“…In this technique, a scale is translated into the target language by one translator and then translated back into the source language by another independent translator who is blinded to the original questionnaire. The two source-language versions are then compared (Sperber, 2004;Looman & Farrag, 2009). Then, it was proofread by 48 students.…”

The success of educational change inevitably depends on the quality and performance of teachers. Therefore, the importance of employing high quality teachers is crucial for educational systems. Choosing talented and committed brains to teaching career depends on making it an attractive profession. It is considered that there are some reasons why student teachers choose teaching as a career. Many studies reveal that while some students choose this profession with altruistic-intrinsic and extrinsic reasons, some others choose it under the influence of others. This study aims to determine for what reasons student teachers choose teaching profession as a career. The study was carried out quantitively and 1410 student teachers participated in this research. Results revealed that students chose teaching mostly with altruistic-intrinsic reasons. In this respect, while the female students chose it with altruistic-intrinsic reasons, the students from poor and crowded families and the male counterparts chose it with extrinsic reasons.

“…The original LSCS development study found the scale to have good psychometric properties including high test-retest reliability (r =.9), internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=.84) and construct validity (evaluated through factor analysis and correlation with other measures) (Looman, 2006). The scale has also been found to be reliable and valid in other cultural populations (Looman & Farrag, 2009). As this was the first time using this scale on an adolescent population, reliability analyses were carried out.…”

The study explored the social capital of Australian adolescents who were deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and their parents, and investigated the relationship between social capital and individual characteristics, language, literacy, and psychosocial outcomes. Sixteen adolescents (ages 11-14 years) and 24 parents enrolled in the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study completed an online questionnaire on social capital and psychosocial outcomes. Information about demographics, language, and literacy was retrieved from the LOCHI study database. On average, parent-rated social capital was positively related to adolescent-rated social capital, but not to child outcomes. Aspects of adolescent-reported social capital were significantly related to the adolescents' language and reading skills, but not to psychosocial outcomes. This study gives support to the promotion of social capital in adolescents who are DHH and their families, and considers how social capital promotion could be applied in interventions.

The purpose of the study was to adapt the 21st Century Skills Teaching Scale into Turkish Culture. The research was conducted with 233 prospective teachers in the Fall Term of 2019-2020 Academic Year. The scale serves the purpose of measuring prospective teachers' self-efficacy perceptions regarding the teaching of 21 st century skills and consists of 10 items and three factors. Sub-factors of the scale are utility of technology, collaboration and innovation & problem solving. In the adaptation process of the scale to Turkish, linguistic validity, conceptual and experiential equivalence, construct validity, criterion validity and reliability studies were carried out. In order to ensure the linguistic validity of the Turkish form of the scale, translation back translation technique was applied and expert opinions were asked. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied to test the construct validity. To test the criterion validity, the correlation between the whole scale and each sub-factor was examined. Within the scope of reliability studies, Cronbach Alfa (internal consistency) reliability coefficients of the scale, halftest reliability, item total correlations and item discrimination values were calculated. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the 21 st Century Skills Teaching Scale Turkish Form is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to measure the self-efficacy perceptions of prospective teachers regarding 21 st century skills teaching.
