Özet:

 

The purpose of this study was to adapt the Elementary Teachers Efficacy
and Attitudes towards STEM Survey (ET-STEM scale; Friday Institute for
Educational Innovation, 2012) into Turkish and test the validity and
reliability of the instrument. ET-STEM was administered to 313 elementary
teachers from different provinces of Turkey. An exploratory and confirmatory
factor analysis were conducted to examine the structural validity of the scale.
According to exploratory factor analysis results, the ET-STEM survey consists
of nine factors. The values of Cronbach's alpha of the factors ranged from
0.891 to 0.964, and corrected item-total scale correlation ranged from 0.313 to
0.417. After the exploratory factor analysis performed, the ET-STEM was
administered to 213 elementary school teachers. The results obtained from the
confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated adequate reliability and validity for
measuring the STEM competencies and attitudes of elementary school teachers.
