Abstract: The purpose of this study was to translate the Goal Orientation Scale revised by Elliot, Murayama and Pekrun (2011) based on the 3 x 2 model into Turkish and to conduct the validity and reliability analyses. The adaptation of the scale to Turkish was done with the pre-service teachers taking “Educational Psychology” course at university level. A total of 198 pre-service teachers participated in the pilot study while 311 pre-service teachers attended the main study. As a result of pilot study, some revisions were made in the sentence structure of the items considering the expert opinions. As a result of the main study, it was found that the scale consisted of 18 items and six sub-dimensions (task-approach, task-avoidance, self-approach, self-avoidance, other-approach, other-avoidance) consistent with the original study. In addition, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients were satisfactory for each sub-dimension. As a result of this study, the scores obtained by using 3 x 2 Goal Orientation Scale were found to be valid and reliable. Accordingly, separating the mastery goals in the 2 x 2 model as "task" and "self" goals in the 3 x 2 model was found to be appropriate for Turkish sample.
