This study aims to develop a scale revealing the perceptions of quality in Education Faculties within the framework of the system approach from the perspective of the senior students and graduates (teachers). The scale items were created by the researchers by using the data obtained from the relevant literature and stakeholders with open-ended questions. The data collection tool was organized with the feedback of the experts. A total of 1098 participants, including students and graduates from different universities, were included in the study to perform exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. At the end of the exploratory factor analysis, the findings show that 72 items in the scale, graded as five-point Likert-type, form a nine-factor structure. According to the results of the first and second order confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit values of the scale and the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient were found to be acceptable. The scale consists of nine sub-dimensions within the framework of the system approach as follows: input-the encouragement of teaching profession, teacher educators, non-educational staff, classroom; process-learning and teaching, school and faculty cooperation, output, feedback, environment.
