摘要：This scale has been developed in order to evaluate teacher candidates' approaches regarding obtaining and configuring information. Scale consists of 38 items. KMO test was applied to the data in order to determine the suitability of the factor analysis. KMO test result was found as .850. 9 Dysfunctional items were excluded from the scale as a result of the factor analysis; and, 29 items, whose factor loadings ranged from .460 to 796, were included in the scale. Four-factors were formed in the scale as a result of the rotation process. These factors were found as; “Defining Information Needs” (8 items), “Access to Information” (11 items), “Use of Information” (5 items), and “Ethical and Legal Framework in Use of Information” (5 items). Cronbach internal consistency coefficient of the whole scale was found as .928. Explained variance of the scale value was determined as 68,938. Eigen values, calculated for determining the factors making up the scale, were found as 1.89 for the first factor, 1.27 for the second factor, 1.35 for the third factor, and 1.72 for the fourth factor. Item-total scale correlation coefficients of the scale ranged between .457 and .735.
