- Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop a valid and reliable scale to determine the science attitudes of 4th grade students. For this purpose, the study was designed according to the survey design, one of the quantitative research method designs. The sample of the research consisted of students studying in Yeşilyurt and Battalgazi districts of Malatya in the 2021-2022 academic year. Simple random sampling method was used to determine the sample. In the study, a total of 1052 students were included in the sample, 369 students in the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) stage and 683 students in the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), different from the sample taken in the EFA. In the research, first of all, an item pool was created in accordance with the purpose of the research and expert opinion was taken for content validity. The scale, which was modified according to expert opinions, was prepared in triple Likert type and applied. EFA and CFA were performed to determine the construct validity of the scale. As a result of the EFA, the scale consists of 12 items and 3 sub-dimensions. The scale meets the model fit index values as a result of CFA. The sub-dimensions of the scale were named as "love", "extracurricular science" and "interest". These three sub-dimensions explained 51.39% of the total variance. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients of the scale were found to be .68 in the "love" sub-dimension, .71 in the "extracurricular science" sub-dimension, .61 in the "interest" dimension, and .73 in the whole scale. As a result, a valid and reliable scale that will contribute to the literature on determining the attitudes of the primary school 4th grade students towards science has been obtained.
