Abstract

The purposes of this research article were 1) to create and examine the quality of the 21^st Century digital intelligence test; and 2) to establish normative criteria for assessing the 21^st Century digital intelligence. The researcher followed a two-step process: Step 1 was to develop the measurement form and examine the 21^st Century digital intelligence test. The quality of the content validity questionnaire was examined by five experts to assess the appropriateness of the questions. The test was used to test the quality of the test in terms of discriminant power and reliability. A sample of 790 people was selected using a multi-stage random sampling method; Step 2 was to develop the normative criteria of the 21^st Century digital intelligence test for Prathom Suksa 4-6 students enrolled in the second semester of the 2022 academic year in schools under the Nakhon Sawan Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. A multistage random sampling technique was used to sample 1,440 students. The research results revealed that 1) in terms of the development and validation of the 21^st Century digital intelligence test for Prathom Suksa 4-6 students, content validity was found to be consistent between the questions and operational definitions, with values ranging from 0.60-1.00. The discriminant power of each item found that the questions were able to discriminate between high and low groups with statistical significance at the .05 level for every item. The overall reliability was 0.85, with component reliability ranging from 0.82 to 0.84; 2) the 21^st Century digital intelligence test for Prathom Suksa 4-6 students had a normalized score range of 18 to 68.
