The purpose of this study is to adapt the "Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale for Computer Literacy Education (CPSES)" developed by Tsai et al. (2019) into Turkish for middle school students and to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool. The participants of the study consisted of 348 eighth grade students. In order to test the factor structures of the adapted scale, the data obtained were analyzed with first and second order factor analysis. The results of the analysis showed that the adapted scale had high reliability, convergent validity and divergent validity. The results of the first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis showed that both models had good fit values with the data. All 16 items and 5-factor structure (Logical Thinking, Cooperation, Algorithm, Control, Debug) in the original scale were retained in the Turkish scale. As a result, it was concluded that the Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale for Computer Literacy Education (CPSES) is a valid and reliable measurement tool in Turkish culture.
