Classroom Climate Perceived By Students Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study / Öğrenciler Tarafından Algılanan Sınıf İklimi Ölçeği: Geçerlik Ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

The main goal of this research is to develop a “Classroom Climate Perceived by Students Scale” for Vocational School 9 th grade target, and to carry out validity and reliability analysis. To achieve this goal literature was reviewed and 54 items was written according to peer support, teacher support, satisfaction and academic proficiency dimension. According to the analysis, which carried out by direct oblimin rotation, 29 items left and accumulated under four dimensions. Peer support dimension explains %31.46, teacher support dimension explains %10.73, satisfaction dimension explain %4.76 and academic efficacy dimension explains %3.41 of total variance. Items separate group significantly (p < .001) according to item-total correlation and top-down groups ttest. Dimensions’ Cronchbach Alpha reliabilities respectively are .903; .886; .860 and .787, while Guttman splithalf reliabilities respectively .90; .88; .66 and .70. As a result the scale, which similar scale reliability is occurred on 229 students, a reliable and valid scale.
