Development and Validation of a Creative Confluence Teaching Competence Test for Korean Language Teachers

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a test to measure the creative confluence teaching competency of Korean language teachers. Therefore, the components and sub-variables of the creative confluence teaching competency that Korean language teachers should have were derived and completed through the validation process. First, the concept and components of the Korean language teacher's creative confluence teaching competency, which was first derived through FGI, were identified. Second, the validity of the components (four competency groups, seven competencies 12 sub-competency) and 34 measurement items were confirmed through the expert content validity. Third, the data of 200 students collected from Korean teachers were processed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the data of 202 students was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). As a result of this study, the statistical fitness level of the measurement model was confirmed, and the construct validity was secured by confirming the convergent validity and discriminant validity. Cross-validity between sex, age and group of affiliation was also identified. Therefore, the test of the Korean language teacher's creative confluence teaching competency developed in this study was confirmed to be four competency groups: the Korean language teacher's creative confluence expertise, the creative confluence Korean language class design competence, the creative confluence Korean language class execution competence, and the creative confluence Korean language class evaluation competence.
