核心能力素養之潛在動態因素模式探析

A Categorical Latent Dynamic Factor Model for Core Competency

本研究旨在探討通過IEET（The Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan）認證的系所學生核心能力素養之類別潛在動態因素模式（categorical latent dynamic factor model, CLDFM）之分析。針對研究對象，本研究持續追蹤調查三年他們核心能力素養之成長趨勢。調查結果除了考驗信度、效度分析外，還進行因素解釋以及潛在成長模式分析。研究結果顯示：1.核心能力素養成長模式為非線性成長曲線模式。2.核心能力素養之養成過程存在著時間系列自迴歸AR（2）現象。3.核心能力素養多層次模式優於單一層次模式。4.多向度核心能力素養動態模式比靜態模式更適合。根據研究結果，本研究亦提出一些限制以及未來研究的一些建議。

The purpose of this study is to explore the categorical latent dynamic factor model of core competency for undergraduates in the departments joining the certificate of the Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan (IEET). This study adopts three-year panel survey to investigate undergraduates entering the college in 2013 as participants. The method of this study is to use factor analysis and latent growth curve analysis in addition to reliability and validity. The study indicates that the growth model of core competency shows a non-linear growth curve model. Second, autoregression is found in the process of core competency. Third, the multilevel model of core competency is better than the single level model. Finally, multi-dimensional dynamic model of core competency is superior to the static model. According to the results, some suggestions are offered for future research and applications.
