Özet:

The aim of the study is to develop the scale of innovative thinking tendencies towards pre-school teachers. The research model is planned as a basic research. The participants in the study are 787 teachers who do not work in the official and private kindergartens in Turkey. The "Individual Innovation Scale" and "Change Resistance Scale" have been used to test the standard-related validity of the developed scale. In the analysis of the data, it is also calculated the number of Cronbach Alfa for the reliability in the sense of internal consistency, the analysis of the detachment factor (base axes), the verifying factor analysis, the number of spearmen line differences, the number of spearmen line differences, the number of spearmen line differences. The study has developed a single-dimensional scale consisting of 10 substances. The Cronbach α rate of the scale, which describes 38% of the variance, is .85. The verifying factor analysis results show that the model-data compatibility is achieved (CMIN/DF=2.41, CFI=.98, GFI=.96, NNFI=.97 and RMSEA=.06) The scores taken from the scores and the scores of the Individual Innovation Score have achieved the correlations of the positive middle level (.67), and the negative middle level (-.31) with the Change Resistance Score. The correlation was found at the level .92 (p<.05) between the scores obtained from the applications performed between 14 days. As a result, it has been found that the developed "Innovative Thinking Trend Scale to Pre-School Teachers" has psychometric properties suitable for use in educational research.
