Abstract	This study aimed to scrutinize the scales used in citizenship education in Turkey through thematic content analysis. In the study, all of the scales developed/adapted within the scope of citizenship education without a year limitation were reviewed and 56 scales found in these studies were evaluated. The document analysis was used as the method of data collection. It was determined that the scales examined in the study were mostly published within the scope of doctoral dissertations and articles. Most of the scales were developed/adapted in 2016, a great majority of which were developed by researchers themselves whereas a small number of which were adapted from other cultures into Turkish. The most frequently used key words in the studies where the scales were available were "citizenship", "social studies" and "citizenship education". The sample mostly used in the scales were composed of university students and the most frequently used sample size included 201-300 participants. It was concluded that the relevant scales considered multi-factor structures in relation to citizenship. In addition, a number of deficiencies were found in analysing the psychometric properties and recommendations were made accordingly. (As Provided).
