%X In order to solve the environmental problems effectively, it is important to give a planned and scheduled education from an early age, for people shape their attitudes as a result of the education they receive in family and school in childhood. Also, educating sensitive and conscious individuals will contribute to the reduction of enviromental problems. By identifying the attitude levels of children towards environment in the education process, environmental education can be improved. The purpose of this research is to make the Turkish adaptation of the Two-Factor Environmental Values Model (2-MEV) scale, which was originally developed by Kibbe, Bogner and Kaiser (2014). The scale was applied to 508 students in secondary schools to determine their validity and reliability. Its appropriateness to Turkish culture was tested through confirmatory factor analysis. The scale is composed of 20 items and two dimensions called "Preservation" and "Utilization". Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as .88 for all of the scale; .78 for preservation dimension, and .79 for utilization dimension. The results showed that the structure of the scale is suitable for the Turkish culture and it can be applied to secondary school Turkish students
