Abstract

The study aims to adapt the Instructional Podcast Material Motivation Scale developed by Asoodar et al. (2014) into Turkish. The study group consists of Cag University Preparatory Year students. The original scale is in English and is a five- point Likert-type tool consisting of a total of 36 items in four dimensions. For the adaptation study, language validity was ensured. The findings obtained from the CFA regarding the construct validity of the scale support the four-factor structure in the original study. As a result of the analysis, the scale consists of 31 items and 4 sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions of the scale are Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients for the whole scale (.95) and the sub-dimensions of Attention (.78), Interest (.91), Confidence (.75), and Satisfaction (.93) are high. The results of the analysis show that the scale is valid and reliable in determining students' motivation levels for podcast material.
