A Valid and Reliable Scale for Education 4.0 Competency Determination (E4CD)

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable “Education 4.0 Competency Determination” scale. The study was conducted in two sessions: In the first session, exploratory factor analysis was applied to 308 students, and then a confirmatory factor analysis was applied to another group and conducted with 172 students. As a result, a scale consisting of 21 items and three- factors was obtained. The internal consistency coefficient of the first factor, which is mastery of digital technology, was α = .925 using the Cronbach’s Alpha formula and .921 using the Guttman’s Split-half method; the internal consistency coefficient of the second factor, which is information management, was α = .880 and .884 according to Guttman’s Split-half method while the internal consistency coefficient of the third factor, which is active participation in the process, was α = .802 according to the Cronbach’s Alpha formula and .783 according to the Guttman’s Split-half method.
