Discussion

This study develops a questioning tendencies scale for preschool children, highlighting its construct validity and reliability.

The final Questioning Tendencies Scale showed a strong internal consistency coefficient of 0.894, demonstrating reliability.
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted using data from 544 and 237 preschool children, respectively, confirming its construct validity.
Out of 25 original questions, 10 were eliminated, resulting in a three-factor structure explaining 67.59% of total variance.
This new scale provides educators with valid tools to assess how preschool children ask questions and engage in learning.
