Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to develop a scale to determine the ability of educational partners including teachers, teacher candidates and academicians in using Turkish language teaching methods and techniques and examine the Turkish language teaching methods and techniques of Turkish teachers according to different variables. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 233 Turkish teachers, 148 of whom were female and 85 of whom were male, who worked as Turkish teachers in secondary schools across Turkey during the fall semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed for construct validity of the scale. The scale was developed as a 5-point Likert type and consisted of four factors (cooperative teaching, teaching through invention, teaching through presentation, teaching through research-examination) and 26 items. There were five items in the cooperative teaching factor of the scale and the factor load values of these items ranged between .832 and .689. There were 12 items in the teaching through invention factor of the scale and the factor load values of these items ranged between .770 and .489. There were five items in the teaching through presentation factor of the scale and the factor load values of these items ranged between .735 and .644. There were four items in the teaching through research-examination factor of the scale and the factor load values of these items range between .701 and .532. The Cronbach’s α reliability coefficient of the scale was determined as .802 and a high internal consistency was established. Correlation values between the factors of the scale were found to be positive and moderate. This situation shows that the methods and techniques included in the factors of the scale are related to each other. In the scale development process, Turkish teachers' skills in using Turkish teaching methods and techniques do not show statistically significant differences in terms of gender, age, education level, school type and graduated department variables; in terms of working year variable, there is a statistically significant difference in cooperative teaching factor, teaching through invention factor and teaching through research-examination factor. As a result, it can be said that the Ability to Use Turkish Teaching Methods and Techniques Scale is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to determine the method and technique using skills in Turkish teaching.
