Teachers and the Epistemology of History, Elmersjö Henrik Åström, Zanazanian Paul, Editör, Palgrave Macmilian, Amsterdam, ss.265-280, 2024
In this chapter Dinc and Uztemur aim to adapt the Beliefs About History Questionnaire (BHQ) developed by Maggioni into Turkish culture and test its validity and reliability. The study group consists of 264 student social studies teachers selected by simple random sampling method. To determine the construct validity of the 22-item scale, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed respectively. Although the results revealed that the three-dimensional structure was supported in Turkish culture, it was seen that the five items in the original scale were not included in the Turkish version. Although the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients for the sub-dimensions are not high, they are at an acceptable level. Considering that there is not any study assessing epistemic beliefs in the field of history in the Turkish context, it is recommended that further research be conducted by expanding the results of this adaptation study.
