Polatcan, Faruk
African Educational Research Journal, v8 spec iss 3 p11-15 Oct 2020
The tendency to read is due to what individuals pay attention to while reading and choosing literary works. The aim of this study is to develop a scale of pre-service teachers' reading tendencies. The study group of the research consisted of 143 pre-service Turkish language teachers studying at Sinop University. Factor analysis was performed to ensure the validity of the data obtained at the end of the application. As a result of the factor analysis, a structure consisting of two factors named "intrinsic motivation" and "extrinsic motivation," which explains 38.55% of the total variance of the scale was determined. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients calculated to determine the reliability of the scale were found as 0.89 for intrinsic motivation, 0.82 for extrinsic motivation, and 0.91 for the overall scale.
