The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool determining teachers' self-efficacy regarding rubrics. Especially in educational environments, rubrics are measurement tools used in the assessment phase of student products usually based on higher-order thinking skills. Determination of teachers' self-efficacy regarding rubrics can give researchers an idea on how often and how accurately teachers use such tools. For this reason, the existence of a tool accurately measuring self-efficacy variable is necessary. This study's sample consists of 641 elementary, middle and high school teachers. To determine teachers' self-efficacy levels regarding rubrics, 47-item draft was developed. As a result of validity and reliability analyzes, a 28-item measurement tool with a four-factor structure was obtained. The total scale's and sub-factors' internal consistency is quite high. Using this scale, researchers can examine the relationships between teachers' self-efficacy and various variables that play an important role in education. In addition, comparative studies on the intended use of rubrics can be conducted by determining teachers' self-efficacy levels regarding rubrics.
