- Abstract
This study aims to develop and validate a leadership competency scale for high school students using the partial credit model (PCM) and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). To do this, based on a comprehensive literature review, three sub-domains were newly set as ‘futuristic vision’, ‘group management’, ‘lead by example’, and a preliminary test consisting of 30 items (10 items for each sub-domain) was developed. In addition, the content validity of the preliminary test was checked by 9 PhDs in educational measurement and evaluation (above 4.33 out of 5.00 for each item). And a preliminary test was conducted on 355 high school students and construct validity and reliability were checked to complete a scale consisting of 15 items. To this end, four competitive models were made: (1) unidimensional 15 items considering only the item fit, (2) unidimensional 15 items considering the item fit and content, (3) three dimensional 15 items considering only the item fit, (4) three dimensional 15 items considering the item fit and content, and construct validity and reliability were compared. As a result, the fourth model showed the best construct validity.
