Özet

Problem Statement: On examining the renewed elementary education program, it was seen that the technology dimension has been added to elementary education science lessons. When the related literature was reviewed, it was observed that there were no measurement tools to determine the self-efficacy of elementary school students regarding science and technology in Turkey. Therefore, there is a need for a measurement tool which can establish students' self-efficacy in science and technology education.
