Özet: The aim of this study is to adapt the Cooperative Learning Attitude Scale into Turkish and determine engineering students’ attitudes towards the cooperative learning. The study is based on the descriptive scanning model. The study group consists of 466 engineering students. The validity of the scale is confirmed through exploration factor analysis and item discriminative power methods. On these data descriptive statistics and t, Anova and Scheffe tests have been employed (p<0, 05). The findings show that the adapted scale is valid and reliable in determining the level of cooperative learning attitudes of the engineering students in Turkish cultural environment. Moreover, the level of the attitude towards the cooperative learning for engineering students is found to be high and does not show any meaningful difference across the gender and engineering disciplines. On the other hand, the level of the attitudes shows a meaningful difference across the grade levels in engineering education.
