Sanal Dünya Risk Algısı Ölçeğinin Ortaokul Düzeyine Uyarlanması

Abstract

In this study, Virtual World Risk Perception Scale which was developed to determine the virtual risk perception levels of high school students was adapted to the secondary school level. The scale is a five-point Likert type and consists of 23 items divided into five sub-dimensions. The study group consisted of 261 students in 7th and 8th grade in a secondary school in Sakarya. The validity and reliability of the scale were tested and confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency coefficients and stability analyzes were examined. In the light of the analyzes, it was concluded that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can measure the virtual risk perceptions of secondary school students. Cronbach Alpha, Guttmann Split Half and Sperman Brown values were calculated for the reliability of the whole scale and sub-dimensions. As a result, Dünya virtual corruption “, “virtual deterioration “, “virtual opportunity “, “virtual opportunity” and “virtual awareness”, the five sub-factors and 23 items, which were judged to be valid and reliable as a result of the analysis, the Virtual World Risk Perception Scale (VWRPS) is expected to be a scale that is open to development, usable and fills the gap in the relevant literature.
