Interest in inquiry is the ability to solve problems through a systematic process involving sensing the problem, formulating hypothesis and verifying the hypothesis after collecting and analyzing evidence. The development of interest in inquiry has been mentioned as a nurturant effect of ‘Advance organizer model of teaching’. This paper explores the procedure of developing and validating the scale to measure interest in inquiry among student-teachers of B.Ed programme. Initial pools of 50 test items were constructed. The validity of the scale was established by experts’ suggestions. Reliability of the scale was established with the help of Cronbach's alpha statistics, which is the most common measure of internal consistency. As a result of item analysis, 38 items were deleted and 12 items were selected to form the final scale.
