Turkish Adaptation of Constructivist Learning Environment Survey

Abstract

The purpose of present research is to adapt Constructivist Learning Environment Survey-CLES
developed by Taylor, Fraser and Fisher (1997) into Turkish and test the validity and reliability of the scale. 619
students from primary education 6th, 7th and 8th grades have participated in the study. Subsequent to verifying
the linguistic equivalence of scale, the validity and reliability analyses have been conducted via SPSS 15 and
LISREL 8.5 programs. Cronbach-alpha reliability coefficient of scale has been detected as .847 and
confirmatory factor analysis has been found to be compatible with the original form. Additionally, the scale’s
corrected item-total correlations have been found to be varying between .334 and .547. The obtained findings
suggest that adapted scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
