Abstract	The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Digital Writing Scale that measures the perspectives of individuals on digital writing. A total of 615 preservice teachers studying in the faculty of education at a state university in Turkey participated in the study (n = 615). The data were collected in two phases for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Three-hundred pre-service teachers participated in the first phase and 315 in the second phase of the study. In the analyses of the data obtained in the first phase, the exploratory factor analysis employed principal axis factoring technique with direct oblimin rotation and a two-factor model, both of which consists of 7 items, was obtained. The Cronbach's [alpha] coefficients were 0.851 for digital translating factor and 0.852 for digital reviewing factor. In the second phase, confirmatory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation demonstrated a statistically significant model fit to the data with five indices indicating a good fit and one indicating a substantial fit. The study, which endorsed the Hayes and Flower model and cognitive process theory of writing, resulted in a valid and reliable Digital Writing Scale. Digital Writing Scale is the first Turkish scale that measures the perspectives of individuals on digital writing. Factor scores did not differ according to sex or department of the respondents.
