This study is aimed at adapting an instrument for “Assessing College Students’ Perceptions of Faculty Knowledge in Technology-Supported Class Environments” developed by Shih and Chuang (2013) into Turkish by conducting validity and reliability procedures. This study is crucial due to the fact that it focuses on how students perceive teacher’s knowledge in technology-supported classrooms. The adaptation procedure has such stages as (i) translation, (ii) back translation, (iii) experts’ opinion, (iv) pilot assessment to 25 students and final modification, and (v) implementation of the instrument to 430 undergraduate students for validity and reliability studies. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was done. The results showed medium and high goodness-of-fit indices (χ2/df=3.94, RMSEA=0.083, NFI=0.91, NNFI=0.93, CFI=0.94, RMR= 0.074). In terms of the reliability, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient is found to be 0.945; Spearman Brown reliability coefficient is 0.742; and Guttmann split-half reliability coefficient is 0.725. These results showed evidence for a high internal reliability for the instrument. Like the original version of the instrument, Turkish adaptation has also 4 constructs including a total of 50 items.
