Abstract

This research aimed to develop and validate the quality of a measurement instrument for the growth mindset of pre-service teachers. The research sample consisted of 100 fourth-year pre-service teachers from the Faculty of Education, Dhonburi Rajabhat University, during the 2024 academic year. The sample size was determined using Soper's method, and samples were selected using stratified random sampling based on their academic major. The data collection instrument is a rating scale questionnaire measuring the growth mindset of pre-service teachers. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as confirmatory factor analysis using the R-Studio program.

The research findings revealed that the second-order confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model for the growth mindset of pre-service teachers showed a good fit with the empirical data. This was indicated by the following fit indices ( equation  (393, N = 100) = 369.88, p= .79, CFI = 1.00, SRMR = 0.08, RMSEA = 0.05. These statistical values suggest that the developed measurement model for the growth mindset of pre-service teachers, based on the research framework, is consistent with empirical data.
