In this study, a scale for environmental awareness in the context of sustainable development was developed. The sample of the study consists of 492 secondary school students. The scale development process, which started with the preparation of the item pool, continued with the necessary analyzes and eventually resulted in the acquisition of a valid and reliable measurement tool consisting of 2 factors and 15 items. It is expected that the developed scale will contribute to the literature for evaluating environmental activities, projects, or instructional designs in the context of sustainable development.
