Development of A Learning Responsibility Scale

Abstract

–The purpose of this research is to develop a scale that will enable to determine the conditions of fulfillment of students’ behaviors within the scope of learning responsibility which can be directly related to each course and learning area in school learning. Participants of the study are 520 university students studying at undergraduate level in different faculties. Scale development process was developed in nine stages in the direction of literature review, subject field experts and linguists, and finalized after pilot implementation, to the research population. The analysis of the research data was carried out by means of descriptive factor analysis. As the result of the data analysis process, a structure with explanatory power of about 54% of the total variance was obtained which explains the behaviors related to learning responsibility with four factors and 28 items (?2: 6856,93, df: 351; p <.000). The reliability analysis shows that, the scale has a very high level (? =.927) of reliability. The scale developed is assessed as a validated and reliable tool that can be used to determine students' fulfillment of inschool and out-of-school behaviors within the scope of their learning responsibility
