Abstract:

It was aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale in order to determine teachers' opinions about distance education in this study. Survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The sample of research consists of 490 teachers working in different branches and recitation with distance education at the 2019-2020 academic years. İn this study it was used opinion determination scale consist of 46 items as a data collection tool. In order to validity of the scale, content, construct and face validity was examined. Besides, the cronbach alpha coefficient was calculated for the reliability study. Expert opinion was taken for the content and face validity, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was applied for construct validity. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, nine items were removed and the scale consists of six-factor was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was calculated values of RMSEA 0,054, GFI 0,81, CFI 0,91 and IFI 0,92. Besides Cronbach alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale was found 0.847. As a result, a valid and reliable scale consisting of 37 items was developed to determine teachers' opinions about distance education.
