The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable Likert-type attitude scale for toward story writing for third- and fourth-grade primary school students. 354 children from three different schools in the Ereğli district of Zonguldak province, Turkey constituted the sample of this research. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were carried out to analyze the data. EFA identified 20 items and two factors for the scale. These factors were termed as “positive attitude” and “negative attitude.” CFA confirmed the two-factor structure of the scale. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were found to be .92 for the overall scale, .90 for the first factor, and .89 for the second factor. The test-retest reliability coefficients were .82 for the overall scale, .87 for the first factor, and .83 for the second factor. The results indicate a valid and reliable measure for students’ attitudes towards story writing.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ilkokul üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin hikâye yazmaya yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesi için geçerli ve güvenilir bir tutum ölçeği geliştirmektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Zonguldak ili Ereğli ilçesinde üç farklı ilkokulda üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıfta öğrenim gören toplam 354 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler üzerinde Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. AFA sonucunda ölçeğin 20 maddeden ve iki faktörden oluştuğu belirlenmiştir. Bu boyutlar “olumlu tutum” ve “olumsuz tutum” olarak adlandırılmıştır. DFA analizi sonucunda iki faktörlü yapı doğrulanmıştır. Ölçeğin tamamı için Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayısı .92 iken birinci alt faktöre ilişkin α .90, ikinci alt faktöre ilişkin α .89 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin tümüne ait test tekrar test güvenirliği .82 iken, birinci alt faktöre ilişkin test tekrar test güvenirliği .87, ikinci alt faktöre ilişkin test tekrar test güvenirliği ise .83 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular sonucunda, ölçekle hikâye yazmaya yönelik tutumun geçerli ve güvenilir bir şekilde ölçülebileceği ortaya konmuştur.
