The aim of this study is to develop a scale of pre-service teachers’ reading tendencies. The study group of the research consisted of 143 pre-service Turkish language teachers studying at Sinop University. Factor analysis was performed to ensure the validity of the data obtained at the end of the application. As a result of the factor analysis, a structure consisting of two factors named “intrinsic motivation” and “extrinsic motivation,” which explains 38.55% of the total variance of the scale was determined. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients calculated to determine the reliability of the scale were found as 0.89 for intrinsic motivation, 0.82 for extrinsic motivation, and 0.91 for the overall scale.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Reading, reading tendency, Turkish education. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [farukpolatcan@gmail.com.

According to another definition, reading is “the process of seeing, perceiving, and comprehending a text, words, sentences, punctuation marks” (Kavcar et al. , 2003 , p. 41) . These definitions relate to the physical dimension of reading. Real reading is the only way for the individual to perceive, interpret, and make sense of the external world. Reading is extremely important for the development of individuals. It helps them realize themselves.  \nThe purpose of reading is not limited to vocalizing the letters next to each other. It is aimed to reach the depths of the meaning of the text and, most importantly, to reach the love of reading. Individuals who have acquired a love of reading can prioritize learning and reading in every period of their lives.  \nThe love of reading has social benefits besides individual benefits. One of the important preconditions for creating a quality and conscious society is to raise individuals with a love of reading. The source of many problems faced by societies is the lack of reading. Problems in cultural adaptation are the main social problems. The role of the school, family, and the  \nenvironment is very important here (Zengin, 2003) . In addition to these elements, the literary works read by individuals also have a very important role in cultural harmony. By determining the reading tendencies of individuals, reading literary works that can improve cultural harmony can be encouraged.  \nIt cannot be denied that reading is a critical aspect of academic life. The basic condition for being successful in every field is to do enough reading and research in the field. In other words, the basic skill of almost all fields is to be a good reader (Kurudayıoğlu and Çelik, 2013) .  \nEvery good reader can gain many benefits individually. In addition, he can make many people around him a love of reading. It can be said that especially individuals whose parents read books are more curious and willing to read (Neuman, 1986, Strommen and Mates 2004) .  \nMany social problems can be solved by reading. For this reason, every factor that affects reading should be evaluated in detail. When we look at the literature, it was determined that the studies on reading are related to reading attitude (Baştug and Keskin, 2013; Karahan, 2018; Yurda","cbCaigyBGrokTs4c","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigyBGrokTs4c","pdf",173586,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Methodology\n## Study group\n## Developing the scale","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this study?\",\"answer\":\"To develop a reading tendency scale for pre-service Turkish language teachers and test its validity and reliability.\"},{\"question\":\"How many factors and items does the scale include?\",\"answer\":\"The scale consists of 2 factors and 28 items.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the factor analysis reveal?\",\"answer\":\"It produced a two-factor structure—intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation—accounting for 38.55% of the total variance.\"}]","Reading Tendency Scale - Validity and Reliability Study | PDF",1792070784,13]
