Özet:

The aim of this study is to develop a measurement tool to determine the student’s self-qualifications of the science teachers’ candidates to understand the student. The study was conducted through two groups of samples. The first group sample of 11 universities from different regions of Turkey educational faculty science teaching program 4th class 502 (360 women, 142 men), and the second group sample of 8 universities 454 (289 women, 165 men) teachers candidates. Factor analysis and verification are conducted in order to determine the structure validity of the measurement. For the reliability of the measurement, the Cronbach alpha internal consistency ratio, the Sperman Brown two-half test correlation ratio and the test-up test correlation ratio are calculated. The Opening Factor Analysis (AFA) found that the scale showed a 5-factor structure of 35 matters and that these factors revealed 58% of the total variance. The conformity values obtained by the verifying factor analysis (DFA) for the assessment of the model conformity of these five-factor structures are: χ2/sd=2.44, RMSEA= 0.06, NFI= 0.97, CFI= 0.98, IFI= 0.98, SRMR= 0.04, GFI= 0.85 and AGFI= 0.83. As a result of FÖAY’s reliability calculations, the Cronbach alpha internal consistency ratio was found as .95 for the entire scale, the Sperman Brown two half test correlation ratio as .88 and the test-to-re test correlation ratio as .86. These findings show that in measuring the self-qualifications of teachers candidates to understand the student, the FÖAYO is a valid and reliable measurement tool with a five-degree rating consisting of 35 matters and 5 factors.
