları sonucunda Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı ,963; ikiye ayırma güvenirlik analiz değeri ,797 ve boyutların ayırt edicilik düzeylerini belirlemek için 27lik alt-üst grup puanları arasında yapılan t-test sonuçları sırasıyla t8533,55, 29,62, 47,77, 40,60; p  ,01 olarak tespit edilerek anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu görülmüştür. DFA sonuçları temel ölçüt olan model uyum indekslerini oldukça iyi düzeyde karşıladığı için oluşturulan yapının istatistiksel ve kuramsal açılardan da uygun olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Sonuç olarak lise öğrencilerine yönelik geliştirilen 25 maddelik ODEYTÖnün geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu belirlenmiştir.
