The Flipped Learning Perception Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study
Education and Information Technologies, v28 n11 p14139-14166 2023
This study aims to develop a scale to determine preservice science teachers' perceptions of flipped learning. The present study uses the survey design, a quantitative research method. For content validity, the authors created an item pool of 144 items based on the literature. After being checked by experts, the item pool dropped to 49 items for the five-point Likert-type draft scale. The current study has preferred cluster sampling due to generalization concerns. The accessible population of the study is the preservice science teachers in Türkiye's provinces of Kayseri, Nevsehir, Nigde, Kirsehir, and Konya. We administered the draft scale to 490 preservice science teachers, which is the recommended 10 times the number of items. We also performed explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses to check the scale's construct validity. We ultimately obtained a four-factor structure with 43 items that explain 49.2% of the variance in scores and found the correlation between the criterion and draft scales to be greater than 0.70, thus ensuring criterion validity. We calculated Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability coefficients to check the reliability of the scale and determined the reliability coefficients for both the overall scale and the sub-factors to be greater than 0.70. As a result, we have obtained a scale consisting of 43 items and four dimensions that explains 49.2% of the variance. This data collection tool can be used by researchers and lecturers to determine preservice teachers' perceptions toward flipped learning.
