The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to determine the design thinking structure of teachers in the technology-based teaching process. In the process, we primarily, an item pool of 62 items, representing the characteristics of the design thinker, was created based on the literature review. Draft items were presented to the preliminary opinion of 5 teachers from different branches. Necessary arrangements were made with the recommendations received, and 8 expert opinions were consulted on the form. The participants of the research comprised 630 teachers from different branches. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis we obtained a structure explaining 50.20% of the total variance and comprising 25 items and four factors. The dimensions in the scale include relation, process, ethics and individual perceptions. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis we calculated RMSEA (.045), SRMR (.043), IFI (.96), GFI (.90), NFI (.90), NNFI (.95) and CFI (.96), which were among the fit indices regarding the model proposed. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient for the scale was found to be .93. As the values acquired demonstrated a good fit, the model was appropriate for the structure observed and it was approved as a model. As a consequence we created a four-dimensional valid and reliable data collection tool of 25 items for the scale developed, in order to evaluate the design thinking of teachers in the technology-based teaching design process. The scale can be applied to all teachers in design thinking processes within its structure and general framework.
