Thus, a large number of items are collected as meaningful, small numbers of items and independent factors. 98 teachers who teach Turkish as a foreign language participated in the research. As a data collection tool, a questionnaire consisting of 46 items in 5 likert type was created and applied. To determine statistically validity and reliability of the structure item analysis factor analysis and cronbach s alfa reliability coefficient calculations were performed. As a result of the analyses, a 9- dimensional scale of 30 items was obtained. Dimensions were associated and collected in 3 (cognitive, emotional, behavioral) groups. The cronbach s alfa coefficient for determining the reliability level of the scale used in the study was 0.723.
