“…For that reason, they developed a scale with 30 items and four dimensions. Tortop (2013) adapted a scale into Turkish for assessing scientific field trip attitude. The study reveals that a single attitude might have different dimensions.…”

The aim of this study is to develop a science attitude scale (SAS). For that purpose, the literature review has been done for suggestions for creating scales and a new draft scale developed. The draft scale was analyzed by specialists and a pilot study is done after its approval by experts. The SAS is prepared with 21 items and among these, 11 items are reverse-coded. The SAS consists of Likert-type items. The sample of the study consists of 154 college students studying at the Faculty of Education, Elementary Science Education, and Elementary Education departments. Principal axis factoring with orthogonal rotation (varimax) was used for exploratory factor analysis. Factor eigenvalues were checked with respect to parallel analysis and numbers of the factors were determined with respect to the analysis. Items that did not serve the purpose of the scale were omitted from the SAS. The finalized SAS' Cronbach alpha value is .953. For confirmatory factor analysis data were collected from a different sample which consists of university students who were studying at elementary science education, elementary education, and electric electronic engineering departments. Number of sample is 201. Confirmatory factor analyses run through Amos 24.0 software. It is believed that SAS is a valuable contribution to the science education field since it has unidimensional structure and proved its item discrimination power, and alongside with an excellent internal consistency. SAS also offers opportunity to develop multidimensional science attitude scale. For that purpose, original SAS and English version of it are provided in appendixes.

“…Therefore, modification indices (MI) were evaluated. MI looks at the covariance between the observed and latent variables and suggests modifications for the model (Tortop, 2013). Upon evaluating the modification suggestions, the covariance value for Items 8 and 9 were found to contribute the most to the overall model fit.…”

This study aims to adapt the Existential Gratitude Scale (Jens-Beken & Wong, 2019) to Turkish culture and to examine the scale's psychometric properties in this respect. The study uses the convenience sampling method, and the sample consists of 286 participants between the ages of 18 to 53, of whom 212 (74.1%) are female and 74 (25.9%) are male. The structural validity of the scale has been examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The CFA results confirm the original EGS' one-dimensional structure over a Turkish sample, and the scale has good fit indices (χ 2 =94.655, df=34, χ 2 /df =2.784, GFI=0.936, NFI=0.930, CFI=0.954, SRMR=0.0420, and RMSEA=0.079). The factor loadings range from .46 to .77. For the criterion validity, Pearson correlations were calculated for the EGS with the Short Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Scale and Transpersonal Gratitude Scales, which resulted in significant positive correlations (respectively r=0.476 and r=0.579 at p= 05). The item-total correlation and comparison of the upper 27% and lower 27% groups were examined for the item analysis of the scale; these have revealed the EGS to possess satisfactory discriminating power. As a result of the reliability analysis, Cronbach's alpha of internal consistency was calculated as .893. This study shows the EGS to be a valid and reliable tool useable in the context of Turkey for measuring individuals' existential gratitude levels. The EGS can be a valuable tool for practitioners in mental health settings in developing appropriate interventions for individuals' coping skills in celebrating adversity.

The purpose of this study is to determine the thoughts and experiences of pre-service science teachers regarding scientific field trip. In the study, mixed methods including quantitative and qualitative dimensions were used. For quantitative data questionnaire technique and for qualitative data phenomenological designs were used. The sample of the study was composed of 41 pre-service science teachers who were all juniors. The data was collected using an questionnaire form which developed by researchers. Content analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were used to analyze the data. This study found that the pre-service teachers' expressions regarding their experiences of field trip were classified under three themes: contribution to the environmental sciences course, cognitive contribution to learning plant species and affective contribution. The pre-service teachers stated that field trips enhanced the permanence of their learning, contributed to the association of knowledge with daily life, and contributed to making observations about the subject. It also helped them to practice theoretical information; increased their motivation in the course and improved their psychomotor skills.
