Özet:

 In this study, a measurement tool has been developed to measure how competent social workers feel professionally in Turkey. Data obtained from a total of 522 participants were used for validity and reliability tests. For content validity, the opinions of 16 experts were taken and a draft scale consisting of 40 items was formed. In the confirmatory factor analysis, CFI comparative fit index 0.97, SRMR square root of standardized mean errors 0.055, RMSEA root mean square of error squares  0.058, NNFI normed fit index  0.97 was obtained. The sub-dimensions of the scale are named as professional knowledge, professional skill and professional value. Test-retest method and Cronbach Alpha were used for the reliability tests of the scale. In order to test the invariance of the scale with respect to time, the form was administered to 28 participants twice, with an interval of 15 days. The Pearson Correlation value of the total scores of the two tests was found to be ,701. Total Cronbach Alpha value of the scale was ,934, Cronbach Alpha values of sub-dimensions were professional knowledge  ,846 , professional skill ,885 , professional value  .857. As a result of the study, a scale consisting of 3 sub-dimensions and 40 items providing valid and reliable results was obtained.

 Bu çalışmada Türkiyede sosyal hizmet uzmanı olarak çalışanların mesleki olarak kendilerini ne kadar yetkin hissettiğini ölçecek bir ölçme aracı geliştirilmiştir. Geçerlik ve güvenirlik testleri için toplam 522 katılımcıdan elde edilen verilerden yararlanılmıştır. Kapsam geçerliği için 16 uzmanın görüşü alınmış ve 40 maddelik bir taslak ölçek oluşmuştur. Yapı geçerliği için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi yapılmasına karar verilmiştir. Yapılan Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizinde CFI karşılaştırmalı uyum endeksi 0.97; SRMR standartlaştırılmış ortalama hataların karekökü 0.055; RMSEA hata karelerinin ortalamasının karekökü  0.058; NNFI normlaştırılmamış uyum indeksi  0.97 olarak elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin alt boyutları mesleki bilgi, mesleki beceri ve mesleki değer olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirlik testleri için test-tekrar test yöntemi ve Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin zamana karşı değişmezliğini test etmek amacıyla form, 28 katılımcıya 15 gün arayla iki kez uygulanmıştır. İki testin toplam puanlarının Pearson Korelasyon değeri .701 bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin toplam Cronbach Alpha değeri .934; alt boyutlarının Cronbach Alpha değerleri sırasıyla mesleki bilgi .846; mesleki beceri .885; mesleki değer .857 olarak bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın sonucunda 3 alt boyut ve 40 maddeden oluşan, geçerli ve güvenilir sonuçlar sunan bir ölçek elde edilmiştir.
