Abstract (English): This study aimed to adapt the Scale of Attitude towards Postgraduate Education (SATPGE) developed by Ng, Tuckett, Fox-Young and Kain (2014a) into Turkish culture by ensuring the structural validity and reliability of the scale in order to measure postgraduate students' attitudes to postgraduate education. The study group consisted of 560 students who were registered to postgraduate education (i.e. PhD or Master's) at University of Kahramanmaraş Sutçu Imam in Turkey. The programs SPSS 21.0 package and LISREL 8.7 were used to check the validity and reliability. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to examine the validity of the model of the Turkish form of the SATPGE. The EFA results showed that a three-subscale 13-item instrument accounted for 55.12% of total variance explained. The subscales of the SATPGE were "Facilitator roles", "Professional recognition" and "Obstacle factors". The CFA results showed that three subscales for 13 items had a goodness of model fit (The fit indices of the model were: X² = 194, 67, df=62, X² /df= 3.13, RMSEA=0.069, S-RMR=0.051, GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.92, CFI=0.94, IFI=0.96, NNFI=0.92, NFI=0.91). Cronbach's alpha indicated that the internal consistency reliability of the scale was .84, and the test-retest reliability was found to be .82. In Turkey, a psychometric instrument is needed to measure the postgraduate students' attitudes towards postgraduate education. Hence, in this study it is expected that the adapted scale will ensure the first step in psychometric response to this need by providing new models and suggestions to the relevant literature.

Abstract (Turkish): Bu çalışmada Ng, Tuckett, Fox-Young ve Kain (2014a) tarafından geliştirilen Lisansüstü Eğitime Yönelik Ölçeği' nin Türk kültürüne uyarlanarak yükseköğretimde lisansüstü eğitimin herhangi bir kademesinde öğrenim gören ve/veya mezun olan bireylerin lisansüstü eğitime yönelik tutumlarını ve bu tutumları etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmek için uygun hale getirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi 'inde herhangi bir programda lisansüstü eğitim gören (ör. yüksek lisans veya doktora) 560 öğrenciden elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde SPSS 21 ve Lisrell 8.7 paket programları kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin Türkçe formunun yapı geçerliliği için açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. AFA sonucunda %55.12 varyansı açıklayan 13 maddelik ve üç faktörden oluşan bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Ölçekteki faktörler 'Kolaylaştırıcı roller', 'Profesyonel tanınırlık' ve 'Engelleyici faktörler' boyutlarından oluşmaktadır. DFA sonuçları ise üç faktörlü bu yapının genel olarak iyi uyum gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur [(X² = 194,67, sd=62, X² /sd= 3.13, RMSEA=0.069, S-RMR=0.051, GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.92, CFI=0.94, IFI=0.96, NNFI=0.92, NFI=0.91]. Tüm ölçeğin iç tutarlık katsayısı .84 ve test-tekrar-test güvenirlik katsayısı ise .82 olarak bulunmuştur. Türkiye'de, yükseköğretimde herhangi bir programda lisansüstü öğrenim gören öğrencilerin lisansüstü eğitime yönelik tutumlarını değerlendirmek için psikometrik olarak test edilmiş bir ölçme aracına ihtiyaç vardır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada uyarlanan ölçeğin ilgili alanyazına yeni modeller ve öneriler sunarak bu ihtiyaca cevap vermenin ilk adımını oluşturması beklenmektedir. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
