Abstract
The purpose of this research is to conduct validity and reliability studies of the Scale for the Determining Social Participation for Children, developed to measure social participation skills of children aged 7-10 years. During the development of the scale, pilot schemes, validity analyzes, and reliability analyzes were conducted. In this context, the research was carried out with a total of 472 elementary school students in the ages of 7-10 years using the descriptive survey model. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to examine the factor structure of the scale and it was determined that the scale had a structure consisting of 16 items and one dimension and that this model had a good level of model fit. In order to examine the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and split-half reliability analyzes were performed and it was found that the scale had sufficient reliability. It can be said that the Scale for the Determining Social Participation for Children is a reliable and valid measurement tool that can be used to measure the social participation skills of students aged 7-10 years.
Highlights
As a social being, the individual is expected to acquire some skills that will make it easier for him to accommodate with the society he lives in
It can be said that the scale has internal consistency and is reliable as the internal consistency coefficients obtained for the one-factor structure of the scale in all internal consistency and split-half reliability analyses done to for the reliability analysis of the Scale for Determining the Social Participation Skills for Children are at good levels
When these results obtained from the reliability and validity analyzes are evaluated, it can be said that the Scale for Determining the Social Participation Skills for Children is a reliable and valid measuring tool that can be used in the process of examining social participation skills of children aged 7-10
Summary
The individual is expected to acquire some skills that will make it easier for him to accommodate with the society he lives in. Acquisition of these skills, which are expressed as social skills, is possible with the fact that the individual enters social environments and interact with others. Social skills enable the individual to interact positively with other individuals in the community he lives in. Social skills include learned behaviors that depend on the social norms of the community in which the individuals live and are used by the individuals for a specific purpose (Stanley, 2010)
