Abstract :In recent years, expectations for higher education institutions to cultivate qualified individuals have increased. In this context, student agency has gained importance as one of the key qualities that students are expected to possess. Based on this significance, the present study aimed to develop a Student Agency Scale (SAS) for undergraduate students enrolled in higher education. In line with the relevant theoretical framework, 69 candidate items were initially created, and following expert review, analyses were conducted with the remaining 59 items. The analyses were carried out with undergraduate students studying at a public university. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted with 597 participants. The results indicated that the scale consists of 29 items and has a five-factor structure. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted with a different sample of 297 participants, and the five-factor structure was confirmed. After removing two items that exhibited multicollinearity, the final form of the scale was composed of 28 items across five dimensions. For criterion validity, the relationship between SAS and two theoretically related scales was examined, and a moderate to high positive correlation was found. The internal consistency reliability coefficients, calculated using McDonald’s omega and Cronbach’s alpha were found to be.96 after EFA and .95 after CFA. Test-retest reliability analyses were conducted with a group of 73 students. It is observed that the correlation between the scores obtained from the two administrations is .80. It was determined that SAS, which includes 28 items and five dimensions, is valid and reliable.
