Adaptation of the Teacher Formative Assessment Literacy Scale into Turkish Culture: A Validity and Reliability Study
Abstract
This study aimed to adapt the “Teacher Formative Assessment Literacy Scale”, developed by Yan and Pastore (2022), into Turkish culture by conducting validity and reliability studies with the aim of determining teachers’ literacy in formative assessment.The participants consisted of 183 teachers working in Elazığ and Yalova Provinces during 2022-2023 academic year. The original scale included 21 six-point Likert-type items in English. Firstly, the scale was translated into Turkish, and language validity studies were conducted after the translation. Subsequently, a pilot application of the scale was conducted with 30 teachers. The scale with language validity was administered online to 183 teachers, which would provide data regarding construct validity. Then confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed. CFA showed that the adapted scale had the same factor structure with the original. To determine the reliability of the scale, both Turkish and English versions of the scale were applied to 28 English teachers, demonstrating test-retest reliability. Additionally, internal consistency coefficients were calculated for both the entire scale and its sub-dimensions. The obtained Cronbach Alpha coefficients were determined as .94 for the entire scale, .87 for the conceptual sub-dimension, .88 for the practical sub-dimension, and .88 for the socio-emotional sub-dimension. These results indicate that the Turkish form of the Teacher Formative Assessment Literacy Scale, consisting of 21 items and three sub-dimensions, is a valid and reliable data collection tool.
