Developing a Teacher Cognition on ICT Instrument: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Teachers' cognition (knowledge, belief, attitude, and self-efficacy) regarding ICT in ELT needs to be revealed to gain
a more comprehensive understanding of their perspective and understanding of incorporating ICT into their everyday
instructional activities. This study aims to create Teacher Cognition on ICT (TC-ICT) scales that can be used to assess
their cognition level. The paper describes the processes of building the instrument, from domain definition and
delimitation to instrument construction. This survey research used an online questionnaire to collect data from 54
respondents and then conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to analyze the results. The validity of the 68 items with
a loading factor of more than 6.0 and the AVE score exceeded 5.0 was confirmed by the study. Furthermore, all five
factors (knowledge of ICT, belief in ICT, attitude toward ICT, ICT self-efficacy, and ICT perceived use in ELT) had a
composite reliability value of better than 0.7. As a result, all indicators used to measure the variables were found to be
reliable. Furthermore, all variables' Cronbach's Alpha values were better than 0.6. Thus, the instrument items were
shown to be valid and reliable in assessing the essential variables, and they may be utilized in teacher cognition
dimensions and scales studies.
