- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to adapt the Goal Orientation Scale revised by Elliot, Murayama, and Pekrun (2011) based on the 3 x 2 model into Turkish and to conduct the validity and reliability analyses. The scale had been administered to pre-service teachers who were taking university level "Educational Psychology" course. The research consisted of two parts as pilot and main studies. A total of 198 pre-service teachers participated in the pilot study while 311 pre-service teachers attended to the main study. The hypothesized 3 x 2 model was tested against all alternative models conducting confirmatory factor analyses for the pilot and main studies. As a result of pilot study, although it was seen that the fit indices were better for the 3 x 2 model, none of the tested models fitted to the data. Some revisions were made in the sentence structure of the items considering the expert opinions. Consistent with the original study, the results of the main study supported only the sixdimensional factor structure (task-approach, task-avoidance, self-approach, selfavoidance, other-approach, and other-avoidance) compared to all alternative models. In addition, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were found to be satisfactory for each sub-dimension. As a result of this study, the scores obtained by using Turkish version of the scale were found to be valid and reliable. Accordingly, separating the mastery goals in the 2 x 2 model as "task" and "self" goals in the 3 x 2 model was found to be appropriate for Turkish sample.
