This work aims to establish a scale to assess the amount of impact of social and cultural activities performed by primary, secondary and high school students have on spiritual values gains. Within the scope of values education, travel, contest, scouting, reading books, seminars, conferences, camps etc. many activities are carried out. Determining how much social and cultural activities affect the progress of achieving target values is highly important. In the research that was conducted in Istanbul in 2020, 755 students participated. The KMO value of the scale is 0.947; because of the Barlett test, the chi square value is significant. Because of the exploratory factor analysis (AFA), it was concluded that the scale was made of 18 items and 3 factors, and explained 66.6% of the total variance. It was determined that the load values of the factors named honesty and responsibility, patience and respect, helpfulness ranged between 0.55-0.82. In the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) phase, it was seen that X-2=2.64 and RMSEA=0.078. Other fit indices, NFI=0.97, NNFI=0.98, CFI=0.98, RFI=0.96, RMR=0.060, SRMR=0.046 and IFI=0.98. These values show that the scale's structure fit is good. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was 0.949 for the entire scale, and 0.929, 0.865 and 0.842 for the factors, respectively. It was determined that the scale was highly reliable and the items included in the scale was highly internally consistent. Accordingly, it is apparent that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be applied to measure the impact of social and cultural activities on the acquisition of spiritual values.
