Ortaokul Öğrencileri İçin Matematik Sınavı Kaygısı Ölçeği: Bir Ölçek Geliştirme Çalışması

Abstract

-The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to determine middle school students' math test anxiety.For this purpose, the trial form prepared was presented to experts to receive feedback on the validity of the items.In line with the feedback from the experts, the content, structure and appearance validity of the items have been increased. Substances below .80 for content validity were not used in the study. 32-item trial form prepared was applied to 592 students from 8 different middle school that enrolled in the 7th grade. The Obtained data was analyzed. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a structure with 22 items and 3 factors, namely "Tension", "Affection" and "Delusion" has been reached. Then, by analyzing the relations between subscales of the scale, it was determined that the factors are in a positive and meaningful relationship with each other. By the analysis it was seen that subscales were the dimensions of a structure named Mathematical Test Anxiety. The Confirmatory factor analysis results of the model, in which the compliance goodness index scores were high, showed consistency with the exploratory factor analysis results. The internal consistency coefficient obtained for the whole scale was calculated as .848.

A moderated mediation analysis on the relationship between metacognition and mathematical resilience of gifted students

“…Revised MA Rating Scale was developed by Plake and Parker (1982) and adapted into Turkish by Akın et al (2011). There are a total of 24 items in the scale, which consists of two factors (mathematics learning anxiety includes 16 items and mathematical assessment anxiety includes eight items).…”

Reliability Generalization Meta-Analysis of Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Primary School Students

“…In Turkey, some scale development and adaptation studies were also carried out in order to measure the mathematics anxiety of students, teachers and parents (Akçakın et al, 2015;Akın et al, 2011;Baloğlu, 2005;Baloğlu & Balgamış, 2010;Bindak, 2005;Mutlu & Söylemez, 2018;Peker, 2006;Sarı, 2014;Şan & Akdağ, 2017;Üldaş, 2005;Yıldırım & Gürbüz, 2017). For instance, Akçakın et al (2015) adapted the Mathematics Anxiety Scale (MAS; Bai et al, 2009) into Turkish.…”

“…In another study, Baloğlu and Balgalmış (2010) adapted the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale Primary Education Form (MARS-E; Suinn et al, 1988) scale into Turkish. The Mathematics Exam Anxiety Scale (MEAS) was developed by Şan and Akdağ (2017) to determine the mathematics test anxiety of middle school students. The Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Primary School Students, developed by Bindak (2005), was also developed to determine the mathematics anxiety levels of primary school students.…”
