| Summary: | This research aims to develop a valid and reliable scale that determines primary school students' level of inspiration from nature. The scale is called the Inspiration from Nature Scale (IfNS). Participants are primary school students studying in Konya in the second semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. In line with the purpose of the research, the literature related to the scale development process was reviewed, and an item pool was created. In line with the opinions of field experts, 19 of these items were decided, and the scale was applied to 847 students studying in different provinces. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach alpha analysis, item analysis, test-retest reliability and criterion validity were performed to examine the validity and reliability of the scale. As a result of the factor analysis performed with the data obtained, the scale structure was determined as three factors (interest, bonding, fear) and 13 items. The Inspiration from Nature Scale has been determined as a valid and reliable tool that can be used to reveal primary school students' levels of inspiration from nature.
