The Development of Measurement Scale on Creative Innovation Skills for Secondary School Students

Abstract

The research purposes were 1) to construct and verify the quality of measurement scale on creative and innovation skills for secondary school students 2) to construct the norms of measurement scale on creative and innovation skills for secondary school students. The sample was 831 secondary school students studying in the second semester of the academic year 2020 in 27 schools from the secondary education service area office of Sukhothai. The sample was selected by using multi-stage sampling. The measurement scale was five-point rating scale with 43 scale items. The results of the research were as follows: The measurement scale consisted of 3 components, including think creatively, work creatively with others and implement innovation. Regarding the quality of measurement scale, the content validity of the definition of creative and innovation skills was between 0.6-1. The content validity of the measurement scale of creative innovation skills for secondary school students was between 0.6-1. The discriminant validity of all three components was found to be between 0.26-0.67. The reliability for this measurement scale was 0.925, which was considered as a high level. The factor loading of the observed variables had a value between 0.41-0.75. The norm of Think creatively had normalized T-score ranged from T10 to T71, Work creatively with others T-score ranged from T11 to T69, Implement innovation T-score ranged from T12 to T69, and measurement scale on creative and innovation skills for secondary school students had normalized T-score ranged from T7 to T71.
