The aim of the study is to investigate the psychometric characteristics of the “Integrated Creativity Test-Preschooler-ICT-P” (Creative Thinking Ability Domain) for Turkish children. The study included 104 Turkish children aged 4-5 from Sinop city center. The ICT-P (Creative Thinking Ability Section) has language and drawing sub-domains. The language domain consists of imagination, fluency, flexibility and originality factors. The drawing domain consists of continuation & connection, completion, new elements addition, theme, and unconventionality factors. The translation and back translation processes were conducted for the Turkish adaptation of the scale. Expert opinions were obtained for scope, semantic and conceptual equivalence. The validity and reliability analyzes were conducted to determine that the test was successful in fulfilling certain objectives related to the characteristics that fit wanted to measure. For the reliability assessment: To predict the stability of the test, Test-Retest Reliability and Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation Coefficient were evaluated. For observer reliability, intra-observer consistency and the inter-measure consistency percentage were utilized. For internal consistency Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was calculated. For determining the validity of the test, content validity with expert opinions and construct validity with factor analysis were tested. Exploratory Factor Analysis projected that the scale has a two factor structure composed of 11 sub factors. Results of CFA clarified that the scale has a two factor structure. Inner consistency coefficients and test-retest values proved that the test is a reliable measurement tool. The results of the study confirmed that the test can be used in the assessment of the creative thinking ability of 4-5 year-old Turkish children.

The collected data was analyzed using statistic software, SPSS Statistics 24.0. To confirm reliability of the program, Chronbach alpha was calculated. And Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relations between early childhood teachers’ leisure and resilience. In addition, t-test and one-way ANOVA were accomplished to verify the difference of leisure satisfaction and resilience according to the general backgrounds of early childhood teachers, and Scheffé was used as post-test method. The result of this study were as follows: First, there was a positive relationship between leisure satisfaction and resilience of early childhood teachers. This represents that the higher level of leisure satisfaction is proportional to the higher resilience. Second, the differences in leisure satisfaction and resilience of teachers according to background variables were confirmed. There was no statistical difference in the leisure satisfaction of teachers. However, there was a considerable difference in leisure satisfaction according to the health status of teachers. And there was significant difference in the resilience level. In particular, the resilience level was high in accordance with their marital status, academic background, and health status. The results of this study suggest that there is a static relationship between early childhood teachers’ leisure satisfaction and resilience.
