| Abstract: |
This study aimed to develop and validate a Creative Thinking Scale (CTS-Cre) for B.Ed. students by integrating expert content validation with pilot psychometric testing, thereby addressing the pressing need for context-specific creativity assessment in teacher education. An initial pool of 35 items was generated from creativity frameworks, teacher education literature, and policy mandates. An expert panel (N = 11) evaluated items using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR). Items meeting both thresholds (I-CVI ≥ 0.78; CVR ≥ 0.59) were retained. The refined pool was pilot-tested with 89 B.Ed. students. Classical item analysis, reliability estimation, and Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM) for cognitive equivalence were conducted. Expert review reduced the item pool from 35 to 30 items, improving scale-level CVI from 0.849 to 0.874. Pilot testing of the 36-item version yielded a Cronbach’s α of 0.73, indicating acceptable reliability for early-stage validation. Item analysis led to the revision of 10 items and removal of one item. RAPM scores showed a symmetric distribution, confirming feasibility for matched-pair sampling. The CTS-Cre provides the first systematically validated creative thinking scale tailored to Indian teacher education, aligning with NEP 2020 priorities. By combining CVR and CVI with pilot psychometrics, this study contributes to methodological rigor and offers a replicable model for creativity assessment in teacher training worldwide. |
