Özet:

This scale development work is designed to identify the level in which teachers using the media tools in their teaching environments can perform effective media applications in their classes. During the preparation of scale materials, the study took advantage of a bookstore entitled "12 Basic Ways to Integrate Media Reading and Critical Thinking with Any Programme". This library is for teachers who want to use media literature in the classroom. After the scan of the literature made, a 5 likert type draft scale, consisting of 52 articles, was prepared and the opinions of 3 Social Information Teachers, 5 Class Teachers and 2 Turkish Teachers, who are specialists in the field were applied. 108 teachers have been applied for the final editing of the "Active Media Education Scale" prepared for the pre-application. In the pre-application, 8 items that teachers say "not suitable" were extracted from scale, 44 items scale was applied to 242 class teachers working in 15 primary/mediary schools and a total of 478 teachers consisting of 236 different branches. In the analyses carried out after the application, the scale substances were reduced to 31 substances. Factor analysis determines the validity of the scale. According to the analysis of the factor, the scale is 0.968 of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and the Barlett test is 0.00. The measure has four factors that explain 60% of the total variance. The confidence ratio (Cronbach alpha) is achieved as α=0.961. These obvious values show that the scale is a valid and reliable scale.
