description The purpose of this research is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that measures the social justice perceptions of university students towards their universities. The data of the research were collected from associate and undergraduate students studying at Bingöl University. Two different samples were used for the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. There were 602 students in the first sample and 591 students in the second sample of the study. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a three-dimensional structure with 25 items was reached, and this structure explained approximately 71% of the variance in social justice perception. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined that the goodnessof-fit indices of the three-dimensional structure were at acceptable and good levels (x2 /df = 3.942, p = .000, RMR = .08, SRMR = .04, GFI = .91, AGFI = .88, NFI = .94, NNFI = .95, CFI = .95, RMSEA = .06). Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficients for the three-dimensional structure were determined as .93, .94 and .88 for the equality, justice and support dimensions of the scale, respectively, and .96 for the whole scale. Based on the research findings, it was concluded that the “Social Justice Perception in Universities Scale” is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to measure the social justice perceptions of university students towards the universities they study at.
