Özet:

In this study, Campell, Abd-Hamid and Chapman (2010) developed "The Principles of Scientific Research Scale" (BAIÖ) was conducted an adaptation study to the Turkish. Furthermore, using this scale, the perceptions of research-based education of scientist graduates have been studied according to class levels. The study first examined whether the original single-factor structure of the BAI was a valid model with the analytical factor analysis (AFA) and the verifying factor analysis (DFA). According to the AFA, the scale adapted to Turkey consists of a single factor and 20 items. The variance ratio revealed by the single factor is 58.66%. According to the conformity indices calculated by the DFA of the scale, the single-factor model is compatible with the data. To determine the differentiability of substances, the t-test results between the average score of the top 27% and lower 27% groups showed that the differences were meaningful for all substances. The Cronbach alpha internal reliability ratio calculated to determine the internal reliability of the substances in the scale is .96. The perceptions of the research-based education of the teachers candidates differ according to their class levels.  Research results show that the BAIÖ, adapted to Turkey, can be used as a valid and reliable tool to determine the perceptions of teaching candidates towards research-based education in the science classes.
