“…The role of education in the sustainability of these common denominators, which is created by values, is quite significant (Altan, 2011; Cihan, 2014; Oğuz, 2012). Values education refers to any explicit or implicit school-based activity that instills skills in students so that they can develop their knowledge of values and put these values into practice (Akbaş, 2009; Zbar et al , 2003). Inclusion of values education in all education programs is considered important for raising “good people” (Duer et al , 2002; Hunt, 1981; Ibrahim, 1999; Lovat, 2009).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale that can measure the level of respect for differences of middle school students. The validity and reliability studies of the scale draft prepared as a result of the opinions received were carried out on 964 middle school students. Design/methodology/approach The sequential exploratory mixed method was used. In the study, attitude items were created by examining the studies in the literature with qualitative methods, and the scale was then finalized by applying tests for the attitude scale prepared with quantitative methods. Findings As a result of the exploratory factor analysis made on the data obtained, a structure consisting of 20 items and four factors as “gender”, “disability status”, “physical appearance” and “cultural identity” were reached. Also, it was seen that the scale identified 56% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis that was performed on another sample showed that the sample fit of the scale was at an acceptable level. The reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as Cronbach’s α = 0.815; composite reliability was ranged between 0.766 and 0.894 and the internal consistency of the scale was quite high. It was concluded that the scale developed to determine the level of respect for differences is a valid and reliable measurement tool. Originality/value This study is considered significant in terms of presenting a valid and reliable scale that will reveal the attitudes of middle school students towards differences in the literature.
