It is shown that the students have quite difficulty in geometric concepts at the many stages of education. A factor which is effective in the students' learning about mathematics concepts is also self-efficacy beliefs. The students' self-efficacy beliefs which are effected their motivations and performances must be high. However, the scales detemining the students' self-effcacy beliefs in many areas are quite limited. The scale was improved by researcher aiming at determining the students' self efficacy beliefs towards geometry. The scale improved has been done the reliability and validity. At the result of the study, it was found that the validity and reliability (alpha=0.90) of the scale was high.
