Classroom Attendance Scale (CAS) is prepared with 14 items. Prepared CAS consists of items with likert type. Sample of the study consists of 318 college students who study at education faculty at science education and primary education programs along with students who work at engineering faculty. Principal axis factoring with orthogonal rotation (varimax) is used for exploratory factor analysis. Factor eigenvalues are obtained and corrected-item total correlations were analyzed. Items which did not serve the purpose of scale were omitted from CAS. Thus, analyses with same procedure were reconducted several times until reaching to a final version of the CAS. A confirmatory factor analysis with Maximum Likelihood is applied to a different sample (N=229) and CAS is approved by most common fit indices values. Total sample of the study consists of 547 participants and finalized CAS consists of 8 items and scale’s Cronbach’s alpha value is .923
