Development of elementary school teachers’ attitudes to the only children scale

Öz

The present study aims to develop a scale assessing elementary teachers’ attitudes towards the only children because there is no scale which addresses to measure teacher attitudes related to birth order. Totally 429 elementary school teachers participated the study. Preliminary analysis indicated that the data is convenient to Exploratory Factor Analysis. Rotated Factor Analysis with Varimax Rotation was conducted and three factors were extracted. These factors were named as Positive Characteristics, Negative Characteristics, Personal Characteristics of Only Children. Cronbach Alpha Coefficient of these scales .79 and .70 and overall internal reliability of the scale is .70. After the factor analysis and reliability analysis it was found that the Scale of Elementary School Teachers’ Attitudes towards the Only Children is reliable and useful to assess the teachers’ attitudes.
