Abstract:
The aim of the study is to conduct the validity-reliability study of mobile learning readiness
scale (MLRS) developed by Cheon, Lee, Crooks, and Song (2012) in the framework of the
theory of planned behavior by adapting it to Turkish. The participants determined using
convenience sampling method consist of 344 pre-service science teachers studying at two
different faculties of education (Nevşehir Hacı Bektas Veli University and Kırşehir Ahi Evran
University) in the spring semester of 2018-2019 in Turkey. The construct validity of the scale
adapted to Turkish was carried out via the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method. The
reliability of the scale was tested by computing Cronbach’s alpha (α) as internal consistency
levels. It was found that the level of internal consistency value was 0.93 and sub-factors of
MLRS were at a good level. In conclusion, the Turkish version of the MLRS in the framework
of the theory of planned behavior consists of four main factors including attitude, subjective
norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention and three external beliefs including
Attitudinal Beliefs (Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness), Normative beliefs
(Instructor Readiness, Student Readiness), and Control beliefs (Perceived Self-efficacy,
Learning Autonomy) as in the original model.
