This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale to determine the academicians' active learning practices levels. The item pool created for this aim was sent to field experts. According to the feedback from the experts, necessary corrections were made and a 40-item draft form was created. A total of 469 academicians were reached, 294 for the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) phase and 175 for the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) phase. EFA was performed via the SPSS program with the data obtained from the participants. The analysis results in a structure consisting of 28 items and five factors, namely “Enhancing Collaboration”, “Using Digital Learning Technologies”, “Activating Mental Processes”, “Encouraging Asking Questions” and “Assigning Tasks”. To verify the structure revealed by EFA, CFA was performed in Mplus 8.4 program. The relationship between the factors was determined as positive and significant. It has been proven sub-factors are components of a main structure called active learning practices, and together they form a superstructure. Goodness-of-fit index values of the model were found as χ2/sd= 1.62, RMSEA= 0.060, SRMR= 0.070, CFI= 0.90, and TLI= 0.89. Finally, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients for the whole scale and its sub-factors were calculated as 0.93 and reliability proofs of the scale were obtained.
