Abstract:

 


The purpose of the study was to analyze the reliability
and validity of the Lifelong Learning Scale (WielkLLS) which was developed by Wielkiewicz
and Meuwissen (2014) and adapt the scale into Turkish culture. First of all the
English form was translated intoTurkish by 5 English experts and translated into
English. Then, they translated into English again for language validation.
Another study was done for language validation. A piloting section was happened
with ELT students at Sakarya University. First, the English version of the scale
was applied to the students and then they did the same for the Turkish version
of the scale. The correlation between  two
applications was found .81. The study was done with 399 candidate teacher students
who are studying at Sakarya University Education Faculty. The reliability of
the scale was found Cronbach’s alpha .78. Confirmatory factory analysis of the
16-item  loaded one factor and unidimensional
scale was done (X²= 277.09, DF= 64, RMSEA= .091, NFI= .92, NNFI= .93,
CFI= .94, IFI= .94, SRMR= .061).  All
findings shows that the scale is valid and realiable enough to measure the
lifelong learning tendencies of students in Turkish culture.
