Academic burnout can cause exhaustion, frustration, lack of motivation and reduced academic ability in school. This research aims to develop an academic burnout scale with the Rasch model approach. The convenience sampling method was applied in taking samples, which involved 576 high school students. The research instrument used was the academic burnout scale. The analysis technique applied the Rasch model with the Winstep programme. The results of this research show that the developed academic burnout scale indicates better validity and reliability, and so it complies with the psychometric principles of psychology assessment instrument development. The research findings can be utilised as the instruments for student academic burnout assessment. Further experiments involving diverse subjects are necessary to improve the quality of the academic burnout scale’s items.         Keywords: Validation, scale, academic burnout, psychology assessment, Rasch model.
