Turkish Adaptation of Groupwork Skills Questionnaire

The aim of this study is to adapt Groupwork Skills Questionnaire developed by Cumming et al. (2014) into Turkish culture. The first study group was consisted of 70 prospective teachers studying at English Language Teaching Department to implement linguistic equivalence of the scale. The second study group was consisted of 509 students studying at different departments in a public university for construct validity. The original version of the scale has two factors and 10 items. The scale, which had linguistic equivalence, was analyzed with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis for construct validity. According to exploratory factor analysis, 10 items two-factor construct was formed like the original one, and it was confirmed with confirmatory factor analysis. For the reliability of the scale, internal consistency coefficients were calculated as Cronbach Alpha .80 and Spearman-Brown .74. The reliability coefficients have also showed that the scale has been reliable.
