摘要：The aim of this study is to adapt the Argumentation Test developed by Sampson and Clark (2006) and the Perceptions of Argumentation Test developed by Chin (2008) into Turkish. 245 high school students and 252 primary science pre-service teachers participated in this study. The reliability of the adapted version of the Argumentation Test was found to be 0.70. In order to test the validity of each test, two experts in English completed the Scale of Consistency in English-Turkish and the calculated values regarding the scale showed that both English and Turkish versions of the tests were consistent. In addition, an expert in English who investigated the back translations of the tests into English denoted that the original versions and the back translations were consistent. Based on these results, it can be said that the Turkish versions of both tests are valid and reliable.
