Validity and Reliability Study of Listening Attitude Scale for Prospective Teachers

Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a measurement tool to measure listening/watching attitudes of pre-service teachers. 387 pre-service teachers were administered the scale and its validity and reliability studies were conducted by exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency measurement and confirmatory factor analysis. EFA revealed that the scale has four dimensions. To determine the reliability of the scale, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.928. In the principal component analysis, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) coefficient was found to be 0.937. In addition, Barlett Sphericity test was significant (χ2 = 4607.552; p
