Eğitim Yöneticilerinin Teknoloji Liderliği Yeterlikleri Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a multiple item scale for measuring technology leadership competency of educational administrators. The population of the study was formed by 127 scho­ol principals in Maltepe and Kadikoy districts in Istanbul. To obtain content validity, expert panels composed of 6 academics and 1 local information and computer technologies (ICT) coordinator and they made review and rated the 56-items draft scale in terms of the relevance of each item with respect to study purpose (CVI=0.708). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed the measurement model accounted for 65.35% of total variance and factor loadings ranged between .522 and .838 (KMO=.899, p<.001). Based on the model fit and modification indices, three alternative models were constructed thus it was found that 32-items five-factor structure (Model-4) was the best-fitting model (x2=645.527; x2/df= 1.416; CFI=.913; NFI=.759; RMSEA=.057). In the predictive validity study, the areas under the ROC curve for the entire scale were found to be 0.745 and .712, suggesting cut-off point of 121.500 and 123.500 for total score. Overall internal consistency reliability of the scale was found to be .943 with subscales ranging from .939 -.941. The split-half reliability was found to be 0.735. The values of item-total correlation ranged from .449 to .675
