Development of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Co-ordinators’ Role Perceptions Scale (ICTCRPS)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scaling tool to identify role perceptions of
primary and secondary school ICT Co-ordinators. Total 179 ICT Co-ordinators who work in Trabzon province
participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the scale is composed of 3
factors. Item load values are 0,645-0,845 for Factor I; 0,736-0,821 for Factor II; and 0,837-0,848 for Factor III. In
order to test the reliability of the scale, Cronbach Alfa reliability and two-halves test correlation (Spearman Brown)
coefficients were checked and the said values were found as 0,83 and 0,67 respectively. As a conclusion; it was
determined as the outcome of the study on the basis of validity and reliability checks that the developed scale is a
practical and useful scaling tool.
