Abstract
The objectives of this research were 1) to study the components and indicators of life skills in the digital of student teachers at Rajabhat University; and 2) to develop and verify the quality of life skills assessment in the digital. This research was mixed-methods research. The sample consisted of 840 four-year student teachers studying in the first semester of the academic year 2022 in the Faculty of Education, Rajabhat University. The sample was obtained by multistage random sampling. The instrument used for data collection was a life skill in the digital age. Data were analyzed using statistics to determine the mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, confirmatory factor analysis, and content analysis. The findings indicated that 1) components and indicators of life skills in the digital age for Rajabhat University student teachers consisted of 4 components: 1.1 Decision-making and problem-solving skills using critical thinking; 1.2 Emotional and stress management skills; 1.3 Self-awareness skills; and 1.4 Information, media, and technology skills. 2) The developed model for measuring life skills in the digital age for the Rajabhat University student teachers was consistent with empirical data as reflected by the parameters as follows: 2 = 15.28, df = 31, p = 0.99,
2/ df = 0.49, RMSER = 0.00, RMR = 0.02, GIF = 0.99, AGIF = 0.99.
