Abstract
Gelişim ve öğrenme sürecinin bir göstergesi olan katılım; bebeklikten yetişkinliğe kadar gözlemlenebilen özel bir zihinsel süreçtir. Çocukların katılım süreçlerinin geliştirilmesi ve öğrenme süreçlerinde gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılabilmesi için uygun ve objektif araçlar ile değerlendirmelerin yapılması gerekmektedir. Buradan hareketle bu araştırmada Leuven Küçük Çocuklar İçin Katılım Ölçeği’nin Türkçe’ye uyarlanması ve geçerlik-güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada genel tarama modeli kullanılmış olup, araştırmanın evrenini, 2015-2016 eğitim öğretim yılında Afyonkarahisar İl merkezindeki Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı bağımsız anaokullarına devam eden ve normal gelişim gösteren beş yaş çocukları oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise Afyonkarahisar İl merkezindeki Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı 3 ayrı bağımsız anaokuluna devam eden toplam 90 çocuk oluşturmuştur. Leuven Küçük Çocuklar İçin Katılım Ölçeği’nin uygulanması sonucunda elde edilen verilerin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda ölçekteki tüm maddelerin gerekli olduğu ve kapsam geçerliliğini sağladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Değerlendirmeciler arasındaki uyum Cohen Kappa katsayısı ile hesaplanmış olup, gözlemciler arasındaki uyumluluk katsayılarının κ>0.7 çok iyi düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde, anasınıfı çocuklarının katılım düzeylerini değerlendirmede Leuven Küçük Çocuklar İçin Katılım Ölçeği’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu kabul edilmektedir.

Abstract
Involvement is a special mental process that can be observed from childhood to adulthood as an indicator of different developmental and learning processes. In order to improve children’s involvement processes and to regulate learning processes, it is necessary to conduct assessments using appropriate, objective instruments. With this in mind, this study examined the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Leuven Involvement Scale for Young Children. The study used the general screening model. The study population consisted of five-year old children with normal development who attend independent public preschools in the city of Afyonkarahisar during the 2015-2016 education year. The study sample included 90 children attending three different independent public preschools in Afyonkarahisar. The data obtained from the Leuven Involvement Scale for Young Children was used for validity and reliability studies. The results showed that all the items in the scale were necessary and had good content validity. The concordance among the raters was measured with the Cohen Kappa coefficient, and the concordance coefficients among the observers were found to be quite high (? > 0.7). These results demonstrate that the Leuven Involvement Scale for Young Children is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring preschoolers’ involvement levels.
