Özet:

The aim of this research is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Social Emotional Learning Scale (SELS; Coryn, Spybrook, Evergreen & Blinkiewicz, 2009). The sample of this study consisted of 300 primary school students. Results of language equivalency showed that the correlations between Turkish and English items were ranging from .72 to .95. Results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the three-dimensional model was well fit (RMSEA=.049, NFI=.96, CFI=.98, IFI=.98, RFI=.95, GFI=.92, AGFI=.90). The internal consistency coefficients of the scale was .90. Also the three-week interval test-retest reliability coefficients of the scale was .71. Overall findings demonstrated that Turkish version of the Social Emotional Learning Scale had adequate validity and reliability scores.
