Description
Summary:Individual differences are very important to consider before choosing instructional methods and techniques properly. One of these differences is style of processing with visual versus verbal. Knowing individuals' style of processing can give us an opportunity to design more individualized teaching and learning processes, and also learning systems. But first we need an instrument to identify dominant style of processing. The aim of this study is to adapt Style of Processing (SOP) Scale developed by Childers, Houston and Heckler (1985) in to Turkish audiences. In order to accomplish this aim, we first translated original English items into Turkish by taking views of 9 experts. Additionally we took students views on translated Turkish items to confirm their meaning and clarity. After that we applied both English and Turkish forms of the scale on a group of people knowing English and Turkish very well that they could be assumed as bilinguals. Pearson correlation coefficient of two application calculated as 0.94, that shows a significant, positive and strong correlation. After completing the equivalency study we applied the scales on 240 teachers students. We used confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient, corrected item-total correlations, and t test to compare top %27 and down %27 groups' meanings differences. All of these analyses gave satisfactory results. According to these results it can be said that Turkish form of SOP Scale is a valid and a reliable instrument.
