Abstract

This study investigated the validation of literate competency measurement model in elementary students by employing second order confirmatory factor analysis. Participants were 370 of grade 3 students which derived from multi-strange random sampling. Data were collected by literate competency test, data analysis method used discrimination index range between 0.282 and 0.693. Its prediction accuracy of receiver operating characteristic graphing could be reported range between 0.817 and 0.911. Confirmatory factor analysis to determine the construct validity, Goodness of Fit Index of model was fitted to the empirical data and statistically significant (Chi-Square Test = 19.130, DF =13, X2 / df = 1.471, P-Value = 0.1191, RMSEA = 0.036, CFI = 0.996, TLI = 0.990, SRMR = 0.016) were found. The reliability was analyzed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was 0.916. The result revealed that literate competency models were good fit for the data and the test is both valid and reliable as a measure of literate competency.
