Abstract: The present study seeks to develop "Digital Pedagogy Research Community Competence Perception Scales" consisting of two scales, namely "Digital Pedagogy Competence Perception Scale in Research Community" (Scale 1) and "Digital Pedagogy Competence Perception Scale in Teaching" (Scale 2) to determine teachers' perceptions of digital pedagogical competence in professional development. Within the scope of validity studies, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted with 274 teachers in Bursa (in 2024-2025 academic year), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted with 309 different teachers. In the validity study, EFA indicated that the total variance explained was 73.03% (Scale 1) and 69.10% (Scale 2) and that the items in both scales loaded under 2 factors with eigenvalues above 1. In addition, the inter-factor correlation values were found to be r[greater than or equal to]0.75 in Scale 1 and r [greater than or equal to]0.78 in Scale 2. According to the reliability of the scales, Cronbach's.alpha (Scale 1 and Scale 2: [alpha] [greater than or equal to]0.95) and McDonald's omega (Scale 1 and Scale 2: [omega] [greater than or equal to]0.95) coefficients above 0.90 for both scales. As a result, "Digital Pedagogy Research Community Competence Perception Scales" were found to be valid and reliable in measuring teachers' digital pedagogical competencies. Factors in Scale 1 were named as "Cognitive Competence Perception" and "Social Competence Perception"; factors in Scale 2 were named as "Digital Pedagogical Orientation" and "Digital Pedagogical Practices". Scale 1 consisted of 14 items and scale 2 consisted of 15 items.
