36182

The purpose of the current study is to carry out validity and reliability tests in order to adapt “Online Learner Readiness Self-assessment” instrument, developed by Watkins, Leigh and Triner (2004) into Turkish. The instruments, which included 27 items and six factors, were translated into Turkish by the researchers once the necessary permissions had been obtained. The original and adapted versions were updated to incorporate expert suggestions and subseqently distributed to 29 students of a private university at one-week intervals. After the two versions were linguistically evaluated, the Turkish instrument was filled out by 317 students from various departments at different universities. As a result of the construct validity tests, the instrument finally included 25 items and six factors.
