In this study, data collecting tools which are used to determine the perceived social presence in e-learning environments are examined. After this, social presence scale which was developed by Kang, Choi and Park (2007) was selected. After examining and confirming equivalency between English and Turkish versions, the scale was examined by field specialist to verify content validity. In order to find out validity and reliability of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach Alpha correlation coefficients, corrected item-total correlations and t-tests between items’ means of upper 27%-lover 27% points were used. Scale has 3 factors and 19 items. Results of these analyses show that scale is at an acceptable degree of goodness of fit and the Cronbach alpha values calculated for the 3 factors of the scale vary between 0.79 and 0.91.
