الاستقلال الذاتي لدى طلبة المرحلة الإعدادية

Abstract EN

The paper aimed at identifying the level of autonomy among high school students.

To achieve the aims of the paper, a autonomy scale was constructed according to (Deci & Ryan) theory after following the scientific procedures in constructing it and in verifying its validity and reliability.

Furthermore, the scale was implemented on a sample of (400) male and female students who were selected in terms of the stratified random sampling method.

Then, the study data were statistically processed via the use of one sample T-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, the Z-test, Alpha-Cronbach coefficient and factor analysis.

The results of the paper showed that the study sample members have a high level of autonomy compared to the theoretical means of the scale.

So as to achieve the aims of the paper, a autonomy scale was constructed according to (Deci & Ryan) theory which comprised (28) items.

Then, face validity, construct validity, and factor analysis of the tool were verified.

After that, stability of the scale was verified via retesting.

The stability coefficient was (0.87), while the tool's stability coefficient was (0.85) according to the Alpha Cronbach method via the use of the following statistical means (one sample T-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, z-test, Alpha-Cronbach coefficient, and factor analysis).

The results of the paper reflected that high school students enjoy a high level of autonomy.
