Özet: The aim of this study is to develop the Attitude Scale for STEAM for middle school students. Study group of this research is the middle school students studying in Düzce in the 2018-2019 academic year. A total of 1000 middle school students participated in the study group determined by random sampling method. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis performed after testing the suitability of the data for the analyses, the scale displayed a five-dimensional structure consisting of 40 items. All items in the scale have positive expressions. It was determined that all the factors that make up the scale explain the 47.71% variance of the scale. The sub-dimensions of the scale were named according to the STEAM field. Then, Confirmatory Factor analysis was performed and the suitability of the model was tested. According to the data obtained in DFA; RMSEA 0.043; NFI 0.94; GFI 0.97, SRMR 0.049 and AGFI 0.87 were found. According to the reliability analysis of the scale, the internal consistency coefficient of the entire scale (Cronbach alpha) was determined as 0.917. It is thought that this developed scale can be used to measure students' attitudes towards STEAM at secondary school level. In this way, it is recommended to use the students for different purposes by determining their attitudes towards these areas.
