Erken Okuryazarlık Ev Ortamı Ölçeği (EROY-EV)’nin Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Banu Karaahmetoğlu, Figen Turan

Short summary

A new 11-item scale, the EROY-EV, was developed and validated to measure early literacy opportunities provided by families, showing good reliability (Cronbach's α = .72 for the general scale) and explaining 74.47% of the total variance across four factors.

Key points

  • Developed and validated the 11-item Early Literacy Home Environment Scale (EROY-EV).
  • The scale comprises four factors explaining 74.47% of the total variance.
  • General scale reliability is .72 (Cronbach's α), with factor reliabilities between .73 and .88.
  • Cut-off scores suggest 8-15 points are insufficient, 16-23 average, and 24-32 sufficient for the home literacy environment.

Abstract

Considering the benefits of the home literacy environment for children, this study aims to develop a tool to measure early literacy opportunities provided by families to their children. As a result of the Exploratory Factor Analysis, the eigenvalue of the scale is composed of four factors and 11 items, and it represents 21.73 % of the total variance in the first factor, 20.75% of the second factor, 16.65% of the third factor and 15.33 of the fourth factor. The total variance in the four factors reveals approximately 74.47% of it—Cronbach (α) reliability values of factors range between .73 and .88. The reliability value for the general scale is identified as .72. The results show that this scale is a reliable measurement tool to identify the views of families in the home literacy environment. After carrying out validity and reliability studies, we calculated cut-off scores for the scale. The lowest score might be eight, while the highest score might be 32 received from this scale. Accordingly, we found out that 8-15 points are insufficient, while 16-23 is average and 24-32 insufficient for the home literacy environment.
