World Journal of Education, v8 n5 p130-138 2018
The purpose of this study is to adapt Digital Educational Games Usage Scale (DEGUS) that was developed by Bonanno & Kommers (2008) to Turkish with the companion of a group of university students studying in department of English Teaching. In order for scale items to be the same in terms of language, firstly the translations of the items were carried out both from English to Turkish and Turkish to English, afterwards examining the forms gathered from the students, significant and positive correlations were detected among the data. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the scale had four dimensions. In item total correlation calculation of the scale it was observed that all the items were above 0.40, item factor loads varied between 0.51 and 0.68, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.78 and test retest correlation was 0.88. Significant relations were in the calculations regarding the correlation analyses of the scale.
