The objection of this study is to develop a behavior measure regarding the old Turkish works. For this purpose, a 17 issue measure device is prepared as per the sensual area taxonomy. Measuring device was applied to the 272 candidate teachers, who study at different departments related with social sciences in Atatürk University, Kâzım Karabekir Faculty of Education. Factor analysis technique was applies to the obtained values, and reliability coefficient was calculated. With the obtained findings, it is determined that the issues in the measuring device and the samples are suitable and sufficient for the factor analysis. At the conclusion of the data analysis, the measuring device was transformed into a single factor that elucidates the 48 % of the total variance. The factor loads of the issues in the measuring device vary between 0.542 and 0.820; and the common factor variances (excluding issue 6) between 0.368 and 0.673. The reliability coefficient of the measuring device is calculated as 0.93. As a result, it may be stated that this measuring device developed, may, in different contexts, be used as a reliable and valid measuring device, in order to determine the behaviors regarding the Old Turkish Works (ETE).
