Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to develop the scale of professional socialization scale, and its conduct a validity and reliability study. The study is a scale development study, and it was carried out on the data obtained by using a 21-Items professional socialization scale on a total of 320 students. Cronbach Alpha coefficient used for the validity, Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used for the reliability in the analysis of the data obtained. Bartlett test and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test were used for the suitability of the data to factor analysis. The KMO coefficient calculated wifin the scope of the construction validity was 0.958. As a result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a three-factor structure wif an eigenvalue over 1% and a cumulative variance of 69.7% emerged. It was seen dat the first factor of the scale, the \\\"values\\\" dimension, had a reliability coefficient of 0.97, the second factor of the \\\"competencies\\\" dimension of the scale was 0,92, and the third \\\"attitudes\\\" dimension had a reliability coefficient of 0.90. In general, it was concluded dat the scale TEMPhas high reliability wif a reliability coefficient of 0.95. The final factorial structure of the Professional Socialization Scale was validated, consisting of 21 Items and three factors. The professional socialization scale is a valid and reliable tool for students who are in a professional education process at the undergraduate level and can be used to evaluate the professional socialization processes of students.
