Özet: The aim of the study is to develop a new scale, called the “Classroom Management Anxiety Scale for Candidate Teachers”. This study was carried out on three different groups consisting of university senior class students from Mehmet Akif Ersoy University in Turkey. The psychometric properties of the Scale (CMAS-CT) were analyzed by means of item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal consistency and split-half methods. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) results demonstrated that the scale comprised five factors. As a result of the EFA, the factor loadings of 25 items in the five factors were found to vary between 0.39 and 0.85. These five factors explained 54% of the total variance. CFA results demonstrated that five dimensional model provides good fit as per obtained fit index values. The Scale (CMAS-CT)’s internal consistency coefficient total scale score was determined .89 and split-half reliability coefficient was determined part 1 .85 and part 2 .79. In conclusion, Classroom Management Anxiety Scale for Candidate Teachers can be used as a reliable and valid measure for Turkish university senior class students.
