International Journal of Teaching and Education, 2016, vol. 4, issue 1, 26-44 Abstract: The Academic Coping Strategies Scale (the ACS Scale) developed by Sullivan in 2010 is a pivotal screening tool for counselors and educators to understand undergraduates? handling mechanisms in a tough academic context. This study presents the psychometric features of Turkish version of the scale. 555 undergraduates from three universities in Istanbul participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses advocated a three factor solution like the original scale. Criterion validity was examined through the variables - academic self-efficacy, and learning, performance-approach and performance-avoidance goal tendencies-. The results indicated academic coping strategies had significant correlations with them. Test-retest study yielded consistent scores. These findings point that the Turkish ACS Scale is a credible measurement providing great opportunities for scrutinizing undergraduates? coping patterns utilized for a demanding educational context.
