Bu araştırmanın amacı, Plake ve Parker (1982) tarafından geliştirilen Revize Edilmiş Matematik Kaygısı Değerlendirme Ölçeği’ni (RMKDÖ) Türkçeye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirliğini incelemektir. Araştırmaya, Sakarya Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesinde okuyan 372 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Öncelikle ölçeğin dilsel eşdeğerliği incelenmiş ve dilsel eşdeğerliğe sahip olduğu görüldükten sonra geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde ölçeğin orijinal formla uyumlu olduğu görülmüştür. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayısı .93, test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayıları ise .91 olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca ölçeğin düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonlarının .30 ile .80 arasında sıralandığı bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlara göre ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.
