The aim of this study is to develop a scale to determine the perceived pedagogical competence of the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT) graduates. The development of the Computer Education and Instructional Technology Graduate's Perceived Pedagogical Competency Scale was carried out in five stages. At the first stage, it is aimed to determine the targeted pedagogical competencies gained in the department. For this purpose, a questionnaire which included open-ended questions about the undergraduate program and the pedagogical competencies gained in the department was developed. Some courses which aim to give pedagogical qualifications from the undergraduate program like "Educational Psychology, Classroom Management, Special Teaching Methods, Design and Use of Materials in Education" etc. were examined. After that open-ended questions were prepared. These questions were presented to 3 academics who are experts in the field of Computer Education and Instructional Technology. In line with the suggestions received from the experts, a questionnaire form was developed for "Pedagogical Competences for the Graduates" and the data collection process was started to determine the pedagogical competencies The first draft of the scale form contained 58 pedagogical qualifications' items. Among the scale items, there is no item that is encoded inversely. During the analysis first, it was checked to make sure that the data were entered without any errors. Then, it was examined whether the data were suitable for explanatory factor analysis. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a scale consisting of 5 factors and 30 items emerged. The result of the explanatory factor analysis reveals 68.5% of the total variance of the five factors emerging. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be .954. According to this result, it is possible to say that the scale is a reliable scale and it can be used by researchers.
