Özet

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is a fundamental process that encompasses individuals' abilities to manage their emotions, establish empathy with others, develop positive social relationships, and make responsible decisions. The primary purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the social emotional learning skills of primary school students. The draft measurement instrument was designed to encompass the five core dimensions of social emotional learning accepted in the literature: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. To test the psychometric properties and construct validity of the developed scale, statistical analyses were conducted on the dataset. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was calculated to test the suitability of the data for factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to determine the factor structure of the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was subsequently conducted to verify the accuracy of the obtained structure and to test the model fit. Within the scope of reliability studies, internal consistency coefficients were examined for the whole scale and its sub-dimensions. The findings obtained from the analyses indicate that the developed scale has adequate psychometric properties. In conclusion, it was determined that the Social Emotional Learning Scale is a valid and reliable measurement instrument that can be utilized to assess the social emotional learning skills of primary school students.
