The aim of this research is to develop a Mathematical Creativity Self-Efficacy Perception Scale for Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers. In the research, the exploratory sequential mixed method in which the qualitative and quantitative procedures are used, respectively, is preferred. The 5-point Likert type measurement tool consists of fluency, flexibility, and originality factors. A structure consisting of 27 items and explaining the 64.028% of the total variance was obtained due to the exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The 3-factor structure obtained through EFA was validated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In addition, it was determined that the convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity are provided. The reliability analysis of the measurement tool resulted acceptably. The research concluded that the Mathematical Creativity Self-Efficacy Perception Scale for Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers is valid, reliable, and useful for pre-service mathematics teachers.
