| Summary: | Stories have become one of the ways to provide information more effectively in so-called age of technology, the 21st century. Moreover, it is seen that advertising industry storifies what they desire to commercialize. Teaching students in a storified way enables persistence of learning. The effect of storytelling and writing, which already exists in many aspects of life, on secondary students’ anxiety has been a key concern. It has been planned to search this current topic which is not encountered in the literature and to develop a scale. It is thought that secondary school students need an instrument evaluating their story writing anxiety. In this sense, the aim of this study is to develop a scale that will evaluate secondary 7th graders’ story writing anxiety. 439 students (212 female and 227 male students) participated in the study. As a result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, a valid and reliable evaluation instrument for secondary school students’ story writing anxiety was developed. As a result of the research, 5 tier scale with 26 items was formed to evaluate story writing anxiety. Cronbach Alpha value was found to be .853 and total variance explained was 57.827. |
