Abstract
This study aimed at developing the parent, teacher and
student versions of The Study Skills Scale in order to assess the study
skills of elementary school students. The construct validity of the
three scales was tested by Principal Components Analysis. Item total
correlations were also conducted, together with independent samples
t-test in order to determine the meaningful difference between the top
and the bottom %27 groups. The reliabilities of the scales and their
subscales were analyzed using Cronbach Alpha, split half and test –
retest reliability estimates. The results taken together showed that all
three scales had good psychometric properties and thus could be used
to assess the study skills of elementary school students. A further
analysis using the Pearson correlations showed consistencies among
the three scales.
