The emotions that students experience during the homework process have a significant impact on academic
outcomes. Although the importance of homework has been demonstrated in numerous studies, its value in
practice is poorly understood. In this study, the Homework Related Emotions Scale was adapted into Turkish.
The adapted scale will assist researchers in determining the variables that affect homework emotions and the
variables that are affected by emotions. In order to adapt the scale into Turkish, first language equivalence
studies were conducted and then validity and reliability analyses were conducted. A total of 471 middle
school students (31 for language equivalence, 220 for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and 220 for
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)) were included in the study. In the EFA and CFA analyses performed on
the data, the original scale was divided into five sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions of the scale measure
five emotions, two positive and three negative; enjoyment, pride, anxiety, anger and boredom. Cronbach's
alpha coefficient, item total, AVE and CR values also supported the validity and reliability of the scale. As a
result, it can be said that the Homework Related Emotions Scale is suitable for use in Turkish culture. The
scale can be used in scientific studies to determine the five emotions of middle school students towards
mathematics homework.
