Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the confirmatory components of the computational thinking learning competency measurement model. The sample group consisted of 240 students in the Bachelor of Education Program in Computer and Digital Technology for Education in Years 2-4 of five of the Rattanakosin Rajabhat Universities. Data collection involved the use of a 5-level (Level 5 indicates that the student’s awareness is at the highest level while Level 1 indicates that the student’s awareness is at the lowest level) checklist questionnaire after which confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed. The results of the research found that the model created by the researcher has 3 components: knowledge, skills, and attributes which are latent variables, and which are consistent with the empirical data with Chi-Square values. The results are statistically significant at the .01 level (Chi-Square=47.680, p=0.112, df=37, Relative Chi-Square Ratio=1.288, GFI=0.970, AGFI=0.930, CFI=1.000, SRMR=0.035, RMSEA=0.035), which meets the specified criteria.
