Abstract

The purpose of this study was to development of scales to measure ‘creative convergence capacity’ as the outcome of capstone class in college. Based on results from literature review and delphi survey, this study clarifies a theoretical ground for ‘creative convergence capacity’. Initial items to measure this concept were verified by content analysis and then finalized. After a pilot test done with 220 college students, gathered data were analyzed by item selection and exploratory factor analysis to verify their validity. Next, the main test implemented with 410 college students was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis using the method for rotation based on principle component analysis and varimax for validating the final items to measure ‘creative convergence capacity’. As a result, the scale for ‘creative convergence capacity’ consists of 34items to measure the following four factors: critical thinking, creative conception, collaborative activity, innovative problem solving. Criterion-related validity were performed at last to check this scale’s theoretical construct. In conclusion, this study concluded that the constructs for creative convergence capacity could be generalized and applicable to other samples.
