Development of a Computational Thinking Skills Scale

Abstract

Based on the need to measure university students’ computational thinking skills, this study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale. Accordingly, a Likert-type scale named the Computational Thinking Skills Scale was developed. The study employed an exploratory sequential design, one of the mixed method approaches. Data for the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were collected from 260 students studying at a public university. Prior to the analysis, the KMO value was found to be 0.91. The results revealed that the scale consisted of four factors, which explained 53% of the total variance. These factors were identified as “problem solving and strategic thinking,” “algorithmic problem solving,” “systematic problem solving,” and “digital learning tools.” The scale included 24 items in total. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to examine construct validity. Reliability analyses yielded Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.89, 0.85, 0.84, and 0.79 for the sub-dimensions, while the overall alpha coefficient was 0.933. In conclusion, a valid and reliable measurement tool was developed to evaluate university students’ computational thinking skills.
