During the scale development process, validity and reliability analyses were conducted. The results of these analyses revealed that the scale for qualified educational literacy for sustainable development is valid, reliable, and useful. The scale consists of 41 items and three dimensions. Using this developed scale, teachers' levels of qualified educational literacy for sustainable development can be measured.
