| The aim of this study was to develop a scale which can be used to measure the computational thinking skills (CTS) of high school students. Validity and reliability testing of the scale was performed with the participation of 785 students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the five-point Likert scale had a construct consisting of four factors Problem-solving, Cooperative Learning & Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, and Algorithmic Thinking expressed by 42 items. The factor loadings of the scale varied from .475 to .853. The confirmatory factor analysis performed to reveal the factorial validity of the scale showed that the Chi-square value (χ2 = 2679.07; sd = 815, p = 0.00) was significant. The fitness index values were found to be RMSA = .0075; SRMR = .081; NNFI = .91; CFI = .92; GFI = .90; and AGFI = .88. The Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficient was .969 for the … |
