Abstract:
This study aims to develop an institutional assessment tool of undergraduates’ core competencies that epitomize the image of talent of University B. To this end, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to explore the theoretical basis of core competencies, and the importance and relevance of those competencies derived from the prior procedure were reviewed via a survey of its faculty members and undergraduate students. Core competencies and sub-competencies were then identified. A preliminary survey and main survey were performed on the assessment tool, and its validation was carried out by using confirmatory factor analysis and item response theory. This study showed that University B's core competency assessment tool consisted of six core competencies, 12 sub competencies, and a total of 58 questions. An array of rigorous statistical tests, such as reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and item response analysis, confirmed that the appropriate level of both reliability and validity was achieved. This study contributes to developing a core competency assessment tool for undergraduate students at a comprehensive university in general, and a customized assessment tool aligned with institution-specific goals of education in particular.
