Özet:

This study aims to adapt the School Awareness Scale-OFÖ to the Turkish culture developed by Hoy, Gage and Tarter (2004). The study included 215 teachers working in 17 primary and secondary schools located in Ankara. The data set of the OFÖ has been examined in terms of various assumptions and validity and reliability studies have been carried out. The structure validity of the measurement has been tested with verifying factor analysis (DFA). DFA and OFÖ’s two-factor structure consisting of teacher awareness and manager awareness has been confirmed. The scale reliability and material analysis studies have studied substance-total correlations, two-half test reliability, Cronbach alpha, Guttman lambda, layer alpha, Armor teta, McDonald omega and lower 27% and lower 27% group average differences. The 14 materials in the OFO have been determined to have a good level of distinctivity. The internal consistency ratio for the whole measurement is .88 and the proportions for its dimensions are .83 and .78, respectively. The validity and reliability analyses conducted have shown that the school awareness structure of the OFÖ is a valid and reliable measurement tool with sufficient psychometric characteristics to be measured in the Turkish culture.
