Özet:

 


This research aims to complete Turkish adaptation,
validity and reliability studies for the Math and Me Survey developed by
Adelson and McCoach for use in determining the students’ attitudes towards
mathematics in the transition from primary school to middle school. Within the
scope of validity and reliability studies for the scale, data gathered from
1169 primary school students had item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and
confirmatory factor analysis performed. In line with this, 18 items from the
original scale were translated to Turkish and item equivalence between the
original English and Turkish translation was ensured. During item analysis to
determine the construct validity of the scale, an item with low item total
correlation value was removed from the scale. The Cronbach alpha coefficient
was calculated as .93. The Cronbach alpha coefficients from the scale
subdimensions of Enjoyment and Self-Perception were calculated as .91 and .88.
The confirmatory factor analysis results for the scale revealed perfect fit
with the construct determined in the exploratory factor analysis results. Thus,
the Math and Me survey can be said to be a valid and reliable tool for use in
Turkish culture.
