“…As seen in Table 2, the total variance explained for the five-factor structure of the scale is 57.372%. Gürer and Yıldırım (2014) state that it is sufficient for the total variance to be between 40% and 60% and for any factor to be significant, at least 5% of the total variance explained must be attributed to that factor. Therefore, it can be said that the factors in this study explain the variance at a sufficient level.…”

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to determine the attitudes towards the activities that can be applied to the mentally retarded students about biology and nature. During the preparation of the draft form of the scale, an item pool was created from relevant literature. Then, these items were presented to expert opinion in terms of language, intelligibility and content. This draft scale with 30 items in 5-point Likert type was applied to 177 pre-service teachers studying in the special education department of the faculty of education at a state university. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed for the data collected after the application. As a result of the analyses, it was revealed that the scale had a five-factor structure consisting of 20 items. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the factor structure was compatible with the data. Goodness of fit index values was sufficient. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.89. It can be said that the scale is valid and reliable in determining the views of pre-service teachers about the activities to be applied for mentally retarded students. In addition, the scale is suitable not only for teacher candidates, but also for use by teachers and researchers. In addition, different types of samples such as students in other fields at the undergraduate level and special education teachers who take courses related to special education can be included in the study group.

“…As shown in Table 2, the threefactor construct explained 49.767% of the total variance. The value of total variance between 40% and 60% is claimed to be sufficient for social science studies, and for any factor to be meaningful, at least 5% of the total variance explained should be attributable to that factor (16,39). In addition, according to the EFA results in Table 2, the factor loadings of nine items related to the first factor "Pets" of the ASTA vary between 0.555 and 0.722, and also explain 22.531% of the total variance.…”

The aim of this study is to adapt to Turkish the Attitude Scale towards the Treatment of Animals (ASTA). At the first stage, the linguistic validity of the translated scale was examined by utilizing the data obtained from 4 expert academicians and 24 university students. Upon satisfaction of the linguistic validity requirements, item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed, respectively. For this aim, the five-point Likert Scale composed of 30 items was administered to a total of 218 teachers to be enrolled in prospective biology and science departments of Kazim Karabekir Faculty of Education in Ataturk University. After item analysis and Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed, it was ascertained that the scale consisted of 19 items and three factors (pets, pests and profit). In order to analyse the triple factorial structure of the ASTA, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was carried out and the findings indicated that 19-item scale resulting in three factors is consistent and compatible with the data. Cronbach's Alpha for the overall scale was calculated as 0.827. As a result, the findings of this study indicate that the Turkish ASTA is a valid and reliable scale for Turkish students.
