Turkish Adaptation of Readiness to Teach Online Survey

This study aims to adapt Chi’s (2015) Readiness to Teach Online Survey into Turkish context. Participants of the study are 138 faculty members at Mu？la S？tk？ Ko？man University, Turkey, during the 2015-2016 academic year. The Readiness to Teach Online Survey consists of 63 Likert-type items, 13 open-ended questions, and two questions with structured items under five dimensions: Teaching and Learning, Social and Student Engagement, Faculty and Technology Support, Course Development and Instructional Design, Evaluation and Assessment. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient for quantitative items in the survey has been found to be .91. Analyses of answers to open-ended questions by subject matter experts have indicated that participants’ answers are directly associated with the information anticipated from these questions. Based on the obtained findings, it is possible to say that the Turkish adaptation of the Readiness to Teach Online Survey is a valid and reliable measurement tool for higher education institutions in Turkey
