The aim of this study is to develop a scale enabling the determination and evaluation of the learning
habits of mind displayed by music teacher candidates in the individual instrument education course.
The scale form which was created for this purpose was presented to 10 experts who have a PhD
degree in music education. As a result of the feedback from the experts, the scale form was shaped.
The 41-item trial form was applied to 241 music teacher candidates who received music teacher
training in 3 universities in the first stage of the scale development, and 223 music teacher candidates
who received the same training in 3 universities in the second stage. A total of 464 people were
reached. By analyzing the data obtained, a final scale form having 7 dimensions, and 27 items was
reached. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were found to be 0.897 and 0.906 for Exploratory
Factor Analysis (AFA) and For Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), respectively.
