Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a scale to determine the satisfaction levels of high school students towards school. The draft scale was piloted to 650 high school students studying in five central districts of Antalya in the 2020-2021 academic year. Afterwards, real application was made to 614 students. Rotated principal component analysis was used to obtain information about the validity of the scale over the obtained data. In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, principal component analysis and factor analyzes were performed and Promax oblique rotation was performed. In addition, Cronbach's α reliability was calculated to provide evidence for the reliability of the scale and was found to be .94. As a result of these analyzes, the Students' School Satisfaction Scale (SSSS) consisting of 6 factors and 43 items explaining 60% of the total variance was obtained. Item test correlations were calculated as evidence of item validity. Item test correlations were found to vary between .446 and .743. The results obtained prove that the scale is valid and reliable.
