Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to 1) develop model of undergraduate nursing studentdesirable characteristics according to Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher education: Cognitive skill, Interpersonal skill and Responsibility, Numerical Analysis Communication, Information Technology Skills. 2)develop scale and test manual of desirable characteristics for nursing students. 3) test psychometric property of the scale and test manual. 4) determine standard setting for this scale. This scale seek to improve on Computer Multimedia test. The participants were 1,106 senior undergraduate nursing by Multi-stage random sampling. The data was analyzed by Mplus and IRTPRO3 . The results were as follows: 1. Nursing student desirable characteristics according to Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher education in 3 dimensions that were consisted of 4 models: Cognitive skill, Interpersonal skill, Responsibility and Numerical Analysis, Communication, Information Technology Skills. 2. The scale was divided into 4 test that consisted of multiple-choice, essay, and oral presentation. The reliability for total scale were .791, 853, .880 and .863 respectively. In addition item analysis based on CTT show that discrimination (r) supported the quality of scale between 0.263-0.559. According to IRT the value of discrimination (a) between 0.77-1.79 and difficulty parameter (b) or threshold for multiple-choice was between -0.88-0.12, for the essay and oral presentation were ordering threshold (β2>β1) between 0.30-6.78 and 0.25-6.52 respectively. 3. According to Second order CFA, all of model in this scale had construct validity: 1)Cognitive skill model with χ2=55.000 (df=44, p=0.1237) CFI=0.996, TLI=0.994, RMSEA=0.020, SRMR = 0.032, 2)Interpersonal skill model with χ2= 24.611, (df=18, p=0.1360), CFI=0.997, TLI=0.994, RMSEA=0.024, SRMR = 0.019, 3)Responsibility model with χ2 = 21.792, (df= 17, p= 0.1929), CFI=0.998, TLI=0.996, RMSEA=0.021 , SRMR=0.016 ,Numerical Analysis, Communication, Information Technology Skills model with χ2= 32.233, (df= 25, p= 0.1514), CFI = 0.997, TLI=0.995, RMSEA = 0.021 , SRMR = 0.017 4. The standard Setting was determined by bookmark method. This score was divided into 2 levels that defining the passes/failures threshold was set at 15, 14, 14 and 18 respectively. The inter-rater reliability by Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) were 0.959, 0.961, 0.963 and 0.948 respectively
