The aim of this study is to develop a scale that researchers and educators could use on elementary school students and which could measure the reliability and validity of sportspersonship behavior in physical education course. In developing the scale, similar scales in literature and questionnaires as well as physical education curriculum were also investigated. In addition, after  receiving relevant student, teacher and specialist opinions, a draft version was prepared. The draft prepared with a 5 point Likert item and measuring the frequency of behavior exposed was administered on 449 elementary school students studying in the province of Erzincan. For the validity of the scale, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, item-total correlation were measured while for reliability Cronbach- alpha internal consistency, test-retest and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co- efficiency were measured. For data analysis, SPSS 15 and LISREL 8,7 programs were used. The findings showed that the scale was valid and reliable. Two factor structure of the scale with 22 items was in general compatible with the theoretical form of sportspersonship behavior components.
