Öz-Düzenlemeli Çevrimiçi Öğrenme Ölçeğini Türkçe'ye Uyarlama Çalışması

Abstract

The aim of this study was to adapt the "Self-Regulated Online Learning Questionnaire" into Turkish, and to present the validity and reliability of the results of the scale. The original form of the scale, which is in English, consists of five factors (metacognitive skills, help seeking, time management, persistence and environmental structuring) and of 36 items. First of all, each item of the Self-Regulated Online Learning Questionnaire (SOL-Q) is translated into Turkish with the support of language experts. The processes, assisted by four language experts, involved a translation which is followed by a back-translation. To ascertain construct validity of the Turkish language equivalence scale, it was applied to 569 university students who were taking at least one of the campus-based common compulsory courses via distance learning. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, it was observed that the scale comprised of five-dimensions as in original scale. According to the results, factor loadings were calculated between .393 and .906, the total eigenvalue of the scale was 22.34 and the total variance explained by the sample was corresponded to 62.06%. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis implemented with a different sample consisting of 128 university students, acceptable fit indices [x2/df=4.21; RMSEA=.071; CFI=.99] were obtained. As a result of reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha values are ranging between .70 and .95 for each sub-dimensions of the scale. According to the results, it is thought that the "Self-Regulated Online Learning Questionnaire" can be used to measure self-regulation behaviors in the online learning process.
