Educational Outcome Expectations Scale: A Scale Development Study in a Sample of High School Students

Abstract

This study was carried out to develop an "Educational Outcome Expectations Scale" that aims to measure the outcome expectations of high school students from the education they receive or will receive regarding their career development, career decision-making processes, and academic/vocational goals. The data of the study were collected from two different study groups involving students from 9th to 12th grades in two stages for explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis. A two-factor and 11-item structure was obtained as a result of the explanatory factor analysis, and it was found that the two-factor structure was confirmed as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis. In addition, a similar scale validity study was conducted within the scope of the validity studies of the research, and it was determined that the coefficients obtained as a result of the study were within acceptable limits. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients calculated for the reliability study of the scale were found between .81 and .87, and the test-retest reliability coefficients were between .65 and .79. All the findings obtained from the studies and analyzes on the development of the educational outcome expectation scale reveal that the scale developed for high school students, consisting of two factors and 11 items, is valid and reliable.
