International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, v8 n3 p1429-1438 2021
The concept of probability is an important concept to learn in school. That is why teachers and preservice teachers should learn how to teach this concept effectively. It is important and necessary to know the attitudes of teachers towards the subject of and the teaching of probability. For this reason, a scale related to the attitudes towards probability and probability teaching is adapted in this study. A quantitative research model was adopted as the research method, and data was collected from 265 prospective elementary mathematics teachers of different grade levels. After language translation of the scale items, necessary statistical analysis was conducted for the adaptation process. At the end of the study, a seven-factor scale with 27 items was obtained. There were four items in all dimensions, as in the original scale, but only three items in the behavioral component towards the teaching of probability dimension remained after the adaptation process.
