For this purpose, the research was carried out based on the quantitative research method. The sample group of the study consists of 558 students studying at the city of Istanbul in the 2019-2020 academic year at the seventh and eighth grade level. Within the scope of the scale to be developed in this context, a climate literacy draft form consisting of 81 expressions prepared by the researcher as a result of the literature review conducted in detail was used as a data collection tool. The draft form of the prepared scale was examined by expert lecturers in the field and expert opinion was taken. Then, its suitability was examined through science and social studies teachers, and it was controlled in terms of language expression through language experts. In accordance with the expert opinions, the question items in the draft form of the scale were reduced from 81 items to 73 items. The draft form of the climate literacy scale, which was finalized with a pilot application, was applied to the determined middle school students. Data obtained after the application were analyzed with spss and lisrel statistics programs. In the process of analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to ensure construct validity of the scale; In terms of reliability, internal consistency coefficient calculation and item analyzes were performed. Regarding the item analysis, the t-values of item analysis based on item-total score correlations and sub-upper group mean difference were also calculated. As a result of the factor analysis conducted, it was observed that the developed scale was a structure consisting of 3 items with a total of 24 items. Confirmatory factor analysis of the scale was performed in order to confirm the obtained three-factor structure. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the 3-factor structure of the scale was confirmed and fit indexes were examined. As a result of the analysis, the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient calculated for all the reliability of the scale was calculated as 0.895. In line with the findings obtained within the scope of the research, it was revealed that the scale aimed to determine the climate literacy skill levels of secondary school students is a valid and reliable measurement tool. In this context, it has been determined that the developed climate literacy scale is a measurement tool that can be applied to secondary school students and suggestions for implementation have been made.Aslı GÖRGÜLÜ ARIKevser ARSLANFırat Universityarticleclimateclimate literacyscale developmentsecondary school studentsSocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 13, Iss 82, Pp 147-174 (2021)
