Abstract:
Homework can be described as the activities assigned be done out of school hours to reinforce learning. Self-efficacy beliefs of teachers about homework are directly related to the quality of homework. Teachers are also expected be knowledgeable about homework process in order to maximize the benefit. The purpose of this research is to adapt The Teachers’ Self Efficacy for Homework Management scale developed by Alkhasuri et al. into Turkish. In order for the validity studies of the adapted scale, the confirmatory factor analysis has been done, of which results indicate that the adapted scale has acceptable fit and consists of three factors as in the original version. Moreover, factors of the adapted scale are highly correlated. As for the reliability, Cronbach’s alpha technique has been adopted. The results revealed that while the overall scale has excellent reliability, the factors have good reliability scores. At the end of the research, it has been concluded that scale can be used in studies to be done with Turkish samples. Lastly, some suggestions have also been made for further studies.
