@article{2016,title={ATTITUDE SCALE TOWARDS READING FROM SCREEN: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY},abstractNode={Objective of this research is to develop a scale for assessing attitudes of students towards reading from screen and to realize validity and reliability analysis of this scale. 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th class students from totally 297 secondary school who are having education in Sakarya province constitute the sample of the research. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis have been executed in order to determine the factorial structure of the scale. An assessment instrument which is consisted of 36 articles and two sub-dimension that explain 58,92% of the total variance has been developed in consequence of factor analysis. These sub-dimensions bear the names of “positive influences of reading from screen on the attitude towards reading” and “negative influences of reading from screen on the attitude towards reading”. All articles which are involved in the scale are characteristic for sub and super-groups of 27% (p<0,05). Internal consistency coefficient (0,967) of ASTRFS (Attitude Scale Towards Reading From Screen) has been determined as 0,961 for the first dimension and as 0,954 for the second dimension. According to these findings we can say that ASTRFS is a valid and reliable assessment instrument to be used in schools.},author={Havva YAMAN-& Abdullah DAĞTAŞ},year={2016},journal={International Journal of Language Academy}}
