초등학생용 도덕적 창의성향 검사(MCTT) 타당화

Abstract

The aim of this research was to develop the moral creativity-tendency test(MCTT) for upper grade elementary school students in the elementary school in South Korea. This research was made up of 8 steps. The first step was to investigate the related researches and theories in the conception of moral creativity-tendency. The second step was to construct the operational conception of moral creativity-tendency focused on 5 factors. The third step was to develop 40 items related to moral creativity-tendency. As the fourth step, to verify the content validity, 3 elementary school teachers modified the above 40 items into 34 items. 34 items were revised by five 4th grade students. The fifth step was to determine a preliminary scale consisted of 30 items. As the sixth step, a preliminary scale was tested from 197 4, 5, 6th grade students. As seventh step, the data collected from 190 samples were analyzed to identify sub-factors. 19 items were extracted and 5 sub-factors were identified as the results: curiosity, confidence, openness, concentration, patience. To examine the stability of the factor structure of the 19-item measurement model, a confirmatory factor analysis with a maximum likelihood estimation method was conducted in AMOS 21.0, and 5 factors were identified. The fit indices for the 19-item 5-factor model were as follows: χ2= 190.182(df=142, n=190), p <.01; Normed χ2 = 1.339; AGFI = .894; CFI = .971; GFI = .921; RMSEA = .039(at 90% confidence intervals, .033-.041); RMR= .050. To examine internal consistency and split-half reliability, data were collected from the samples of 120 elementary school students. The result showed high internal consistency(Cronbach's α= .896), split-half reliability(r= .905), Guttman correlation .909, retest reliability .911. In conclusion, this instrument demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity. Therefore, it is an appropriate test of moral creativity-tendency for upper grade elementary school students in South Korea.
