Abstract
The purposes of this research was to develop and examine the quality of measurement instrument for transformative learning process of graduate students. Data were collected by 5-point rating scale questionnaire, completed by 100 graduate students of education. The data were then analyzed by the second order confirmatory factor analysis, using Mplus 7.11. The research findings were as followed;
1. Measurement instrument for transformative learning process of graduate students had
5-point rating scale questionnaire consisted of 4 dimensions: mindset assessment within the mind, knowledge sharing for creating new alternatives and learning, planning of preparing for creating new roles, and building and integrating of competence into learning and experience by new perspective. Each of the dimensions had 6 items (a total of 24 items).
2. Measurement instrument for transformative learning process of graduate students had content validity as examined by experts. The reliability coefficients ranged between .806 - .863. It also had construct validity as shown by the model fit with the empirical data (Chi-square (224, N = 100) = 259.516, p = .052, CFI = .972,
TLI = .965, RMSEA = .040, SRMR = .073).
