Education 5.0 Digital Learning Technologies Self-Efficacy Scale for Pre-Service Teachers: A Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that examined pre-service teachers’ digital learning technologies self-efficacy based on Education 5.0. Scale development stages were applied in the study. The participants consisted of 1083 pre-service teachers studying in education faculties at three different state universities during the 2022-2023 academic year. To assess the scale’s validity and reliability content, face and construct validities were examined. Besides, the dataset was divided into two equal parts (n=541) for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and (n=542) for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to confirm its validity and reliability. The analysis results revealed a 5-point Likert-type measurement tool consisting of 25 items and 5 different factors was obtained and confirmed by CFA. The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient was found as (≥.91), indicating strong internal consistency. The model fit indices (x^2/df = 2.145; p <.01; AGFI = .90, GFI = .92, CFI = .93, IFI = .93, RMSEA = .46, SRMR = .41, RMR = .40) were determined to be accepted with criterion value ranges. In conclusion, the study contributes a valid and reliable scale to the field for evaluating pre-service teachers’ digital learning technologies self-efficacy based on Education 5.0.
