dc.description	The purpose of this study is to develop an attitude scale towards physics to evaluate attitudes required by the new physics curriculum and its modern learning approaches, and to determine the appropriateness of the scale in terms of validity and the reliability. The study was conducted with 166, 9th grade students. The developed scale was presented to the field experts for content validity. The total item correlations, item discrimination and internal consistency measures were implemented on the scale in terms of validity and reliability analysis respectively. According to the analysis results, the scale had four subscales named as importance, conception, requirement and interest. Cronbach Alpha coefficients were calculated for all subscales as 0,838, 0,795 0,749 0,717 respectively and for whole scale as 0,873. As a result, it can be concluded that the developed scale is a valid and reliable instrument and can be utilized by teachers and education researchers especially at secondary grades.
