- Abstract
This study investigates the validity and reliability of the scale which was obtained by adapting the "Trust in Science and Scientists Inventory" developed by Nadelson et al. into Turkish simplified for middle school students to understand. As a result of the Exploratory Factor Analysis, the total variance accounted for by the twofactor scale containing a total of 16 items was found 57.442%. Cronbach a values were used to calculate the internal consistency of the factors (0.928 and 0.814, respectively). The Cronbach a internal consistency coefficient for the whole scale was calculated as 0.822. Then, Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggested that the two-factor model was compatible with the data. The results of the study show that the scale adapted into Turkish is a valid and reliable educational measurement tool for middle school students.
