Constructing Adaptive Behavior Scale for Senior Students of College of Sports Education / Mosul University
Abstract
The research objectives :
- Constructing adaptive behavior scale for Senior students / college of sports education / Mosul university .
- Setting standard levels for Senior students / college of sports education / Mosul university on the adaptive behavior scale .
The researchers adopt the descriptive methodology with a survey method .
The research community includes the Senior students / college of sports education / Mosul university (Semester 2011-2012) . The research sample includes (150) students ( female students were excluded ) . The research sample was divided into a construction sample represented by (120) students at an average (80%) , and an application sample represented by (27) students at an average (20%) . Ten students were selected to perform the reliability operation and ten to perform the open questionnaire (the pilot study ).
The adaptive behavior scale prepared by the researchers was used as an instrument of collecting data in addition to the following tools ( the questionnaire , interview and constructing measurement tool ) . The construction procedures include determining the scale dimensions ( social adaptation , emotional adaptation , academic adaptation , family adaptation and health adaptation ) , determining the method of forming the scale items , forming the items of each dimension at their initial form in addition to adopt the scientific steps and procedures in constructing the scale including the vase validity , content validity , construction validity represented by (the statistical analysis of the items ) with the method of contrasted groups , internal consistency and statistical analysis with the method of factor validity . Re-testing method is used in the reliability . The statistical means include : the arithmetic mean, standard deviation , of skews coefficient equation of ( Pearson ) , simple correlation coefficient of (Pearson) , t-Test , percentage , standard degree and factor analysis by using computer with SPSS system .
The researchers have concluded the following :
- Constructing adaptive behavior scale for Senior students / college of sports education / Mosul university .
- Obtaining standard levels for the research sample with the scale of adaptive behavior.
