The main purpose of this paper was to present a technology attitude scale for education. So, 311 Isfahani high school teachers were selected from among Isfahani high school teachers, using multistage cluster sam-pling. The instrument used was the Persian translation of Turkish Technol-ogy Attitude Scale. After gathering the data , they were analyzed using SPSS software. After deleting items with lower correlation, the Alpha reli-ability coefficient for the scale was 0.84. The factor analysis of the items of the scale showed that more than 61% of the variance of the whole scores could be explained using this scale. After Varimax rotation of the factors, the correlation between each item with each factor was determined and five factors were named according to that. Also, it showed that the scale is multi-dimentional. The results of the independent T-test indicated that there is no significant difference between male and female teachers’ attitudes toward technology, however, the technical school teachers had better at-titudes in proportion to their high school colleagues. In sum, the teachers’ attitude was positive. This scale could be used in other researches as an exact device.
