Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the scale development and adaptation studies in the subject area of educational sciences published in TR-index in 2023 in terms of subject area, rotation method, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) fit indices, number of modifications, type of scale developed, number of items before and after exploratory factor analysis (EFA), number of dimensions, sample sizes and reliability methods. For this purpose, document analysis method, one of the qualitative research designs, was used. A total of 84 scale development and adaptation studies were accessed by examining the issues published in 2023 of 184 journals in the TR-index and listed in the subject area of "Education, educational research", and the final sample was determined as 61 studies by removing 23 scale studies that were not in the field of educational sciences. Of the identified studies, 48 were scale development and 13 were scale adaptation studies. As a result of the research, it was determined that most of the studies were prepared on the subject of competence/self-efficacy, Varimax rotation method was frequently used, CFA fit index values were appropriate, there were no modifications in most of the studies, most of the studies were prepared with a five-point Likert-type scale, the difference in the number of items before and after EFA was not very large, most of the scales consisted of three dimensions, the sample selection was generally 251-500 people and EFA and CFA samples were different, and Cronbach's Alpha method was frequently used as a reliability method. The results obtained were supported by the literature and various suggestions were made.
