dc.description.abstractAlthough all kinds of knowledge is valuable, some non-scientific knowledge can cause confusion on students’ minds. Science-pseudoscience distinction should be taught in all levels of education to protect especially young age students from this confusion. It is hard to change gained beliefs so giving importance to demarcation from elementary to university levels needs to be the noticed. In this study it is aimed to develop a scale for sciencepseudoscience distinction for elementary school students. For this purpose datas was collected from 717 students who were attending 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. 21 item scale was created by structural equation modeling. Lisrel 8.7 programme was used for analyze. The observed fit indexes were ? 2 /sd 3.21, RMSEA 0.056, RMR 0.0077, SRMR 0.048, GFI 0.93, AGFI 0.9, CFI 0.95, NNFI 0.94. All values were found acceptable according to literature. KR-20 internal consistency coefficients for the test were calculated and found as .836. Therefore the scale which was named ad “Widely accepted opinions scale” and was developed by this study is an valid and reliable data collection tool for elementary school students. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.en_US
