Özet
This study aimed to adapt the Mindfulness in Teaching Scale (MTS) developed by Frank, Jennings and Greenberg (2016) into Turkish. To this end, the scale items were first translated into Turkish and then translated back into English. Data were collected with the scale from two different teacher groups of whom ages varied between 23 and 57 years old. The confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) that were performed with the data obtained from the groups found the goodness-of-fit indices of the scale to be sufficient, and the two-factor structure of the scale was confirmed. To examine the criterion-related validity of the scale, its relationship with Maslach Burnout Inventory - Educators Survey (Ince and Sahin, 2015) was examined, and a significant relationship was found as expected (r= .45 -.42, p<.01). The internal consistency coefficients were acceptable for the subscales (.70 for intrapersonal mindfulness, .61 for interpersonal mindfulness). In addition, test-retest reliability coefficients were found to be high for both subscales (.80 for intrapersonal mindfulness and .73 for interpersonal mindfulness). Consequently, it is possible to argue that the Turkish form of MTS has sufficient psychometric properties.
