As the digital reading from the screen has become quite common in recent years, the spread rate is increasing. As well as symbols, digital texts with moving images and even sound attract individuals of all ages. It is still unclear how positive and negative digital reading affects mental development and how interactive it is between the eye and the brain. Phones, tablets, computers on the knees, etc., which are an important / indispensable phenomenon in almost every field of life. Encourage young people to learn digital. The features of the Internet – despite information pollution – such as hosting all kinds of information, being able to update quickly, increasing communication capabilities and providing fun time are quite attractive for young individuals. The interest of young people in this subject is worth researching. The measurement tool that will be developed regarding the digital reading attitude has been handled with the idea that the subject will be effective in the scientific sub-scale assessment. The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for evaluating the attitudes of teachers candidates towards digital reading. In the process of developing the measurement tool, the area was first scanned in the summer and the teacher candidates were prepared with an open end question form on digital reading and the candidates were given their opinions on the subject. In the light of the data obtained from the field summer scan and the instructor candidates’ descriptions, judgments/substances were created and they were collected in a pool. The draft scale, which consists of 40 items, was presented to the expert opinion and after the corrections, 3 items were removed from the measuring tool. As a result, a candidate measurement tool with 37 subjects before the pilot application was revealed. The work on the development of the Digital Reading Attitude Scale (DOTÖ) for Teacher Candidates has been carried out in accordance with the measures taken in the Covid-19 process. The participants were accessed via the internet. There was no interaction. The pilot study process was carried out in the educational faculties of 2 different public universities located in the Egean region (319 teachers from the university A and 169 teachers candidates from the university B were included to study), with teachers candidates studying in ten different main disciplines, 3 and 4 classes. For the implementation of the DOTÖ development applications in the AFA framework 324; in the DFA framework 164 in total 488 teachers candidates (195 men, 293 women) were reached. For the determination of the factor structure of the measurement, both the detector (AFA) and the verifying factor analysis (DFA) were performed. The analysis results in the KMO value of the scale 0. 818; Cronbach's Alpha value 0.956; Spearman-Brown correlation value 0.92; Guttman Split-Half value 0.923; Anova Tukey's Nonadditivity ,000, Hotelling's T-Squared ,000 and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient value ,000 are found and the scale consists of two lower scales. The first low scale scale variation is 33.22% and the second low scale scale variation is 21.08%. The factor load values of the substances in the first subscale range from 0.81 to 1-0.535 and the factor load values of the substances in the second subscale range from 0.791 to -0.476. The variance value that the two factors explain is 54.30%. After verifying factor analysis IFI value is 0.92; NFI 0.89; NNFI 0.92; IFI 0.92; CFI 0.92; REMSEA 0.12 and X2/sd value 2. It is 75 defined. The scale consists of two sub scales and 31 questions.
