摘要:The aim of this study is to develop a current, valid and reliable geometry attitude scale which can be used to identify high school students’ attitudes towards geometry. The study was carried out in five stages that are: (1) Item collection for draft scale and detection of content validity, (2) Practicing, (3) Analyzing the obtained data (item analysis and factor analysis (detection of construct validity)), (4) Calculating reliability and (5) constructing the final form of the scale. The draft scale consisting of 40 items was administered to 639 high school students at 5 different types of high school in Ordu. As a result of the analysis procedures, the geometry scale grouped into four factors accounted for 47.03% of total variance with 24 items and Cronbach- Alpha, total internal reliability coefficient, of the final scale was calculated as 0.895. It is thought that the attitude scale developed for this research fills gap as it takes the new objective, skills and approaches introduced by the curriculum changes in our country into account, and there is not any current scale developed in this direction
