This study aimed to obtain a measurement tool in Turkish culture to determine the motivation of university students (pre-service teachers) toward STEM based on the expectancy-value theory. For this purpose, the validity and reliability studies of the Turkish version of the STEM Value-Expectancy Assessment Scale developed by Appianing and Van Eck (2018) were conducted. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was undertaken to check the validity of the scale administered to 196 pre-service science teachers selected by purposeful sampling and Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients were examined for the reliability evaluation. One item that showed a tendency to be loaded on two factors in CFA was removed and the repeated CFA confirmed a good fit for the two-factor structure as in the original scale. In the reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficients were calculated as .87 for the whole scale, .82 for the perceived value component, and .82 for the expectations of success in STEM careers component. When the validity and reliability results were evaluated together, it was concluded that the adaptation of the scale to Turkish culture was a measurement tool that has high validity and reliability that could be administered to prospective teachers.

STEM价值预期评估量表对土耳其文化的适应

本研究旨在获得一种土耳其文化中的测量工具,以期根据期望值理论确定大学生(职前教师)对STEM的动机。为此,由Appianing和Van Eck(2018)编写的土耳其语版本的STEM价值预期评估量表的有效性和可靠性研究进行了。进行了验证性因素分析(CFA),以检查针对有目的抽样选择的196名职前科学教师所用量表的有效性,并检查了Cronbach's alpha内部一致性系数以进行可靠性评估。去除了一个倾向于在CFA中加载两个因素的项目,重复的CFA证实了与原始比例中的两个因素结构非常吻合。在可靠性分析中,内部一致性系数的整体范围计算为.87,感知价值组成部分为.82,STEM职业组成部分的成功期望值为.82。当对效度和信度结果进行共同评估时,得出的结论是,针对土耳其文化的量表调整是一种可以向未来的教师进行管理的具有高效度和信度的测量工具。
