LEGO Robotik Öğretim Uygulamalarının Kabulü Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışmaları

Abstract

In the scope of the study it was aimed to develop the acceptance scale of LEGO robotics instructional practices to determine the prospective teachers’ acception of LEGO robotics instructional practices. Scale development study was carried out with the help of 360 prospective teachers having been educated at Bartin University during the 2016-2017 academic semester. Before testing form of the scale was applied to the prospective teachers, they had been introduced on LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set and how to integrate these sets into learning and teaching process. Item analysis studies were done with the correlational analysis method and the factor structure of the scale was determined with the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis studies indicated the scale had one factor and four components. The components of the scale was called as perceived benefit, perceived easy use, intention to use and attitude. Cronbach Alpha reliability parameter of the whole scale was found as .956 and Cronbach Alpha reliability parameters of the components of the scale were found respectively as .924; .929; .834, .915. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis studies as well as Cronbach Alpha parameters indicated the acceptance scale of LEGO robotics instructional practices has been a reliable and valid data collection tool.
