Özet:

The aim of this research is to adapt the Data Literacy Scale (DLS), which was developed to understand the skills of school principals and teachers in using and interpreting data, into Turkish. The study groups of the research consisted of school principals and teachers working in primary, secondary, and high schools in the central district of Kahramanmaraş province Onikisubat in the 2021-2022 academic year. The analysis of the research was carried out with 207 participants in study group-1 and 280 participants in study group-2, which was determined on the basis of maximum diversity and easily accessible sampling method, which is one of the purposive sampling methods. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used for the construct validity of the scale. Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients were examined to determine the reliability of the measurements. EFA and CFA results confirmed the Data Literacy Scale (DLS) with 14 items in four factors in Turkish culture and compatible with the theoretical framework of Mandinach and Gummer. As a result, the findings of the study revealed that this scale showed largely acceptable features to measure the data literacy level of educators.
