ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid test of college students learning competencies. For this purpose, the concepts and components of college student learning competencies were derived from the analysis of previous studies, and preliminary items to measure these factors were developed. The data of 844 college students, excluding unfaithful data, were randomly divided into two groups to conduct exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, the 33-item ‘College Student Learning Competency Test’ was completed, and the components were thinking creativity (thinking, creative problem-solving), strategic learning motivation (meta-cognitive strategies, emotional management strategies, learning motivation), and basic learning (numeracy, digital literacy). This tool can be useful for measuring the learning competency of college students. Through this, universities will be able to devise appropriate interventions to improve students' learning competencies.
