dc.description.abstractSkill-based science questions are employed in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) examinations. In T & uuml;rkiye, the implementation of a new question style, designated as skills-based questions, has been observed in the context of the high school entrance examination. The initial objective was to develop an attitude scale towards skill-based science questions (AS-SSQ). The second objective of the study is to examine student attitudes in relation to specific variables. In order to achieve these objectives, the study was conducted using an exploratory mixed-methods research design. The scale items, which were developed for scale, were administered to a sample of 437 secondary school students. Items analysis was conducted, as well as a Cronbach's Alpha and factor analysis. A reliability and validity analysis revealed that the AS-SSQ comprises 20 items and four factors, namely enjoyment, anxiety, skill and confidence. The data set comprised 1,508 secondary school students, and the fit indices of the scale were examined by performing a confirmatory factor analysis with the data obtained. Despite the absence of statistically significant differences in attitude scores according to gender, a statistically significant difference was observed in attitude scores according to grade level. This study provided the development and implementation of a scale to measure attitudes toward skill-based questions.
