dc.description	Health is one of the most fundamental elements of life and health education is increasing its importance each day. The manner health education influences students especially in primary education, where the foundations of education are laid, is an important topic. When the health education curriculum in primary schools is examined in general, it can be observed that it is in the form of an interim discipline embedded in various disciplines. Health education influences students in various aspects through various disciplines by means of various teachers. This condition leads to the conclusion that the attitude and behavior acquired by the student in primary education regarding health influences his/her life in the future in various forms. Based on all these assumptions, the purpose of the study is to develop an attitude scale in order to determine the attitudes of primary school students on health. In this context, the stages required for the preparation and development of a scale have been followed respectively. The validity analyses of the scale were performed and its reliability was determined. Furthermore, the differences between the mean scores of the lower 27% and upper 27% groups were tested with the unrelated t test. As a result, by consulting expert opinions a valid and reliable 34 item student health attitude scale was attempted to be developed.
