Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to adapt the Awareness of Independent Learning Inventory to Turkish. The inventory measures university students’ metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive skills, and metacognitive attitude levels. The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale were investigated through three different studies. The first study was conducted with participation of 25, the second with 291, and the third with 303 pre-service teachers. In the adaptation process, language experts were brought in to judge the linguistic validity of the inventory. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the data and according to the fit indices, the proposed three-factor structure was found to be consistent with the data set. Cronbach Alpha coefficients for the dimensions of the scale were found as 0.81 for the metacognitive knowledge dimension (13 items), 0.85 for the metacognitive skills dimension (13 items), and 0.79 for the metacognitive attitudes dimension (10 items). According to the findings of the study, it can be claimed that the Turkish version of the AILI, BÖFE (Bağımsız Öğrenme Farkındalığı Envanteri) is a valid and reliable measure to assess university students’ metacognition.

Key words: Metacognition, Validity, Reliability, Inventory Adaptation, University Students
