ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to develop a communication competency scale for university students. To do this, Three times delphi survey, items development, two pilot surveys were conducted based on literature review and then the measurement scale was confirmed. The delphi survey was examined by a panel of 12 experts who majored in Education. Question items were developed by two experts and survey was done in K and N university in Coongcheongnam province to ensure the validity of the items. As the result of exploratory factors analysis, items under .40 factor loadings were eliminated. 5 items in active listening and understanding, 5 items in understanding topic, 5 items in mutual understanding, 5 items in consideration, 3 items in answering to question, and 4 items in document writing were consisted of and reliability were acquired. In order to secure the final items. 573 university students’s data were examined a confirmatory factor analysis through the second pilot test. The absolute degree of goodness of fit test for items fitness met criteria ratio as follows, GFI .912, RMR .035, RMSEA .035, The incremental fitness was CGI .937, TLI .901, so the fitness was confirmed. To confirm convergent and discriminant validity, Standardized coefficient values, decision coefficients, and conceptual reliability were examined. The standardized coefficients ranged from .533 to .801, the mean variance extraction index (AVE) ranged from .516 to .681, and the reliability was .760 to .854. So, the measurement scale for university students was proven to be well-constructed.
