Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop a checklist to guide researchers in selecting scales that have already been developed or adapted. For this purpose, scale development and adaptation steps were prepared based on the relevant literature, and the weights of these steps were defined. The prepared steps and their respective weights were sent to 10 academics holding doctoral degrees in the field of measurement and evaluation in education. The academics were asked to provide feedback on the steps and assign weights they deemed appropriate. Based on the feedback received, adjustments were made, and the weights of the scale development and adaptation steps were finalized. A criterion was then established by considering the total score obtainable based on the weights of the steps. Using the proposed criterion, a reference point was provided to assist researchers in determining whether to select a given developed or adapted scale. In this respect, the study is expected to make significant contributions by serving as a guide for researchers in the selection of developed and adapted scales.

Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, geliştirilmiş ya da uyarlanmış bir ölçek kullanacak araştırmacılara rehberlik edecek kontrol listesi geliştirmektir. Bu amaçla araştırmacılar tarafından alanyazına dayalı olarak ölçek geliştirme ve uyarlama adımları hazırlanmış ve tüm adımların ağırlıkları tanımlanmıştır. Hazırlanmış olan adımlar ve ağırlıkları eğitimde ölçme ve değerlendirme alanında doktora derecesine sahip olan 10 akademisyene gönderilmiştir. Akademisyenlerden hem adımlara yönelik görüşleri hem de takdir ettikleri ağırlıklar istenmiştir. Gelen dönütlere göre düzenlemeler yapılarak ölçek geliştirme ve uyarlama adımlarının ağırlıkları tanımlanmış, adımların ağırlıklarına göre elde edilecek toplam puan göz önüne alınarak bir ölçüt belirlenmiştir. Hâlihazırda geliştirilmiş/uyarlanmış bir ölçeği seçecek araştırmacılara önerilen ölçüt temel alınarak bu ölçekleri seçip seçmeme konusunda bir referans sunulmuştur. Bu yönüyle çalışmanın geliştirilmiş ya da uyarlanmış ölçeklerin seçiminde rehber oluşturması açısından önemli katkıları olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Ethical Statement
Bu araştırma, Trakya Üniversitesi Sosyal ve Beşeri Bilimler Araştırmaları Etik Kurulu'nun 29.05.2024 tarihli toplantısında alınan 05/09 numaralı kararı ile alınan izinle yürütülmüştür.
