DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOOL FOR MEASURING STUDENT TEACHERS’ UDL ACTION COMPETENCY
Keywords:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL), UDL Action Competency, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)Abstract
This research aims to develop and examine the tool for measuring student teachers’ UDL action competency. The developed questionnaire consists of 12 items and has a five-point rating scale. A total of 92 student teachers; a group of non-research sample, but have attribute similar to the sample who participate in teaching practice in 2019 completed the survey. The data were analyzed and content validity is a measure based on IOC value, internal consistency reliability is a measure based on Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and construct validity is analyzed by first order confirmatory factor analysis. Results showed that the UDL competency model has content validity (IOC, 1.00) and the constructs are considered valid and reliable (Cronbach’s alpha, .70 - .87). The UDL action competency model has the Goodness of Fit criteria (χ2 (1, N = 92) = 2.867, p = .09, CFI = .982, TLI = .946, RMSEA = .142, SRMR = .033) so that the model fits and suitable to be measured student teachers’ UDL action competency.
