Abstract: Attitudes play an important role in the formation of behaviours. Attitude is defined as an emotional reaction to an object, person or behaviour. People's attitudes towards objects or situations can be positive or negative. Teachers' attitudes and beliefs about students' learning abilities affect achievement. When teachers have high expectations of students and are willing to take personal responsibility for them, students participate more effectively in the learning process and consequently learn more permanently. This research aims to develop a scale by performing validity and reliability analyses of the "Teachers' Attitudes Towards Students Scale"(TATSS). In this study, which aims to develop a scale to determine teachers' attitudes towards students, the survey model, one of the quantitative research models, was used. The scale consists of a total of 19 items and two subscales. Scale items covering teachers' attitudes towards students, factor I: Effort for Students; II. Factor: It consists of the Dimension of Being Appreciated by Students. As a result of the reliability analysis, the " TATSS " was accepted to be a reliable tool (α = 0.912).
