    Examining the 4th Grade Students' Ability to Say No in the Framework of Life Studies Curriculum with Many-Facet Rasch Model
    (Ijate-Int Journal Assessment Tools Education, 2018) Yilmaz, Ferat; Sozer, M. Akif
    This study aims to reveal whether or not the ability to say no, which is tried to be taught to students in the 2005 life studies curriculum, has been gained by children with regards to various situations. The survey model was utilized in the study. The study was conducted with 4th grade students who took the class of life studies in primary school 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades and therefore are expected to have gained the ability to say no. In order to collect data, The Ability to Say No-Specific Cases Inventory (NSCI) developed by the researchers was employed. In order to be able to evaluate the responses given to the cases in the NSCI, the NSCI Rubricwas developed. The data obtained from NSCI were analyzed according to the many-facet Rasch analysis using the FACETS packet program. The findings suggest that students may be able to demonstrate the basic ability to say noexpected of them in response to specific cases; however they will not focus too much on the behavior of making an explanation about the reason why they have said no, or, on performing alternative behaviors after saying no.

    The Scale of Being Able to Say No For Children: Validity and Reliability Analysis
    (Assoc Measurement & Evaluation Education & Psychology, 2018) Yilmaz, Ferat; Sozer, M. Akif
    In this study, it is aimed to develop a scale for assessing children's ability to say no. The participants included in the study are the area experts that helped to achieve content validity, and fourth graders who are asked to score the items in the SN to have an idea about the construct validity, measurement reliability and item discrimination of the item in the scale. In this study, four different drafts of the SN which contained 24 items of 3-pointed Likert type, 22 items of 3-pointed Likert type, 12 items of 3-pointed Likert type and 12 items of 5-pointed Likert type were used. In order to evaluate the content validity of the SN, the experts' opinions were received. For the construct validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Reliability of measurements obtained with the SN was analyzed by using the methods of Cronbach's Alpha and Split-half. An opinion was formed about the distinctiveness of items in the scale setting out from the corrected item total correlations ( CITC) and the results of the independent samples t-tests. The results of the study showed that the SN can be used as a data collection tool, and is able to produce valid and reliable interpretations in studies that aim to explore children's ability to say no.
