Development of a Traditional and Digital Home Early Literacy Environment Scale

Öz

In this study, the Traditional and Digital Home Early Literacy Environment Scale was developed to comprehensively evaluate literacy opportunities provided in the home environment during early childhood, encompassing both traditional and digital components. The 49-item draft scale, created based on a literature review and expert opinions, was tested using data obtained from 356 parents within the scope of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and a seven-factor structure explaining 62.638% of the total variance was obtained. To test the construct validity, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed using data collected from 358 parents; the model's fit indices were found to be at an acceptable level. The discriminant power of the items was supported by item-total correlations and upper-lower group analyses. The Cronbach Alpha value for the entire scale was .938, and high internal reliability values were achieved at the factor level. The findings indicate that the developed scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that assesses the home literacy environment in early childhood, considering both digital and traditional components.
