摘要：Materialism, the illness of our age, can be defined as the desire to purchase excess or luxury
goods though not necessary. The people with materialistic values tend to possess negative
attitudes and behaviour towards their environment. Contrary to the individuals with a
materialistic tendency towards the environment, there are also others who pay attention to
preserving nature and consume in the light of this view. Individuals learn about materialism by
observing reference groups that they have taken as a model such as parents, friends and teachers
since their childhood. In this respect, it is important to identify teachers’ materialistic tendencies
towards the environment. The purpose of this study is to develop an assessment tool that
identifies the materialistic tendencies of the prospective teachers. This study was conducted
according to the survey model chosen from among quantitative approaches. The study group was
selected by means of purposive sampling method. For the construct validity study, the main
sample was diveded by random sampling (n = 600) into two equal halves (300 each). In the first
half, AFA was applied to examine the factor structure of the test and in the second half, DFA was
used to test the factor structure obtained in the first half.As a result of the analyses made, a final
scale of 4 Likert type with 39 items was developed. It was determined that the scale had a onefactor
structure and accounted for a significant portion of the total variance (54,890%). In order
to determine the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficient was
calculated and found to be 0.94. These findings also indicate the validity and reliability of the
scale.
