Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a standardized, valid, and reliable measurement tool that can be used to assess students' receptive and productive collocational knowledge. In the process of developing the assessment tool, a total of 60 questions were prepared based on the theoretical and conceptual framework with a focus on two dimensions. The assessment tool was administered to 344 students in grades 5-8 of middle school, and after the analyses, items with inadequate difficulty and discriminative power were removed from the test, reducing the number of questions to 40. It was observed that the 40 items in the final form of the measurement tool were highly discriminative and exhibited a high level of internal consistency reliability. In the receptive dimension of the assessment tool, there are items with two components, while in the productive dimension, there are fill-in-the-blank type items. Correct answers to the items should be scored as "1," and incorrect or blank responses should be scored as "0." A high score on the assessment tool indicates a high level of collocational knowledge for the test-taker.
