ABSTRACT

This study aimed to develop and validate a diagnostic instrument for PSC (Problem Finding & Solving, Self-Learning, and Collaboration) core competencies based on the educational vision of University B. To achieve this goal, sub-factors were derived through a comprehensive literature review, and the instrument was systematically developed through item construction, learner review, expert content validation, pilot testing, and a main survey. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the factor structures of the Pcompetency (creative problem-solving, critical thinking), Scompetency (self-management, AI literacy), and Ccompetency (interpersonal collaboration, global communication) were appropriate. Reliability indices were also found to be at acceptable levels. The developed instrument can serve as a practical assessment tool for comprehensively diagnosing university students’ performance-based core competencies.
