For the purpose “Attitude scale towards the European Union Lifelong Learning Projects” developed by the researchers were applied to 211 academicians at Education Faculty in Turkey, who were determined with easily accessible sampling technique and 9 academicians at a university chosen regarding maximum variability sampling technique were interviewed. It was studied to prove the reliability and validity of the scale with the help of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach alpha reliability parameter.
