Özet:

This study reports the studies of the adaptation of the Belief Measures to the Turkish Education Based on Question. The study’s data was collected from 372 science-knowledge teachers candidates who studied at three different state universities in the 2012-2013 academic year. The factor analysis shows that the first part of the scale consists of the only factor related to the "specificity of the query". Analysis also shows that the two-factor structure is the most suitable for the second part of the scale. The second part of the measurement relates to the obstacles to the implementation of the questioning. The first factor in this section concerns the obstacles arising from the lack of pedagogical knowledge, while the second factor concerns the obstacles arising from the application of the method. The internal consistency ratio for the first part is 0.87 and for the second part 0.83. In addition, the total correlations of the substance test were also studied in order to prove the internal consistency of the scale. For the first part of the measurement, the correlation ratio was 0.30 to 0.55 and for the second part 0.30 to 0.58. The results from the data show that the adapted scale can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining the beliefs of question-based teaching for teachers and teachers candidates. The study ends with a discussion on the possible uses of the scale.
