Abstract:

 This study aims to adapt the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Teachers MAIT into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. The inventory serves the purpose of measuring teachers metacognitive awareness of their instructional processes. It consists of 24 items and six factors. In the adaptation process, comprehensive validation measures were employed, containing assessments of linguistic equivalence, conceptual and experiential equivalence, and construct validity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis CFA was utilized for assessing construct validity. The CFA results showed that the Turkish version of the MAIT demonstrated excellent fit on the SRMR index and acceptable fit values on other indices. Internal validity was examined through the correlation between the inventory and each sub-factor. Within the realibility studies, the analyses ascertained a McDonalds ω value of .94. As a result, it was revealed that the MAIT Turkish form stands as a valid and reliable measurement instrument for assessing teachers metacognitive awareness in instruction.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for Teacher MAIT adlı envanteri Türkçeye uyarlamak ve psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. Envanter, öğretmenlerin kendi öğretimsel süreçlerine ilişkin bilişsel farkındalıklarını ölçme amacına hizmet etmektedir. 24 madde ve altı faktörden oluşan bu envanterin Türkçeye uyarlanma sürecinde; dil geçerliği, kavramsal ve deneyimsel eşdeğerlik, yapı geçerliği, iç geçerlik ile güvenirlik çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapı geçerliğini test etmek için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi DFA uygulanmıştır. DFA sonucunda MAIT Türkçe formunun SRMR uyum indeksinde mükemmel uyum, diğer indekslerde ise kabul edilebilir uyum değerine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Formun iç geçerliğini sınamak için envanterin tamamı ile her bir alt-faktör arasındaki korelasyon incelenmiştir. Güvenirlik çalışmaları kapsamında yapılan analizler sonucunda ise McDonalds ω güvenirlik katsayısı .94 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, MAIT Türkçe Formunun öğretmenlerin kendi öğretimsel süreçlerine ilişkin bilişsel farkındalıklarını ölçme amacıyla kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
