Career-Related Teacher Support in Turkey: Scale Adaptation and Validation

The aim of this study was to adapt the Career-related Teacher Support Scale to Turkish and to carry out validity and reliability studies. Data were collected from a total of 752 high school students studying in Turkey. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale had an excellent fit. Students’ perceptions of career-related teacher support were also examined in terms of demographic variables. The findings showed that female students perceived teacher support more. Also, students with a high socioeconomic level had a higher perception of support.
