In this paper, it has been aimed to be develop a scale to measure 4th and 5th. grade students’ attitudes toward science and technology. For this purpose, after reviewing the literature, the scale consisting of 20 Likert-type items was created and presented to the experts to get their opinions. Then the scale was administered to 60 primary school students as a pilot implementation to revise the scale. With the results of the pilot implementation and expert opinions, changes have been made on the scale. Revised scale was administered to randomly selected 144 primary education 4th and 5th grade students in central Kutahya. The scale was then set down to 12 items at the end of the implementation. Factor analysis was conducted to determine the construct validity of the scale. Kaiser-MeyerOlkin(KMO) value that was referred to for structural validity was found to be 0.81 and Barlett’s test significance value was established to be 0.00. It was found to have three factors explaining 60 % of the total variance of the scale. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha) value estimated for the reliability analysis of the scale was observed to be α=0.83. These values show that the scale is a valid and reliable scale
