Teachers' perceptions towards ICTs in teaching-learning process: Scale validity and reliability study

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale for measuring teachers' perceptions towards ICTs in teaching-learning process in the classroom. The sample of the study consisted of volunteering Turkish teachers (n = 200). This study developed a new scale for measuring teachers' perceptions towards ICTs in teaching-learning process. In order to test the validity of the scale, the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were carried out in the research. A result of the EFA, the scale consisted of three factors: attitude, usage, and belief with 25 items. It was also seen that there were positive correlations amongst the three factors of the scale. Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient value was found as 0.92 and Spearman-Brown split-half correlation value was found as 0.85 in the study. It was seen that reliability coefficient values of the factors of in the scale ranged between 0.88 and 0.72 in the research. Lastly, as a result of the CFA, it was understood that the obtained values (Δχ2 (n = 200)/df = 4.85/3; GFI = 0.96; AGFI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.026; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.98) confirmed the three-factor structure of the scale.
