Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for obtaining information about the ecological literacy of adults. For this purpose, a 72-item and three-part measurement tool was created in accordance with information in the literature and presented to experts for their opinions. After finalizing the scale in accordance with the feedback received, the 25-item 5-point Likert-type Ecological Literacy Awareness Scale, the 17-item true/false-type Ecological Literacy Knowledge Test (1), and the 17-item multiple-choice Ecological Literacy Knowledge Test (2) were created. The 59-item draft measurement tool was administered to two study groups. These study groups were selected by convenience sampling method, a non-probability sampling method. The data of the first group were used for exploratory factor analysis and the data of the second group were used for confirmatory factor analysis. It was determined that the finalized 37-item and three-part Ecological Literacy Measurement Tool for Adults (ELMT) was valid and reliable in determining the awareness and knowledge of teacher candidates about ecological literacy.
