however, it has become much more important  \nthan ever before as the way and with whom we communicate have changed. That is why  \neducators need to have valid and reliable tools to understand how this skill is perceived by  \nstudents. This study aims to provide a valid and reliable secondary school students’  \ncommunication attitude scale (SSSCAS) . A draft form for the scale was prepared with 32 items  \ndepending on the relevant literature and reviewed by experts in the field. The revised form was  \napplied to 397 students at a state secondary school in Aksaray city of Turkey in the 2020-2021  \nacademic year. First, explanatory factor analysis that tests construct validity was carried out and  \nthree items were extracted from further analysis due to insufficient factor loadings. The remaining  \n29 items are placed under four sub-dimensions called openness to communication, body language  \nand preferences, self-confidence, and obstacles. The structure was tested through confirmatory  \nfactor analysis and the validity of the scale with the four sub-dimensions was found to be  \nappropriate. The Cronbach’s alpha values of all sub-dimensions and the scale were above the  \nrequired level. As a result, the developed scale is a valid and reliable scale to assess communication  \nattitudes of secondary school students.  \nKeywords: Communication skill, 21st century abilities, Transversal skills, Scale development, Exploratory factor analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis.  \nCitation | Serkan BOYRAZ (2022) .
