The overall process of development of the test revealed that the collaboration skills self-assessment test had the index of consistency mean scores between .67 to 1.00 which were in the acceptable range. The reliability of the test equaled .811 which was at a high level. The collaboration skills self-assessment test and research results are benefit to science teachers and other people who are interested in using this kind of test in order to be a guideline for developing and evaluating students’ collaboration skills in science subjects.
