TEACHER OPINIONS ON FREE TIME LESSON: SCALE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION

Abstract

The aim of this study is to establish opinions of primary school teachers towards the implementation of free time lesson at primary schools. Initially, a free time lesson survey was developed to obtain data from primary school teachers, in order to reach this aim. Data analysis revealed that primary school teachers agreed to the essentiality of free time lesson related applications in primary schools, and that these applications could develop students in a positive way. While teachers were indecisive towards questions stating some obstacles and negativities could develop in the free time lesson applications, they agreed that conditions essential to start free time lesson applications existed.
