Developing Reading Motivation Scale in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language: Reliability and Validity Study Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçenin Öğretiminde Okuma Motivasyonu Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi: Güvenirlik ve Geçerlik Çalışması
This study was conducted to develop a high reliability and validity scale that measures the perceptions of Turkish language learners about reading motivation. In this direction, a 63-item trial form was created by using written texts of the learners of Turkish as a foreign language and related studies in the literature. The items in the trial form were graded into five categories. The form was applied to 360 participants who learned Turkish as a foreign language. As a result of exploratory factor analysis performed with Varimax rotation, a five-factor structure with 29 items was obtained. As a result of factor analysis, total variance is 49.1%. The total variance explained by each factor was 12.84%; 10.34%; 10.12%; 8.2% and 7.59%. The eigenvalues for each factor were respectively 5.40; 3.15; 2.30; 1.94; 1.42. Alpha reliability of the scale was calculated as 0.843. Factor analysis findings revealed that the construct validity of the scale was achieved.
