Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to adapt the “Dispositions towards Love Pedagogy Scale” developed by Yin et al. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2019); based on Loreman insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2011); to the Turkish language to determine the level of use of love by teachers in the educational environment. The Dispositions towards Love Pedagogy Scale was first translated into Turkish and language equivalence study was conducted. Then, the Cronbach Alpha value was determined to be α= .91 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<.05); in the pilot study conducted with 54 classroom teachers. The reliability and validity analyses of the scale were made with the data obtained by conducting the main study with 609 classroom teachers in Diyarbakır. The Cronbach\`s alpha coefficient which was used to test the reliability of the scale, was found to be α= .93 and the total item correlation values were r=.40 to r=.70. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis which was examined to test the validity of the scale, a six-factor structure that explained 65.54% of the total variance was obtained. The resulting six-factor structure was tested with confirmatory factor analysis and the fit indices were found to be significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(χ2=997.736, df=353, p=.00);. In the model obtained from CFA, it was seen that the item load values between the observed variables and latent variables varied between .40 and .88, and the t values were significant. With the analyzes made, the important results were obtained in the direction that the Turkish form can be used in a valid and reliable way in the literature of our country.
