Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyzes were conducted within the scope of validity analysis. It was determined that each of the 12 sub-domains in the SSC measures a structure, the two-dimensional structure of the SSC was verified by performing CFA over these sub-domains` totals. Criterion validity examined according to opinions of the teachers. Within the scope of the reliability of the measurement tool; Cronbach's alpha, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability were assessed. Internal consistency coefficients were found to be 0.99, and test-retest reliability coefficients were found to be between 0.99 and 1.00.
