Abstract

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable literacy scale for renewable energy resources to identify the literacy levels of pre-service teachers for renewable energy resources, and to reveal the literacy levels of pre-service science teachers for renewable energy resources. Survey model was used in the research. With the study, a 20 item 3 points Likert type Literacy Scale for Renewable Energy Resources consisting of two sub-dimensions was developed. The internal consistency coefficient of the first sub-dimension of the scale was .94 and the internal consistency coefficient of the second sub-dimension was .88, and the overall internal consistency coefficient of the scale was .91. After the scale was developed, it was administered to pre-service science teachers. It was found that pre-service science teachers got an average score of 22.82 from the scale, which can score at most 40. Result showed that the literacy level of pre-service science teachers towards renewable energy resources was at a medium level.
