Özet

In this study, The Scientific Curiosity (SCILE) scale in learning environments such as school, home, museum, and society developed by Weible and Zimmerman (2016) to translate Turkish language and a validity and reliability study was conducted. For language validity study, the scale was translated into Turkish by the language and field experts. The Turkish form was translated into English by a language specialist and compared to the original structure, and the scale was finalized. The data were collected from 284 students in two different high schools in a province in the Eastern Anatolia region. The data were analyzed by Exploratory Factor Analysis. The exploratory factor analysis results demonstrated that the questionnaire has two-dimensional structure and ten items. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found in ,799. The findings indicate that the ÖOBM scale is a valid measurement to measure high school student’s scientific curiosity in a learning environment such as schools, homes, museums, and society.
