Abstract
Accreditation is a quality assurance process by which authority, competency and credibility are certified. This research aims to develop an Accreditation Perception (AP) scale. The survey method was used in this study. Draft scale was applied to 738 students and faculty staff. It was applied in a university in the western black sea region in Turkey (738). According to the factor analysis results, KMO value of the AP scale is 0.964 and the Bartlett test value is 6.045E3 (Df =253, p=0.000). It is shown that variance of the scale is 43.357%. Factor loadings range from 0.538 to 0.692. The scale can be used as one-dimensional and a multi-dimensional. Sub-themes (Sub-dimensions) of the scale are quality assurance and quality assessment. There are a total of 17 items in the scale. Evaluation of the scale was like this: "Totally agree (5), Mostly agree (4), Partially agree (3), Slightly agree (2), Disagree (1)". In the scale, it was figured out that the correlation between parallel two half scores was 0.831. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the AP scale was 0.901. The validity and reliability analysis of the scale and the confirmatory factor analysis with AMOS program was performed (Chi-square=238.872, Df=117, X 2 /Sd=2.042, GFI=0.963, CFI=0.969, RMSEA=0.038). According to these results, the scale can be applied to students and faculty staff.
